DR Powergrader

I am in need of a way to regroom the driveway gravel and areas behind my barn. I have grass and weeds coming up and I don't have any large equipment just a Cub Cadet Lawn tractor with a 23 HP motor.

Do any of you have experience with this unit?

Or what do you use to maintain the gravel areas on your property?

It gets FANTASTIC GAS MILEAGE. Sometimes makes a little mess to clean up but usually just grade it into the project. A/C doesn't work to good in summer but in winter its the best A/C I've ever had. I personally dont like the HORSE power but the better option I purchased was Mule power better power to weight ratio runs on less than optimal feed but MORE power and not as many medical service problems as the HORSE power model. Plow is detachable so one could add other options at additional cost as time and money allow. Picture of driveway that gets snow plowed everyday in winter with A/C on HIGH and during summer A/C on but not the same results so I only plow a couple of times a season.

We have a very long and wide gravel driveway ~(3000'X16'). We have a 3pt box scraper for the back of the tractor to take care of it. Usually we can basically level it off with the scraper and touch it up with the loader.



I don't have any experience with the DR Powergrader. But it looks like it works under the same idea.

Heavy duty load ramps from a trailer work well. My Sears garden tractor pulls them easy. If you go too fast you will cause ripples in the gravel tho, I use 5th. gear. 6th is too fast:-laf

Bought one used it once I'm impressed. Quality packaging, quality welds, and brought old rock back to the top. Even my wife was impressed. Worked as well as advertised. Manufactered in China. Must have good quality control.
