Ted, Love the videos keep'em coming.  From personal experience I found putting a crown in the road prevents potholes by allowing the water to run off the side rather than pooing up.

Came back again to listening to the sound of the grading process.... love it!

[aaronburford]

Loving this video! Another month watching again!

[aaronburford]

Great video! Love the sound of the machinery and the grading being done!

I dont have a crown in any road or driveway on our farm and manage them all with this tool. you cant beat it!!!

[MrMrwilem]

everyone is worried about the crown, if you want crown in the drive way (its gravel, its gonna drain if its of sufficient thickness)  just get a 48" leveler and do it in halves with the blades angled to the center. this tool is an awesome tool.

Once again Ted, you guys have done an excellent job showing one of the products that you sell being used. YouTube looks to be an excellent way to market the items you sell. I like how you try to take the time to explain how to set up & use each item you show here on YouTube. Thanks.

I used to use 1 where it had angle adjustments on it via hydro remotes in then they work great because you can adjust it to crown the road

Always good information on these videos.

Because the blades are sweeping from right to left if you always run on the right side of the road it will pull the material from the outside of the road and drop it in the middle creating a crown.

I like the way it mixes the dirt with the gravel, 👍🏼 . It would work great on a properly installed driveway but in some cases you have to work with what you got . Hook me up with one and I’ll let you know how it work but so far I’m good . At some point I do want one for maintenance .

If used correctly you can crown your drive with it. I do mine with a 6'. You merely ride on the left side and raise the adjusting arm so that when raise the lifting bars the outside arm has slack and doesn't move. Or vice versa you can lower the adjusting arm and the left arm will rise on its own. With this you would need to be on the opposite side of the drive. This tool is a dream for anyone with a long drive. Mine is around 1000 ft. These don't leave dips as bad as box blades.

Hi, Ted! I like this leveler! In the end you can pull the excess/ larger rocks with the landscape rake...windrow, throw and done! Great video!

Yeah Peanut is famous!! We need a "Peanut cam" so we can see what he's doing at the controls & learn as well....
Thanks for all the great videos.

Wonderful tool for what it's designed for. Love the tractor..

[MikeandjulieScanlon]

That's a sweet tool for cutting a road. Can't believe the job it did. Thatd be a week of work with a boxblade.

Neat attachment, never seen one quite like this, it works wonders.

Is the total weight of the land blade used to grade? Or is the height adjusted and held by the hitch? Thank you.
