dragging my driveway

[Blstr88]

I have a 1200' gravel driveway and a DR powergrader has worked wonders for me.

I find because Im towing it and its not physically attached to the tractors 3-point hitch it can float on the gravel better and do its thing without being affected by the tractors bouncing. I did away with the battery that comes with the DR grader and just connect it to my tractor battery when in use. The controller allows you to raise it up/down with ease for when you're traveling to/from or turning around etc.

I tried a landscape rake too, never had much luck. The DR grader works wonders for me.

I have an uphill section in my driveway too and I can grade going up or down no problem. Dependng how much material its digging up/pulling I may use Low gear going up, but otherwise it grades equally well in either direction.

My driveway is about 1300 feet. Use a Woods 6 foot grader blade with fantastic results.

After building a few from wood over the years and to pull behind the 4 wheeler, wanted something adjustable and made from steel, besides, I'd rather be on my Kubota than on my knees in the shop; oh to be young again.

Ok, my new Land Pride scraper arrived today so plans are getting it connected and run it! Heavy bugger too so called my Son for some assistance if he has the time...Once having Pat's QH installed this should be easier. Scraper Blades are set flush so want to try that setting first after tightening all the bolts. Picture soon.
