Hi!
Does someone know how to build a simple grader that we can pull behind a tractor. I saw one, long time ago but I dont remember how it was built, where the steel beams were attached, what was the blades angle, how were the blades arranged to let the gravel flow from one side to the other, filling holes on the road width.
If someone have a shetch or a picture. The one I saw was used on a farm road.
Thank you.

I've never seen one in person, but I remember reading in an OLD farm book of a V shaped implement made of timbers for gravel roads.The V pointed to the rear with a gap instead of the point, the base of the V was a little wider than the road. The idea was to scrape the loose gravel and soil back onto the road, with the excess deposited on the center of the road through the gap.Mention was made that you could use angle iron on the timbers for better cutting and longevity of the device. Hope this gives you some ideas.

I think your right george. We used the drag type like he's talking about. They are'nt easy to keep adjusted on gravel work, and it takes a pretty high hoss power tractor to pull much gravel with it.
They work pretty good in the fields putting up shallow dike walls for rice or to direct water movement for irrigation.

If he'll put 2 rows of timbers with bolts or rebar rods sticking through the front timbers about 2-3" down to tear up the gravel then the 2nd timber smoothes and levels back to road center, this does better than the pull behind grader.

The best thing I've found to smooth driveways and feild roads is a piece of chain link fence.
Attach a timber at top and bottom of a 10' piece of chain link and start pulling it back and forth on the drive. It will smooth the drive up like a paved road in a couple of trips, and is a no maintenance and cheap piece of handy equipment.

A friend of mine uses a piece of chain link hung from a small I beam that works ok. I use a flexible link reversable harrow that works real good and I also use it to cover pasture seedings.
That V grader I mentioned was found in an old reprint of farm implements, mostly homemade.It was so old that they recommended scrounging steel from old barrel hoops when you needed metal fittings.Those were the REAL good ol days!

A neighor uses an old piece of barn gutter grate. By adjusting the length of the pulling chain left and right he can direct the shift of gravel to the desired side. Seems to work good for him. Pulls it with a 4x truck or a large lawn tractor 20+
