He acknowledges the blade is too large for the tractor, skips the rippers, and gives a brief before-and-after look rather than a methodical walkthrough. Best for RK25 owners curious whether the compact tractor can manage a bigger box blade on light gravel work.
Posted by the chicken hawk farmstead channel, apparently an owner-operator learning as they go and explicitly inviting feedback from more experienced viewers.
Yes, the owner says even with a big, oversized 72-inch box blade the RK25 did a pretty good job grading gravel, though it bogged down when very full.
No, the owner skipped the rippers for this gravel job, saying they were not needed since the gravel was not sinking in like clay would.
The owner believes it is oversized, normally you would use at least one size down, but it still worked for spreading gravel on the driveway.
