One of the first things the "old timers" say when you ask a question is "check old threads; this has been discussed". That's why I laugh.

I'm following up on this because I now have a long gravel driveway to maintain. I have a BB and was thinking of getting a grading blade. The man at the store said he uses a drag harrow to dress his long gravel driveway (and he wasn't trying to sell me one, just conversation). So I'm investigating.

The box blade would be good for moving and distributing grave or a total reno but I'm looking for something to use on a regular basis to keep it smooth.

I use this to establish the crown:

And this to maintain the road & crown:

On those areas where I have a hill or prolonged incline, I dig out a swale so the water has a place to go,, and doesn't keep picking up velocity as it runs down the hill. Made a huge difference.
