Many years ago I had one that I converted to pull with a tractor. Handy enough for light duty grading tasks but with the blade angled it would pull to the side hard anytime it started to fill up with gravel or dirt. I maintain my road nowadays with a skid steer and land plane/grader. It does not crown the road, but since none of my roads are on the level, water runs off anyway.

I have been curious about the grader style skid steer attachments but I expect it would suffer the same problem of pulling to the side. I know even my small dozers with the blade angled had a hard time avoiding drift.

Ya, I agree. Small machine with side loads. I see in the photos crude weights had been added. This machine is located 2.5 hours from us.

I have a mile long gravel driveway. I would LOVE to get one of those pull graders. My HD Rhino rear blade tries to be a grader. It DEFINITELY is NOT. I use my heavy LPGS to keep things smooth. But all I can do with the LPGS is smooth the "whoops" and the "doos".

When I had my driveway constructed in '82 - folks would brag about how fast they could go and all the dust they could create on my driveway.

Then is when I decided to leave the woopde - doos and slow them down.

The surface of my driveway is a mix of - gravel, sand, silt and volcanic ash. In the summer its as hard as thirty year old concrete. Right down the section line - straight as an arrow.
