Box Scraper

FAQs

1. Is a rear blade or box blade better for gravel driveways?

A box blade is typically better for spreading gravel evenly and reshaping low spots. Its side plates trap material for more efficient redistribution. A rear blade works well for snow removal, light grading, and ditching, but doesn’t carry material like a box scraper.

2. What maintenance is required on a box scraper?

To keep your box scraper in top shape:

• Inspect and tighten bolts regularly
• Sharpen or replace cutting edges and scarifier teeth
• Check for wear on the side shelf, chain, and hitch points
• Clean off built-up dirt or material after each use
  This helps your unit last longer and perform better on every job.

3. How much does a quality box scraper cost?

Box scraper prices vary by width, weight, and features. Lighter-duty models for small tractors may start around $800–$1,200, while heavy-duty or commercial units range from $1,500–$4,000+. Investing in a well-built model can save money on repair and give better long-term value.
