    Best implement for maintaing a long gravel driveway

    What would be the best implement to hook up to the 3PH of a CUT to care for and maintain a fairly long gravel driveway??

    I saw something similar to a piece of chain link fence with some type of scarifiers attached.. any good??

    Box blade is probably too aggressive?? Rear blade??

    Any thoughts appreciated...

    A box blade would be my choice. You can always raise the scaifiers if you don't want to rip as much. A straight blade with wings would do much the same thing, a rake could work. I'd stay away from the drags. They won't have the weight to do much, usually those are reserved for topping off horse rings.

    I'll 2nd the vote on the box blade.  It's also handy for grading dirt as well as a counterweight for FEL work.
    When sizing, get one that's wider than the width of your back tires but not too much larger as they get pretty heavy.

    My second choice would be a york rake.

    Thanks gents!

     

    A box blade would probably come in handy anyway.......

    I have a long gravel drive and use a 6' rear blade.  I angle it to pull the gravel back onto the road then straighten to re-distribute.  Does quick work of the road.
