DR POWER GRADER - my review & pics

[379 Peterbilt]

After years of contemplating spending the coin for a new DR Power grader, I finaly broke down and purchased one. My driveway is about 1/8th mile long, and was pretty rough condition. This thing worked as advertised, I am impressed.

The pics don't do it justice, as the before pics do not show the potholes that well, and the after pics don't show how good it really looked upon completion.

I looked into one a few years back, and from what I learned, they do work, I just think that they get too much coin for what they are!

Impressive.....On a flat 1/4 -1/2 pea stone driveway. What about a "beach sand" driveway on a slight hill???

You must have hard packed sand with potholes? Yes, it should work easily. Probably would have to make all passes going downhill though, unless it's the slightest incline or if you have a big tractor.

They say you can grade dirt (like new lawns) with it, tho I havent yet tried it. I've little doubt or worries that it would work on any of these surfaces.
