Grading Gravel Driveways

[gordon]

Can't interest you in one of Gordon's homemade hokie rigs? Well if I can't the next best thing is the link for the mac daddy---its http://www.roadboss.com I hope this helps. It takes a minute to load but it has some neat music too.

Ok, it's the RoadBoss. I've looked at the brochures for that one and it really looks slick. I'd really love to see one in action. The Grademaster seems like the same thing, but a lot cheaper. I'll know when I get the brochure.

Interesting stuff. Anyone know approximate prices on these??

Gordon,

I am having a bit of trouble imagining what your setup looks like. I have 800' of driveway to maintain. Right now its dried hardpan clay mud mixed with #2 crushed, with a base of rip rap 4" below that. The hardpan/gravel surface is rutted, has depressions where the tires travel, and has washboard bumps intermittently. I am skeptical that just an angle iron and some chain link will dig into this very hard surface without scarifiers of some sort. Could you post a picture of your setup?

Thank you very much for the plug. I work for Grademaster Bladed of Texas, and this afternoon, we received a telephone call from a gentleman in New York because he saw your posting. If you give me a call at 1-800-299-8582, or email me at tbsthumb@email.com with your address, I can send you a brochure and a price list for the complete line. I can also give you a number to get hold of my boss(F.W. Lynch, the owner of Grademaster Blade of Texas) and he can give you all the information about the Blade that you need and probably some you don't need.

Thanks again for the plug. Rebecca Sherman
