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.  |
Thanks MtnViewRanch,
I noticed you have the hydraulic top link. Does your grader blade or tractor also have hydraulic side tilt? And if it does, are they really necessary, or nice to have? I think my neighborhood could save a fortune if I setup my tractor and purchase a grader implement. We average $2,000 per year in payments to contractors to grade and roll. I currently do not have any rear hydraulic remotes, but I could add them for approximately $2,500.
