I use a box blade to spread gravel just for myself. Like the others have said you will get dips and washboard effect from it. The only way to eliminate it weather you use a box blade, rake, or back blade is wheels behind the implement. I have a 6ft rake with wheels about 2ft behind the rake. That levels like you can't believe. So first I use the box then when it's pretty close I go over it with the rake and wheels and it comes out great. If I had wheels for the box blade I'm sure it would do the same thing. I was even thinking of rigging up some kind of wheels behind the box. The longer the spacing between the wheels and the blade the better. Also the longer distance from the tractor wheels to the blade the better. My $.02
