[Rhodes22-list] Speaking of weather.

[Lowe, Rob]

Rummy,
Yeah, 220 feet is a challenge.  I've got a small 16hp Yanmar tractor
that should be able to handle it.  It's bigger than my riding mower but
still not big enough for any serious land disturbance.  I rented a 60hp
tractor from a buddy of mine and regarded and dug out ditchlines a
couple of weeks ago.  The powergrader might be what I need to maintain
it now. - rob

Rob,
 
Go to their web site and order the DVD. It will explain everything. I
found 
 I was looking for other driveways to do. The more I did it the better I

became  at it. 220 feet is quite a rise. It will take quite a few horses
to 
drag the DR  powergrader behind it. I found going uphill almost
impossible 
with my John Deere  X500. It's the smallest tractor they make, but it
suits my 
needs  perfectly.

Rummy,
Might give it a try.  My driveway is twice yours,  (1/4 mile and rises
220 
in elevation).  Just spent a week regrading with  a rented tractor (mine

didn't have enough ass).  thanks for the tip. -  rob

Today was to be the day that Rum  Runner gets her coat of paint.  
Unfortunately mother nature didn't  cooperate. With humidity levels in
the 
mid  80's it 
was not a good  day to paint. Hopefully we will dry out and cool off a  
little for a  day or more so that the deed can be accomplished. I was 
hoping to  
be  able to post a photo of the new hull, but you all will have to wait
a  
little  longer.
In case anyone on the list has a gravel driveway  that's as long as mine

(600 feet) you might be interested to know  that the DR Power Grater
really 
 
works. I spent two hours today  dragging the thing behind the John Deere

and 
the  driveway looks  superb. A load of gravel to top it off and I'll be 
good 
for quite  a  while. I was reluctant to spend the money on it, but I 
couldn't 
find a  single  negative comment anywhere and now I know why. The darn 
thing  
works as  advertised. Our driveway was a real nightmare before today.
Now 
it's user  friendly.

Rummy
