Default Re: Road maintenance - Tuffline v. Grademaster v. Roadboss

We have been paying contractors to maintain the road with road graders and rollers twice a year. Does the Roadboss or Grademaster take care of potholes well?
1/2 mile of the over 2 miles of road that I maintain is shared with 4 other homes. The grader blade that I have is very similar to the Roadboss, just a bit longer and heaver. I usually grade the road 3-4 times a year. The road is decomposed granite with only a very slight crown to it. These graders work very well in removing wash boarding, filling potholes, all around maintenance of a dirt road. I would think that one could be purchased for what you might be paying to have your road graded by a contractor. Plus once you have the grader blade, the road can get graded when it needs to be graded, not just when everybody has chipped in to pay for it to get regraded. I highly recommend them, just be sure to get the right size and weight for your application.
