grater blade

I would like to fabricate a short (4') or less grader blade for the back of my jeep to grade my 300' stone driveway. I have an extra lift tower and hydraulic cylinder to lift whatever I hang on the back, but I don't want to buy a 3 point hitch. I simply want to grade the stone to the middle to crown the road. It won't get a lot of use, and won't be transported on the road, and I want to keep the expenses down. I also have a 12 volt hydraulic pump of a lift-gate truck to drive the hydraulics. I would like the grader to sit within 3' of the back of the jeep.

Has anyone built something like this that they would be willing to share plans?

Thanks.

 

Re: grader blade

You might be able to get an old snow plow frame for very cheap, do something with that.

 

Re: grader blade

Sounds like you need a pull behind York rake sort of thing with wheels on it. They make them that are designed to be pulled behind a tractor drawbar, where you adjust the height with a lever on the York rake. You could do the same thing with a grader blade instead of tines.

or find an old pull behind grader....but most of those are display antiques nowadays.

 

Re: grader blade

google pull behind grader blade, lots of options.

 

Re: grader blade

I have a plow that came with my 71 that I will let go if you can use it? [/URL][/IMG]
