Overview
This is a hands-on gravel-driveway restoration using a 2025R paired with the heavier ABI TR3 (not the TR3E shown in earlier videos), reclaiming overgrown parking areas with the scarifier, profile blade, and rake attachments. The creator walks through real setup issues (hydraulic top link install, quick-hitch incompatibility, shallow scarifying depth due to buried phone lines) and shows actual results pass-by-pass. Best for owners comparing TR3 vs TR3E performance on grading work.
An owner-operator documenting ongoing DIY driveway maintenance on their own property with the ABI TR3 and TR3E attachments.
