Spreading gravel.

/ Spreading gravel. #41  
Like others I slowly dump from the FEL in reverse and back drag with the FEL almost level to flatten out the high spots and fill in the low spots, it works great. A few months later I drag the DR Grader over it to smooth it out again.
 
/ Spreading gravel. #42  
I spread about 20 tons of crushed rock last year and got fairly good at feathering the bucket dump while moving slowly in reverse. This allowed me to place a thin layer where needed.

Otherwise, I'd just dump the bucket a little faster and use a rear blade with gauge wheels to do the final leveling.
