Hey Brian,
Your road looks as smooth as a baby's butt!
Great job and thanks for sharing all those pictures showing how well your road grader works.

Rob, you need one of these for your place. My local dealer still has a couple the last time I looked. He sells them cheep, just wants to get rid of them after having them for so long. It's only a 120 mile drive for ya.

Hahaha, oh sure Brian, just tempt the heck out of me!
I'm still figuring out how to pay for all the crap I got already.

I had thought about buying one of the RoadRunner type graders to maintain about 3000 feet of crusher run slag road that I have to keep up in a housing development. I though it might cut down on the time that it takes to about once a month. I decided to just stick with doing it with my front blade and rake. It takes a little more time I'm sure, but I already had the blade and rake. The RoadRunner sure does a nice job though.

Sincerely, Dirt

I could bring one up to you in February.

Maybe it's just the photos, but your Before road looks better than most After roads we can maintain in our climate. A few washboards aren't too bad. Nice grader, though!

I would agree, the before pics don't look all that bad. I know that the people on the other side of the valley wish that their roads were that good.

I grade to get rid of the wash boarding, otherwise the road isn't all that bad. I know that the sheriff appreciates it and it is a lot easier on my brother in his semi. There are a few benefits to living in Southern California.
