4 high 25 mph wow, move along good, nice job on the Driveway County will have you out there this winter plowing snow. Thanks for sharing Andy Take Care👍🏻

It feels faster since the brakes aren't that great. Have a good one 👍

Looking at maybe buying one to grade our private road. Does it do well on hard pack gravel? I’ve got about a half mile by 10 feet wide. Currently use a tractor with a land grader which does great, but it’s slow because there’s no down pressure and you have to work your way down below the potholes.

Use military tires theyre cheap and you can cut em for more grip. I bought 4, 9-20ndts for about 80$

Where do you find them?

Do you wish she was bigger? There one coming up on auction this month. I’ve never ran a grader but I have an AC HD6. What apeals to me about the D is that I can haul it myself. However I’m wondering if it has enough mass to plow snow and regrade driveways. There’s also a cat 12 that ways 15 tons… but I can’t haul that and it might be way over kill for what I need… however I’ve never wished anything was smaller but the contrary…price will probably be a big factor… anyways interested in your input Thanks!ps what do you think would be a fair price for one similar to yours

[@AndyFromm]

I personally don't think it would do that well with snow but I could be wrong. It has a pretty large turn radius. It seems to do pretty good regrading. I can make it spin out if it's hard or pushing alot of material. I do like that it's small enough to haul easily. If I remember correctly, I gave around $6k. Good luck 👍
