On my gauge wheels, the only adjustment needed is via the 3 point top link. With the blade facing forward, extending the toplink will put more weight on your gauge wheels creating less of a dig effect on your blade. Retracting the toplink will put more weight on the blade rather than the wheels making more of a dig effect. In reverse, it is just the opposite. First, you lock the wheel pivots so the wheels wont skid on the gravel creating ruts. Extending the toplink will put more pressure on the blade giving it a harder drag effect. Retracting the toplink will put more weight on the gauge wheels making less of a drag effect. This simple design makes the whole tilt based on the toplink on the tractor so if you had a hydraulic top link, you could completly adjust the whole blade via a 2 way hydraulic control valve. The only time you would have to leave the seat is to angle your blade left or right.

... for a limerock road in N Central Florida. This road tends to get little depressions, from where tires hit water & spray the water out off the road, & is "wavy" from where the limerock delivery man didn't spread the limerock as he drove, he just dumped it in small piles, & it was never graded out smoothly. Currently I think the guy that grades the road just lets his box blade float along the road, which slightly improves it each time, but leaves a lot to be desired.

Best I can determine it would be a rear grading blade with hydraulic tilt, offset & angle functions, with a hydraulic gauge wheel, such as Land Pride's RBT3584 (7') or RBT3596 (8').

What do you think?

Slip your county road grader guy a couple of twenties, he'll have the problem solved in tweny minutes.
