I've got about 1200 ft of gravel drive that has nicely grown up with the strip of grass between the tire tracks that my wife is rather fond of. I had been maintaining it with a rear blade just fine but this year the grass strip has really grown so the rear blade won't work any more. My wife's instruction to keep the grass was easy argument for me to build a LPGS to maintain the tire tracks.
I'm going to do things a bit different than most. Rather than building one the width of the tractor, I'm building it the width of the tire tracks in the lane -- 3'
Scrap yard is only 5 min drive from my house with lots of pickings to build from.
I'd wanted to find some 12" channel for the sides but could only find 8" or 9" in decent lengths or a 20' of 12". The guys can be a pain if you want them to cut stuff they'd rather try to get you to take the whole thing. Managed to find a 10' length of 15" that would work better than the 9".
660lbs and $260 later I was on my way home
