here's what I am starting with today. some ruts 8" deep. the scars are approx 50ft long by 14ft wide total.Yep, same here. While the long range forecast does not show anything, it's always possible in march to get a storm that brings as much as 4 feet of snow in march. March here is generally the month that brings the most snow, not always, but it's usually a good bet.
now, after 8 min looks like this. for perspective I am (measured) 58 feet from grader blade on tractor.
using this. you can see I have the blade set at a VERY non-aggressive posture. my top link drawn all the way in and my 2 side links set normal, but since both my side links adjustable I have a crap load of options. I could push both side links longer and make that blade run almost flat across the ground. I don't as that would be a good photo but a crappy use of fuel
thats the benefit of adjustable side links on both sides, I could make the first 3 ft of that 7ft blade ride a LOT lower than other side if needed.
anyways, sun hitting stuff and wind drying it and around 1500 today all scars removed and 550lb roller involved.
all this damage happened on ONE day. due to being in 4WD had to jockey truck twice (thats why 3 sets of tracks) to give clearance to back out to road and not hit wifes car.
