    Gravel driveways.. and potholes!!

    The rule of thumb I’ve always followed is this, for box blades and land planes you go 1 foot wider than your rear tire width. So a tractor 5 feet wide uses a 6 foot wide implement. With a rear blade, wider is better, especially if you’re going to rotate it any to help pull in material from the...

    Gravel driveways.. and potholes!!

    Woods, land pride, and rhino make good heavy units. It would help smooth out your track. In my experience box blades have more of a learning curve. They are better at moving material and the land plane IMO is better at smoothing and leveling. I use both. Between our farm and our house we have...

    Anyone ever use 16" pavers for a pole barn floor?

    While probably more expensive, I would think pier pads would hold up better to weight. I drove my truck over some step stones at my parents and it broke them right in two. Pier pads I have driven over and never an issue. As mentioned above the base they’re set on will make a lot of difference.

    Pole barn vs stick built

    We’ve got a place around here that sells pole barn ‘kits’ you tell them the size you want and they get all the materials together including the concrete. I purchased a 24x36 last year for the wife and I to park under. And for the third bay to fill up with crap apparently. I have not walled it in...
