any tricks for smoothing acreage for lawn?

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( DmansPadge, I just bought a 5' Grademaster, and it was easy. I checked with my tractor dealer to see if he was agreeable to accepting a delivery (he was), and sent his address to the Grademaster folks with my credit card info. Trucking the blade from Mississippi to Connecticut cost all of $150 (or was it $100?). I don't have much time on the Grademaster yet, but it made very short work of the ruts in my driveway.

Thanks Doug. On their website it says they only ship in Alabama? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Anyways... what did the unit itself cost if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks.

DmansPadge, I think that you found one of the dealer sites. Connecticut doesn't have a dealer, so I dealt directly with the manufacturer in Mississippi. Here is a list of dealers on his site:
Grademaster dealers , including a dealer in Texas. Price of the 5' blade plus shipping to Connecticut was (I think) $900. I believe that the blade itself was $800 Shipping took about a week, and the Grademaster folks handled the details.
Regards,
Doug
