So there are two logistical points that have kept me from pursuing this option, and I have considered it more than once.
1. Turning around at the end of the driveway. I live on a fairly darn busy road and I would not be comfortable pulling into the road with a grader to spin around. Even doing this with my tractor is nerve wracking as loaded dump trucks come by at 60mph almost constantly. Where the driveway meets the road, is not really my property but a 20’ easement. Therefore, adding a gravel turn-around is not an option.
2. Since I got the skid steer, the tractor has only been used for driveway maintenance. I am having a hard time justifying owning it for that sole purpose. Most likely I will be selling it and condensing my equipment a bit. Again, adding a grader for that sole reason seems counterintuitive. Another piece of machinery to shed and maintain and repair. Might as well keep the tractor at that point, which is opposite my current plan.
