Pull Type Grader Box Blueprint || DIY Box Blade How-To Video Tutorial for dimensions and materials
This is a "video blueprint" for how to build your own "Pull Type Grader Box" or sometimes referred to as "box scrapers" or "box blades". This video will show you a close up of the grader box that we have built and I will discuss the dimensions of all the materials to be fabricated and provide recommendations on where to source the components needed to build your own grader box at home. DIY fabricators can use this video to guide them through the process of building a pull type box blade.
We no longer sell these grader boxes so I have made this video in an attempt to help someone that either wishes to do this on their own or possibly hire someone to do it for them.
Build credits:
Most of the fabrication work for many of these grader boxes was done by Larry Knapp. He and I built my grader box together.
