Read articles →This is a personal driveway-expansion project video, not a tractor review: the owner hauls gravel with a Lamar dump trailer, uses the spreader gate to lay driveway base, then runs the Kubota B2601 with a Land Pride RB1672 rear blade to grade it. He candidly notes the blade struggled on uneven ground and that back-dragging with the bucket worked better. Useful for owners curious about real-world grading results and dump trailer spreader gate quirks.
An owner-operator, Dave, documenting his own property projects with the B2601 rather than a dealer or reviewer.
The ground was uneven, and once it was not level the grader kept going up, making the unevenness worse and worse.
In this case yes, the owner found back-dragging with the bucket worked best for the driveway part, though each tool has pros and cons.
You need fairly dry material. If it is too wet it sticks together, comes out in one big clump, and can hit the gate hard enough to bend it.
