Ok. Hmm. Sounds like this is a problem everyone has...without any great solutions. I can't do the public road deal. At my place specifically, my shop is surrounded by road base/pea gravel. If I drive over that pea gravel, my tires turn into giant sprinkled donuts. If I pressure wash, there's enough mud washed off to start a small garden...which is exactly what happens in the spring. I'm not talking about a small amount of dirt...inches all the way around the tires/tracks, adds up, and is now mixed into the pea gravel on top of the road base and I've got weeds.
Gonna have to noodle on this some more. I've sketched some mechanical type scrapers out in my brain, but I worry with my ability to break stuff with the tractor that I'd tear up a tire. Something that you drive over before reaching the shop proper would be better, maybe some long "tracks" with angle iron in an inverted V...like a trailer ramp, but more closely spaced...dunno if it would work.
