central - east central Minnesota -

finch - 4/3/2011 10:09 Was wondering if anybody has any experiance with the small pull behind graders for four wheelers and lawnmowers. Especially the DR power grader. WWW.drpowergrader.com Was wondering if they do any thing as far as leveling the driveway or yards out, or if they are a waste or money. Just looking for something handy but usefull to get around the yard with. thanks in advance

I have a differening opinion - Marc's (agboy) is a nice toy and a guy could build one pretty cheaply - vs. buying, but - - -   they simply are not wide enough or heavy enough to acturally grade (except during spring thaw cycles). A guy needs width to keep the surface even across the plane.
A grader / scraper / bucket on a skidsteer or a heavy box blade / scraper blade on a tractor 3pt would do a better job cutting and rolling/mixing material and filling holes. It is important to set up the blade with guide wheels to keep the blade at depth . . . . . .   that my 2 ¢
