Rear blade or box?

[MtnViewRanch]

Would someone please show me the box blade that will do this. (first 4 pics)

I have 4 different implements that I use when working on roads.

To build a road I start with my rear blade.

If there are areas that need material cut out or put in, I will use the box blade for that.

To maintain my roads I usually use my land-plane grader blade.

To put a nice final touch on the roads, my landscape rake works well for that.

Don't get me wrong, any one of these implements will work on roads, just some are better at doing certain aspects of road work that others.

JMO with what I have and my conditions that I have to work with.

Brian,
i agree with you that having the right tools for the job makes a huge difference. If you do lots of driveway and road maintenance you will need all of these. Doesn't matter how you slice it but all of the implements you show have their own best uses and there is not one of them that does it all. You can perform touch ups with less than all of these but at some point you will need to reshape the drive and having the right tools will become important.

For some people it may make more sense to hire this out, depends on individual needs.

I thought of making a rear blade, but I have one simple question as I have never had a close up look at one. What is used for the pivot, is it a shaft and bearing arrangment, or just shaft in a bushing or sleeve.
