A hobby homesteader documents a real grading job, filling foot-and-a-half-deep rain ruts on a steep, rocky quarter-mile hill using a Kubota BX and a 5-ft Titan box blade. The video covers blade angle setup, using a loaded front bucket for traction, diff-lock use on slick terrain, and an honest problem: scarifiers flipping up rocks with no clean solution found. Good for BX owners curious about box-blade sizing and steep-slope grading limits.
An owner-operator hobby homesteader sharing candid, learn-as-they-go impressions from their own 38-acre property, not a dealership or professional operator.
