I really like watching Country View Acres. Evan received a new Starlink and he built a mounting bracket for the dish, routed the wiring and used a Netgear Network Extender. Great video for a newbie like me and helps us get ready. Fingers crossed on the mid 2022 arrival. Here's the link if...

We just ordered an 84” EA Severe Extreme Duty Landscape Rake with the optional offset for our Kubota MX5800. Our tractor is about 70” wide. We thought about a 72”, but decided on the 84”. This will give us future flexibility and to be able to gather more loose material.

Hi deelowe, We have a Woods BB720x, which I highly recommend. It can cut 3" diameter items and I definitely know that hubby has easily cut 2" diameter saplings. They don't sell them anymore (may be some new "old" models left, but I think Woods now sells this as a replacement BB72.50. We added...

It’s a sad day. I was pushed out to mid-2022 also.

Thank you Otgaugres. I told my husband and he said he will check the bolts. We don't want to lose them, especially since it would probably take a few months and some bucks to get a new set.

Thank you Egon. I put your information together with others and I think we've got a plan now. Buy a box blade or land plane w/scarifiers. Is 700lbs sufficient? Hubby nixed the back blade, but he's open to getting a landscape rake depending on it's price. Scarify. Spread out the loose gravel...

Thank you /pine. I didn't know that we shouldn't work a gravel driveway when it's dry.

It would be a bunch cheaper to spray it. I'll put that in my driveway notes. Thank you!

Thanks Deezler. Do you know how long I've been asking to get a box blade? I think my husband finally realized how bad the driveway is when he drove my car a couple of times. He also saw how bad the skid plate looked when we changed the oil. Final factor was that we needed to fix the driveway...

Thank you Bukit. I'll see if I can convince my husband on the top and tilt. Is it expensive and/or difficult to install if you're handy?

We do have short runs of ditches on the right side of the driveway. There are numerous ruts from the delivery trucks and the gravel is building up on the left side of the driveway. I'll try to order a rake too and pull that buildup over.

We have to look at what the driveway looks like after we smooth it out and compact it. I know we'll need the crusher run, but I have a feeling we'll need that 3/4" washed rock.

We'll look at using geo textile on our future driveway. Weeds in the driveway are bad!

The tractor sales person said we really didn't need hydraulics!!! We may have the local Kioti dealer install the hydraulics as he's only 10 minutes from the future house. The Kubota dealer we purchased from is about an hour away and the local Kubota dealer doesn't have a good rep.

What are water bars?
