John Deere 1025R - Spreading gravel with my rear blade / #102

This is a real-world project video, not a spec walkaround: an owner uses his 1025R's loader bucket then an old King Cutter rear blade to spread and grade three-quarter inch gravel, expanding a parking area. He explains load technique with no rear counterweight, blade passes for compaction, and the rock type used. Ends with him repainting the decades-old blade. Best for owners considering grading work with this tractor.
