Raking gravel driveway

   / Raking gravel driveway #13  

A friend is ordering this or a similar set. However, we have to mod it for greater length to get the wheels back a bit further. We used my EA rake with EA wheels as a template:

Another supporter of a good rake with a set of wheels (and TNT). For most any type of work I typically set the wheels 1" higher than the tines with the rake and tractor sitting level and leave them there. I then adjust fore/aft angle using TNT to dig deeper if required, along with 3PH depth control. It does a great job with gravel or light digging/scraping.

I have a thousand foot driveway with limestone screenings. I generally use a Harley Rake, but find that it can make a washboard for whatever reason. Plus, I am always hard pressed to get rid of any remaining windrow.

I was at an auction last week (which I missed) and saw they had many Bannerman style ball field conditioners. A bunch of blades and brushes. Has anyone ever used one of these on a driveway?

OP: Crusher Run is what I use.

I also have a long driveway and an EA rake with wheels. An excellent way to maintain the gravel.

With gauge wheels?

Put the gauge wheels on a backblade and you'll have a tool that can work your road surface. The rake moves larger stones around and makes it look really good till traffic pounds the stones out of the hollows.
