Not a boat review but good

I have about 500ft of driveway. It is gravel the full length from the blacktop to the house. As Betty loves her landscaping I love a neat smooth drive. I used to have a small tractor with a box blade I kept it up with. It wore out many years ago and I have had to hire it done at $50.00 and hour. Hiring never did it exactly my way plus gravel would get into our grass. I briefly thought about another compact tractor but wore out ones are to much money for such a small need.

I ordered a D&R 48" Power Grader to use behind my lawn tractor. I was doubtful that it would work as advertised and for what it cost. Well I tell ya it works better that I could have imagined.

So if you like a nice drive and have a good lawn tractor it will work great.

Good testimony. Although my drveways are all cement I can appreciate the problem anyone with gravel would have. Glad it's working out for you Lloyd

Our little neighborhood association bought one because we have about a mile of gravel road. Some of it is steep and heavy rains tend to wash some of it out. The DR grader has done a decent job, considering its relative size. Not like a road grader, but for the price, not bad.

I bought one of their 7 ton electric log splitters a few years ago and love it. Not an single problem with it so far, and I split a hell of alot of firewood.

I wanted electric so I could use it inside my shed.

I have one of their big walk behind brush cutters and it's been fantastic too. I've heard from others how well the grader works for what it is. DR's engineers really do a good job designing tools for a homeowner to use to get a big job done.

Now if they could get the price down on their gasoline engined products.

They're kind'a pricey.
