So far, at the beginning, I hear no loud music, just the ground noise; I hear no talking, except for information; I hear no language, other than kindness; and you seem to have a regular greeting; so I'll stay awhile and learn.

Seemed a little chatty about unimportant stuff at the beginning, and I was thinking, “I don’t know if I’m gonna watch this long video if this keeps up!” But once you got onto the job site, your explanations were on point! EXCELLENT video - and yes, I literally watched to the last second! Haha! You explained everything very well and shared valuable pearls gained through lots of experience! Thanks!!! Btw, is your box blade on a 3rd function top lift? It looked like you were changing the top loft as you worked. Thanks again!!!

Can't say it enough... The way you explain things throughout the video really helps someone like me who, just recently started a small grading company with my brother. Love your videos and enthusiasm, thank you for your invested time and willingness to help the new guys getting started. Have a blessed day!

A few years back, I retired the first time. My wife was still working and I got bored. So, I started doing driveways with my Kubota and box blade. At first, I just did work for relatives and neighbors. But, I gave each one a couple of business cards. That got me a few referrals. One day, I was driving around and noticed several driveways that were badly in need of TLC. At one of them the homeowner was mowing the lawn. So, I decided to stop and see if she wanted hers fixed. She did and told me that all of her neighbors were needing theirs fixed too. Well sir, I gave her a half dozen business cards, told her I was working in the area and could start on her driveway the next day. I also mentioned that since I was working in the area I could give her half price if she got a couple of neighbors signed up while I was there. (It was the truth... I was working in the area... I lived two miles away and the next job on my schedule was to clean my pool!) When I showed up the next day, she gave me names and numbers for three neighbors to call. I ended up working the remainder of the week doing culvert, driveway and stump digging on those jobs. I learned that doesn’t hurt to drop a few business cards and do a little marketing!

Todd, I really enjoyed watching you do a professional job. I don't know anything about driveway repairs...but you are a joy to hang around with. Hope your business grows and God blesses you and your family. Honesty and integrity is very rare these days. You have both.

Thank you for the kind words and for watching!

I like your videos with you having the audio showing how the machinery sounds working, gravel being moved, the material being graded! I love it!

I got to tell you, you did a great job explaining everything as you went along.

I’m a newbie tractor owner (B2601) I really appreciate how you explain HOW you’re gonna get it done and WHAT happens when you do what you do. I definitely subscribed!

Thank you for the detailed instruction! Having to maintin my 1000' gravel drive has taught me a bit too.

Having rear remote hydraulics really helps, alot less getting on and off the tractor to adjust your 3 point, wish I had them on my tractor 😁

I would also suggest to the homeowner to plant some tall water loving grasses along the side of the driveway. Then in April after the snow cut the grasses back for regrowth. Keeping the grass through the winter also acts as a natural snow drift screen (depending on the wind direction) and keeps it off the driveway.

Nice job. Transformed the curbside appeal of that property dramatically. And a nice crown, it will last a long time.

Very nicely done and I must say that you really did an outstanding job with your explanations. Found you through Dirt Boss, who is really a class act as well. Thank you for being so thorough and doing all the extra work to produce these videos!

Your box blade skills make me jealous. Every time I use one it comes out looking like a motocross track. I'm SO much better in a skid steer, but tractors are SO much cheaper, guess I'll have to keep practicing.

Thanks for taking the time to film, explain and cut this! Great explanations 🙏

Great job! I always enjoy your tractor working videos. I have a 2015 Kubota M6060, they are great tractors. I do a lot of driveway repairs with mine as well, you do a great job explaining the entire process of what your doing. Thanks

You are a great trainer! I love your style and attitude! Thanks for taking the time to produce these videos! God Bless!!!

I just started box blading this year. Thanks so much for the video.

Wow you really did a good thorough job on this and with explaining every detail perfectly. much respect and great work. Good bless the hard workers out here its not easy

Thank you for the education. I just got a house with a 1300’ long gravel driveway and you video is making me a better grader!

Still don't know how I ended up here. But I certainly learned quite a bit. Thanks my friend. Live long and prosper

Yeah, exceptional explanation and detail, I've noticed a lot of guys out there don't want to let out those "top secret" secrets 👍😀. Your a true help my friend.

I appreciate this video. Helpful since I'm about to do my first gravel driveway repair

Idk how I got here but I wanna learn and drive that machine!

Nice to see a guy properly using that box blade in reverse. Thats where alot of the more technical skill is involved. Good job

Well done! I like how you repaired the base before you added new material. Thanks for posting!

thanks for the inspiration to tackle our small projects

I was taught to put a 6" rock down as a base layer and then put the finer rock down over it. It helps with preventing washout for a longer-lasting drive. I think you did a good job with the crown.

Love how you tell us about what is happening. I am sure the folks you mentioned do as well eh......Dean...... I haven't seen a scarifiyer on a box blade in years. Great tool for sure. Nice job new friend.

quick explanations, lots of action, you know how to teach!

Exactly what I needed to learn for my road. Thank you.

Thanks a bunch for the help. I just acquired a very long gravel driveway and a tractor in a box blade that I’m trying to learn how to use.

This is by far the best video out there. Love how you explain everything. Now I need you to come teach the South Carolina guys how to do this. I'm about go buy me a sub compact tractor and do my own driveway. Thank you!

You are AMAZING! I have never seen such a soft touch with a box blade, it was a thrill to watch. I only wish you lived closer to the Ozarks, our roads make that driveway look like a freeway... beautiful job, sir!

LOOKs good I love your use of the hydraulic top link. Rolled it in would have been better , You don't need a roller I find just driving the loaded dump truck up and down a few times does great and is a good practice for knowing where your tires are.

Love your videos, and I’m learning a lot from them, to apply some of that on our small excavation and grading business , thanks very much for sharing your knowledge.

Can also use the rounded bottom of your loader bucket to push drown and drag along to smooth off those cut edges. That dump driving was smooth, and saves you so much time spreading the material. I might have to get a small truck like that to haul my own material because I never seem to get a driver that can dump smoothly like that.

We did our 65 ton driveway and culvert with the loader on a Kubota BX25 this fall. Its harder than it looks to get the grade right! Box blade would have helped a lot.

Great tutorial and information. I just purchased 6.5 acres of wooded land and will be doing or having driveways done, the more info I have the better I can plan. Kudo's
