Landscape Rake to get gravel back onto road?

[Kubota Dave]

Would a Landscape Rake be the best to move gravel back onto the road? My gravel always ends up on the road edges.

They work pretty good for that. Bette than a rear blade for that purpose in my opinion.

I have tired the rear blade but it just tears up the road crown.

Tilt the blade to match your crown.

All I use on my driveway is a landscape rake.

I have every other tooth removed on my landscape rake. Angled it works really well for moving stone back into the road.

How do you accomplish this? I have the same problem, my gravel always rolls and accumulates on the edges of the road. But I haven't yet found a good way to drive along and move all that gravel back to the center. A blade makes it worse because half goes to the middle of the road and the other half goes out farther into the grass. Angling the blade doesn't cure the issue. Also, straddling the edge of the road with the tractor just causes the blade to dig in and ruin the edge of the road.

Somebody needs to make an attachment with a brush or roller that is offset from the tractor and will just sweep the gravel back onto the road as you drive right down the center.

Angle the landscape rake and pull the gravel back onto the road some with each pass.

I use my rear scraper blade for this. Maximum angle, and tilted aggressively down and forward using the top link. Some does spill to the outside, but very little.
