Nice job! Looks like you definitely have some experience using a box blade for sure!

None really at all! I’ve used it on my septic to smooth the dirt but that was only a few passes. Thanks for the comment my head just expanded a bit! Ha

Turned out really nice. Maybe a landscape rake on an angle to take the top down and push the asphalt to raise the sides.

Thank you. I’m always looking for an excuse to pick up another implement! What’s a tractor without implements anyway?

Free asphalt millings is only a dream for me.Thank you. I’m always looking for an excuse to pick up another implement! What’s a tractor without implements anyway?
They go for a hefty price per ton here.
If you do a really nice grading job in the Spring, then the Summer sun will pack those millings together to make a really hard, relatively smooth, surface.
An EA rear Deluxe Scrape Blade would be a nice tool to also have.

Looks good. I spread 50 Tri-axle loads of that on my driveway with a homemade landplane type blade. That stuff has made a driveway base that has stood the test of time. My drive was at least 8" thick everywhere and I have since had hot reclaimed asphalt laid over what I initially put down. My drive is 2000' and 14' wide.

They won't even sell it here ... at all. They work it back into new product.

The piles here all have signs not to take, but sure have lots of spots where it is missing. A neighbor owns wide spot on side of the road where a bunch was dumped. One weekend, a loader and dump truck repositioned entire pile to our easement road, leading to their house. Unfortunately I don’t think they managed more than about inch thick so hadn’t held up that well even after rolling. Looked great for couple ofmonths.
