Hey List,
Well today is the madien voyage at road grading on my tractor. I've got a private road that 4 of us live on.. it's only about s1/4mile long, but has flat area at the top .. a Hill (about 6-7 foot elevation loss over 40 feet) .. and then a flat area at the bottom. Hill is almost exactly in the middle. I'm using an 8foot tilting / offsetable blade. I was planning on making a nice drainage ditch about 1-2 foot deep along one side using the tilt, and then working on the crown.. I can't do a ditch on both sides b/c one neighbor does not have a culvurt (I see another TRACTOR project)..
Any words of wisdom before I undertake this?
Carry on,
Phill
PS: I grew up on farm, so tons of time on tractor's, but only in the fields.. this is first attpempt at tractor on road.. sounds funny even saying it to me!
