Gents,
New member here. I bought a house with a 1500 foot gravel driveway and two parking areas. I bought the previous owner's tractor Kubota L3130. The drive was in bad shape, I hired a pro to get it in good shape and paid a lot. I want to maintain it, which will mean fixing potholes, maintianing/creating the crown, and pulling gravel back to drive after the snowplow has pushed it on grass. I have a box blade, and a landscape rake. Here is my question, do people think I am better off getting a back blade or a "land plane/ grading scraper"? The sraper looks cool and easy to use, but it is a one trick pony. If you have a box blade , and rear blade, and landscape rake, is there anything you can't do on a gravel drvie that a scraper couild? I see the main function of the scrpar to "rejuvenate" the gravel, which I believe can be done with the rippers on the box blade and then the rake (to "stir it up") almost as effectively.
What do people think?
Thanks
Rich
