During my construction process, I had to drop three loads of 3" limestone gravel on an 1100' drive to help the trucks get in and out. Now that that's over and I have my permanent drive in, I have a need to pick up that gravel and allow it to go back to being the corn field that it started out being. Any ideas on the tools I could use for this job? I was thinking about using my tiller after a rain and at slow RPM to dig up the gravel (it's gotten compacted in a lot of places) and then going over it with the Landpride Powered Rake (it's an older unit with the splined shaft) to windrow the rocks to one side. Would this work or would I damage my tiller or rake? Then again, maybe this is what these tools are (or reasonably could be) for?
The challenge then would be picking up the rock, but perhaps keeping the bucket in a float position would pick them all up. Thoughts? Outside of these tools, I own a rear blade, but I can't see that helping.
