Re: Best attachment for road grading and landscaping
The Dura-Grader looks like it does a great job with minimal effort. Probably one or two passes and you have it. The one thing I do like about it is, it works the material towards the center of the road and minimizes lost material along the edge. Good results can be achieved with a landscape rake-front blade or landscape rake-FEL bucket, but it usually takes at least 4 passes to get it looking as good as the Dura-Grader. If you have a long road to maintain I'm sure the Dura-Grader would be the way to go.

Re: Best attachment for road grading and landscaping
I have a roadrunner, 7', which I bought because it was available with a hydraulically operated roller which acts both as "gauge wheels" and as a roller with the entire weight of the grader on it ... here is link to site w. pic showing roller.

The 7' with the roller is just at the limits of what my tractor can handle, but does a great job ...especially compacting crusher run
