I was wondering if anyone here built a drag/grader for their driveway.  I know that RedneckComputerGeak (MaineMudMower on here) made one.  I also saw that fearless was thinking about making one.  If you have any pictures they would be greatly appreciated as I am considering making one for the trails and such that I ride on.

What exactly do you expect it to do? Maybe we can all pitch in ideas to make one, just need to know about terrains, like mud, water, rocks, soil, small plants, etc.

What I will use it for would be mostly rutted out dirt trails and driveways.
So, rocks soil/dirt.  Possibly a little mud or water, but nothing much.  Might use it to prepare gardens and stuff of that nature too.

a simple drag box with a hardened steel blade at the front, and a spreader/leveler at the rear would work best for this... I'll try to get you a drawing made up
