Hello all! I’m new to modern tractors, and am getting ready to purchase a JD 3R series tractor from a dealer. I own 6 acres of recently cleared and stumped land, which I am going to turn into a home site / mini farm. The land was rough graded by a bulldozer, but is in need of fine grading and filling in a few low areas. I will also have a 250 foot driveway to maintain (with ditches), and possibly 1/3 mile of dirt road (if the county won’t do it in a timely manner). I’m hoping to purchase a few implements with my tractor purchase. I have access to an OLD HEAVY 6 foot 3 point scrape blade, but it’s pretty worn out and difficult to use. I’ve heard a lot of talk about box blades and recently learned about land planes. Which would yall recommend for my tasks at need? Thanks!

I use a ballast box with 32lb cement blocks from Home Depot. The blocks are very dense, don't chip, and I can move them if needed. PLUS, HD will deliver them to the house or farm for you. They cost $1.65 ea.., so less than $6 per 96lbs .
