Re: Road maintenance - Tuffline v. Grademaster v. Roadboss
Does anyone sell a grader blade that offers scarifiers (for those big potholes), serrated cutting edges (like the RoadBoss), and adjustable heights for the cutting edges? So far I haven't seen all three of these items in one unit.

Re: Road maintenance - Tuffline v. Grademaster v. Roadboss
Go with the Roadboss, proven performer, the City of Ames, IA uses this in thier alleyways instead of using a $200,000 maintainer, the blades will last longer than competotors too.

I might be wrong about this, but I think that you will find that the graders that have the scarifiers are lighter in weight and have the scarifiers to try and make up the difference in performance. Just my observations, yours may vary.

Re: Road maintenance - Tuffline v. Grademaster v. Roadboss
Pretty much every one looks like the same design - only meaningful difference seems to be weight, and length of skids. I'd think longer would be better, and Mtn Views are the longest. Harder to pull of course.
He's got a couple which would be great for someone on the west coast.

Does this mean that they will not work on the east coast?   I think that I can get mine just about anywhere in the states for the same or less cost than a Road Boss. I will even paint to match your tractor. Now of course I am pretty sure that I would be able to get it to a new home on the west coast a lot more reasonable. Oh, by the way, thanks for the plug.

You know - just like everything in Australia is upside down, everything is sideways on this coast
