My BEFCO grading scraper came with the blades adjustable from even with the runners to about an inch or so below them. Once I broke up the gravel the runners would sink down a ways into the loose stuff so when I would try to make a final pass the blades would dig up the loose gravel. What I did was drill new holes so now the blades can be adjusted from about a 1/2" below the runners to about an inch above them. For the final pass I raise the blades up about a 1/2" above the runners so when the runners sink into the loose gravel the blades stay close to even. This gives me a nice smooth finish (other than the marks the runners make). I still use the the bucket in reverse to pack it down. If I was to make some thing I think it would be to find a section of thick wall steel pipe that I could turn into a SSQA roller. That way for the last pass I could use it instead of the bucket and drive forward.
