Read articles →An owner-operator working through a real winter problem on a stone driveway, this video focuses on two specific techniques: using a box blade with scarifiers dropped one notch to break up packed ice, and tilting the front loader bucket forward to get edge tamers under ice rather than gliding over it. It's hands-on and practical, best suited to B2601 owners dealing with icy gravel driveways who want actual bucket and box-blade tactics.
An owner-operator channel run by someone who uses a Kubota B2601 on a 33-acre New Jersey farm; note the end-card discount code for edge tamers suggests a promotional relationship with that product's manufacturer.
Drop the box blade scarifiers down just a notch, not all the way, and go back and forth or in a zigzag pattern to break up packed ice and expose the stone underneath.
Tilt the bucket forward about 40 degrees so the edge tamers go flatter instead of angled up, letting them get under packed snow and ice, then put it in float and curl back to scoop it up.
The transcript explains that keeping the bucket level keeps edge tamers from digging in, but tilting it forward lets the edge tamers get under packed snow and ice to break it up.
