Box Blade and Weeds in Gravel

   / Box Blade and Weeds in Gravel #33  
I have a rear blade, a box blade, and a scraper-grader. You may have the skills to use the box blade well; I find that not having top-n-tilt makes mine a challenge to use effectively. The scraper-grader, on the other hand, is idiot proof. You just drop the thing and drive.

Its like its 1950's environmental practices all over again.

Just stirring the pot :).

OTOH, spraying oil onto dirt roads to keep down dust was common practice around here maybe 30 years ago, if not less, and might very well still be in some places. Considering the hundreds of thousands of gallons spread by every town, how bad could it be....

There is a big difference between the heavy oils used for say tar and chip vs light oils like motor oil, kerosene, varsol and others that've seen used by non-municipal users to keep the dust down on private roads.
