Read articles →A John Deere salesperson uses a real road-restoration project to show the Frontier BB2048 box blade in actual working conditions, hooking up via iMatch, adjusting scarifier depth, filling low spots, and pulling a sizable root. He also compares the box blade against a land rake and rear blade, touches on Frontier vs. off-brand quality considerations, and mentions the warranty benefit of bundling implements at purchase. Best for 1025R shoppers weighing whether the sub-compact can handle light grading work.
The presenter identifies himself as a John Deere salesperson, so the implement and financing recommendations carry a clear sales perspective.
Yes, the video shows the 1025R running the Frontier BB2048 box blade to level land, fill low spots, and do final grading on a road restoration project.
The land rake sorts roots and debris better but does not dig below the surface or have down force, while the box blade digs out vines and roots and keeps the tractor more level.
Buying a Frontier implement with a new John Deere tractor doubles the warranty on that implement, which does not happen with an aftermarket box blade.
For the first pass, the scarifiers were set to the deepest depth to pull roots and vines sitting just under the surface before further grading.
