Very happy with this product. Good value, easy to set up and it does a solid job of smoothing out both my gravel driveway and cleaning up a dirt path I am working on. I’ve been using two cement blocks to weigh it down and think I will go with three or even four, more to keep the grader stable and the blocks from sliding off than to dig in deeper.

Drag has worked well to level out mole tunnels on the lawn (let the battle begin). Driveway is next. Easy to assemble after placing parts out first . Few tips for others for assembly. One bolt without washer is for tongue attaching. Longer 4 bolts hold the interior cross members (ones that would hold concrete blocks) with the 2 spacers per bolt (prevents blocks from sliding off). I pre-drilled holes along these members to add in bungee cords as recommended by others. I hand tightened all bolts and once frame was assembled I then used wrenches to tighten the bolts tight.Product was shipped fast by this seller and wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

The product was used to groom a heavily-packed, pot-holed 300-foot laneway in June after a fairly heavy rain. It took about an hour because the packed gravel took several passes to loosen the gravel, as well as to remove a layer of soil on the outside edges. (I don't think it would have worked on a dry heavily-packed lane.) Once finished, the laneway was the best it has been in 10 years. The device was used few days ago after a very heavy rainfall had caused a large puddle at a low point on the lane. There was turf blocking the water from running off. Once removed, the water ran off and the puddle dried up quickly. This second use of the grader further improved the overall quality of our lane. There are no more pot-holes and our vehicles ride smoothly over the rejuvenated lane. One note: if the tractor loses traction, the grader has probably accumulated too much material. Just remove one or more blocks from the device and the tractor should be able to move again.. It is also better to finish grading with only one or no blocks on the device so that it smooths the surface without digging into the loosened lane.

Used it to level 2 acres of neglected field in California. Rotor tilled the field first to get the top 3 inches broken up, let it dry a few days and then used this rake with 4 concrete blocks to level the area. I pulled out with a 700cc Honda side by side and it definitely made it work hard but it pulled it fine, I then seeded with a broadcast spreader and then rolled using a garden tractor and roller. End result is an area that is smooth and compact enough to lay sod if I wanted to. I'm very pleased with the simplicity and strength of the rake. It is really good value.

Unit arrived fast , as per other reviews the end of the box was broken open some nuts and bolts missing. The drag worked very good behind my cub cadet 19 hp on my hard packed gravel drive way. Unit worked so well that my friend wanted to try it, and he liked it too.

Received promptly. Packaging was poor. The box was torn, a side bar was missing, the other was laying on top of the box at the post office. Plastic hardware bag was opened, 2 bolts and 3 nuts were missing.Assembly was straight forward, pictures too small and worthless.Had to resolder one of the 2 tabs that hold the pulling arm. All and all, disappointed with quality control. I was able to fix everything, a few trips to hardware store, 25$ worth of metal and ss bolts. But not everyone will go through all that trouble.In use: good design, works well with 2 cement blocks, will add one more when driveway is hard packed.

Upon arrived, I did a piece count check and thought I had all the pieces. A short connector piece on the outside was missing... I had thought the two outside pieces were stuck together because their is a paint seam down each side. I had the whole thing almost completely together before I realized my mistake. I decided to fabricate a new piece with some old steal I had so I could get going. Due to the inexpensiveness of this product compared to others that do this same work, I was surprised how well this worked. I also did have to rig up a way to hold a couple cement blocks on, they tended to bounce off on my rocky driveway. It would be nice to get the right part or compensation, but it was far too late putting this together when I realized the piece was missing.

We recently purchased a new home that has a gravel driveway. My son wanted to get some new gravel in the garage driveway and circular driveway in the front as the old stuff was getting thin. He came with the load and we spent 2 hours trying to spread it by hand which was a big mistake. Although we tried different dump patterns with the 4 yards of stone, there was always too much here, not enough there and it took a bit of work to move it around with a gravel rake.I went on the web and found this along with an example of how it was used and ordered it. My son actually laughed at me thinking I was being taken for a ride by some "gimmick". Well, we got the package in, put it together (quickly) and attached it to our riding lawn mower. In about 1/2 hour that tool did more than we did in 2 hours and did it more uniformly and with ease. My son was shocked and I was very satisfied. If you have gravel or dirt you want spread evenly throughout your yard, this will make you very happy.As you can see, I have two pictures here and you can see the "channel" that lies in the middle that is made for 16" bricks. You can use none, 1 or more, each providing strength to move denser material. With the pea gravel I didn't need to use any, but did try one and made a difference in how it was spread with the brick in the front or the rear.Hope this helps - but I couldn't wait to let others know the "easy" way to take care of moving dirt/stone evenly.

We have lived on a gravel mountain road for 5 years. Our home has a turnaround in front that gets the gravel pushed to the sides from winter plowing. Then the freeze thaw results in mud ruts. We were in desperate need of some road maintenance. The assembly instructions aren't very good. Some of the spacers included were the wrong size. I made it work anyway. I hitched this to a Polaris Ranger and added three cinder blocks and strapped them down. I was pleasantly surprised how well this worked on some hard packed clay. It took many turns around the turnaround to get the gravel loosened and evenly spread, but I'm very happy with the results. Will get some pics when the sun comes back up. -1 star for parts issue.

So simple really but does so much! Easy to assemble with basic tools. I've got a sloped gravel driveway so wasn't sure how things would go. The gravel likes to migrate to the bottom of the driveway. Attached this to my lawn tractor and added two cinder blocks and after five minutes of work the driveway looked fantastic. This tool saved me an hour of hand raking labour. And it'll last forever cause it's all metal. No flimsy parts to break. If something ever does break on it, super easy to weld it back up. Very impressed with this. Highly recommended.
