I'm considering getting a land leveler similar to the unit sold by everything attachments for maintaining our clay road. Almost all the posts relating to land levelers seem to mention gravel roads and I was wondering if anyone uses them to maintain clay roads. I realize the concepts are the same, but I'm just curious if they perform as well on straight clay as they do on a mixed road with sand and aggregate?
The road I'll be working on is about a mile of mostly well packed clay with some areas of sand clay mix. The big issue we have is small potholes and wash outs that form due to heavy rainfall. We also get some wash boarding in the dry season in the sandy areas but that is generally easy to fix with a homemade drag we pull behind a truck. I'm currently using a small road maintainer with a 9 foot belly blade to take care of it, but I'd like something simpler I can just throw on my tractor and leave that requires no maintenance.
