DR Grader

[dhawken]

Another way of saying washboarding, ripples, whoopie-doos, waves, or ridges (^-^-^-^-^-^). At least that is how I take it.

I took the blade up and down a few times - made a bunch of washboard, so i figured that might be it! So the blade didn't work too good. Do i need a box blade or is there something I can do with a scraper?

Kinda glad I did not go with the DR blade. The price is more than a scraper AND box blade and I too am not sure how it will perform being towed like that.

thanks

Sometimes trying to correct for ripples with the lift lever will end up causing more. I'd suggest you try to lower your blade until it just digs in slightly and go in reverse to correct minor washboarding. That way, the blade cuts the dirt and makes it smooth before the tractor goes over it. Good luck.

Good idea - i'll try that. I've been going up and down a few more times and it appears to be getting a tiny bit better. The road is very hard packed, so the amount the blade digs is not great at the moment.
