What attachment do I need?

[MeBuyIt]

I have a 500 foot long gravel driveway (packed down). Due to the slope of the driveway a hard rain will cut grooves and divots.
What 3-point attachment do I use to flatten(groom) my driveway back into shape? In addition: I would need to use this attachment
early in the spring so it has time to pack down before winter since I use a snowblower (no flying rocks).

I think mikester is directly responding to the fact that you have NO TRACTOR listed.

I assume you have some type of tractor. SO..... I would suggest either of these two implements.

Land Plane Grading Scraper( LPGS ). Easy to use - little to no required learning curve - but it really won't crown nor do the driveway ditches nor plow snow.

Rear blade. Easy to operate - but it DOES have a significant learning curve to get good results. Can be used for many other projects - including snow and driveway ditches.

Box blade is useful to return the gravel back up the hill to where it came from while filling holes and grooves.

Land Plane is a magical attachment for driveway refurbishing and maintenance!

Lots of discussion on the subject, here in the EA Channel Group.

All you need is a rear blade, no fancy hydraulics, and a willingness to learn how to use it. See the results on my steep quarter mile gravel driveway here: Grading an "Interesting" Driveway

I have never used a land plane, so it may be better. A rear blade is better for snow removal but a box blade is better for anything else.

A picture of the drive & the make and model of the tractor would help us give more specific answers.

If you have ditches, I recommend a rear blade. Offset can be a nice feature too. We have a 1/4 mile street (non county maintained) so we do it.

Off set rear blade may come in handy.
