I knew you would like that Richard.

It's about everything my tractor wants though.

I need to do a little more crown work but after 4 and a half hours on the tractor in the 39* 10mph winds I'm officially done for the day. Blade works real nice but it's almost more than my tractor can handle without a goodly bit of front weight. All the steering was done using the brakes on the turn around.
From house end

From road end

Middle looking both ways

Oh Yeah!!!!! Now drive on that for a couple weeks. Never drive in the same track. Then decide if you need more gravel.

Congratulations on a very nice job of rejuvenating a roadway!!!!! :thumbsup:

I want to say I never really disturbed the road bed itself, I took Richards advice and went super slow with my adjustments till I gradually knocked that center down then I angled the blade and pulled the edges back to the center. I want to work the ditches/edges a little more yet just to clean the ditches out some more and get more crown.
