You could try to "Grade" it with Your 3-pt blade but will probably make the road rougher. What You really need to maintain a crushed rock road is a leveling drag. The Township Road commission I used to work for summers when I was in college had one. It had 4-5 pairs of heavy steel scrapers angled back & forth to throw loose material towards the center of the road then back to the edges and then side-to-side. The machine was about 20-25 feet long. By driving down the center of the road You took the top off the center crown and threw material towards the edge of the road. With the small amount of rainfall You get I would try to keep the road as flat as possible, maybe only 2-3" of fall from the center to the edge of the crushed rock. And the others are correct, You need quite a bit of clay or fines in the crushed rock to make it pack down hard. If You don't have that the rock will never settle.
