It is crazy to me see a dirt road with no drainage ditch. The rural areas in my areas every dirt road I have been on had drainage ditches.

This looks like a private road to me, I’ve seen quite a few that don’t have drainage ditches. Cutting a road through a forest is easier if you don’t build ditches which can add a lot of time,cost and difficulty. Especially if it was done decades ago.

@@jcar1417 On the family farm we had drainage ditches otherwise the road would be a soupy mess and you would get stuck and huge ruts would form. That time and cost will save you more time since you wouldn't have to go snail pace over nasty ruts, and wait for someone to pull you out if you are stuck when muddy, or just be stuck at home when the road is so muddy you would get stuck.

Extremely interesting. If somehow you could convert or add that to a construction road roller machine you could have the compaction done at the same time. What a brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for caring.

You've got a lot of organic material in there. Nice attachment. Wonder how a Harley rake would have done by comparison.

This tool is great for a home owner or small driveway. For the amount of lane miles most municipalities have to maintain there is no way this machine would make the cut. Motor graders are far superior for production and versatility in this type of work.

Its been a awhile since I grade that road and she is holding up great.

"I grew up going backwards". Yep Stan...this explains you entirely 😅. Seriously this seems like a must have attachment for anyone with a skid steer and does grading work. Seems very well built. Didn't you do a video on this or something similar in the past? I seem to remember you grading the same road in similar manner.

liked the power auger grader you had and seen on jobs. may not want organic in road way but at least it removes pot holes. sometimes a angled 3point scraper blade gives the pitch needed. my dirt driveway since its mixed stone and sand i just rototill and run the 3point or snowplow to level then water and plate compactor

Does this implement require a lot of hydraulic pressure? It looks like a great attachment for a tractor, but I’m not sure my 3rd function would provide enough flow if it’s rated for skid steers?

Cool! Like the product, but I think the 6 way dozer blade with grader attachment may be slightly better as it can wind row snow better ( in my assumption judgment)

Once you make your adjustments and start your run, don't mess with the adjustments. Because you'll end up with dips and irregularities in the surface.

Very nice

Problem with pot holes is during winter water will freeze then expand(melt) freeze then expand(melt) so you're spot on about needing to get the water to "run off" (not pool) as the alternative is for it to "settle" and during winter effectively (quite "effectively" in point of fact) break up the compaction of your roadway but of course this be Wisconsin so you have very good soil type out that way as well which enhances this condition. For Pure Perfection still hard to beat even an Old Timey Road Grader as i don't really know of any modern compact designs for such a machine so interesting Jerry Rig using this but in the end the only true solution is to literally dig up every hole and everything around said hole, refill and compact to the maximum extent possible ("patch" in the jargon?)

This would be unreal if they built the twin blades to angle left or right (not just fixed to the left) by adding one hydraulic ram to one side of the exterior of the boxing. The debris bunches up always higher on the left & can see you sometimes need to get rid of the debris on the right side of roads/driveways 🤙

Bob Cat make a actual grader attachment for a skid steer. It has a turn tab like a grader and lift cylinders on both sides just like a grader. I seen a paving company use that..

@@jeremyjones8872 They replicated a real grader. The wheels are further away from skid steer to give you a better grade plus it pulls it's blade not pushing it.. Their is a good reason why a grader pull it blade. You have way more control. When you push the blade you can cause a wash board affect like a bulldozer does What they are using here you can do the same with box scraper... To me that is expensive junk. Plus crowns in a driveway or road is set at 3%.you would see that crown easy not like what they say in this video.. Grader attachments like the BobCat one works very good. Almost as good as a real mini grader
