Road maintainer for trails?

[17 Oaks]

Freight costs used to be negotiable with ABI...

They offered me free freight on the Land Plane...

When I looked at that my first thought was he must have quite the tractor to pull it. Short sections of dozer track lying flat side by side would work.

I have zero rock so I guess I'll build a drag. That was my intention anyway. Thanks!

The problem with an ABI TR3 rake is the cost. For my tractor $5,000 with freight from Texas to Florida.

You could buy used...

I have a 7' Land Pride - LPGS and like all the others have said - works great on a gravel driveway - not so much on dirt trails. I built my dirt trails with my roll over box blade. I maintain them with my Rhino 950 - 8' rear blade(1000#) and a home made drag. The drag is a simple 5' by 5' square built with 4" x 4" timbers. I've installed large bolts thru the timbers spaced every six inches. So I can drag with the bolts down or bolts up.

Soil moisture content is fairly critical if you are looking for a nice, finished look. I get all my dirt trails groomed in the spring and then my son and his friends come out and tear them up with their dirt bikes. This year they got to straighten things up with standard old rigid lawn rakes - not near as much fun as tearing them up.
