I noticed that as well. What do you recommend for crowning that can be pulled behind a lawn tractor??

I have the pro 60 the way I bring to road center is I drag diagonally from outside to center slowly raising the blade as I get nearer to center this does 2 things creates the center crown and cuts the edges down so the water runs off properly, then I use it's width to span half a single cars driveway width However I also add more fresh gravel down the middle because my driveway is constantly slowly sinking (originally placed on blue clay and is only 18inches thick and was never packed) If I had the money I would dig out all 375ft of my driveway and redo it with 3/8minus to bedrock (7ft down) packing every 2 inches of deposited material. The harder it gets packed the more durable and pothole resistant the driveway becomes. The problems with the pro series is the electric linear actuator uses a brushed motor that the brush springs rust preventing brush contact with the motor core contacts... The other is the switch and wiring harness is far from watertight and corrodes easily... And the final flaw is the undersized battery that goes bad easily.

It has worked great on our driveway. It helps keep the weeds down without having to use chemicals. I have also found it does pretty well in the dirt putting a final grade on. I will be doing a video on that soon!

Agreed. Around here when it gets wet we don’t usually have enough dry days to get everything complete dried out.

We have loved our so far. We have about 1/4 mile of driveway. It takes a little longer than I thought it would because you can’t drive that fast (3mph seems to do well) and it takes several passes to get everything worked out.

Thank you! Once she saw what it could do she was asking why I didn’t get it sooner.

If I had more metal fabrication abilities I may have gone down that road. Good luck!

Agreed. If you go too fast it will just skip over the top of the gravel.

​​@@HardWorkWithMattmodification recommendations upgrade the battery from the lead acid to a lifepo4 minimum 20amp hr battery, take the linear actuator motor apart and coat the brush springs with an anti rust grease/dielectric grease, add a dielectric grease into all connectors to stop the electrical connector corrosion... And for weights use pvc pipes capped and filled with concrete or sand as using concrete blocks will wear through the finish fairly fast... Mine is going on 8yrs and these are the failures I have had... My wiring got so bad it had to be replaced and the switch box isn't water tight and will corrode the wires and switch contacts. I found a 4wire dump trailer switch to be a better replacement after the 2nd harness and switch failure. Also adding a pair of battery charging terminals is a smart move for charging specially when used regularly for monthly maintenance.

Even a rookie can patch a hole.

You got it!

I have seen too many that get locked up and tear up your brakes. Thanks for noticing.

Thank you! Now i just need some cold weather so it freezes.

I haven't been able to justify the expense of an electric ratchet just yet. I really don't do that much that needs one anymore. One day though. Thanks for the info about the jack stands. I don't tend to trust any of them. I keep a little pressure on my jack as well.

I got the idea from a roller rink the kids go to. I used schedule 40 pvc pipe, you can get it at any hardware store. Unfortunately, the weather here has been in the 40’s so the ice rink is more of a puddle so we have not been able to try them out yet. Everything fit together pretty snugly so I don’t think I will need to glue them. If you decided to you would just need to get some pvc glue.

Have a happy new year!

Thank you! I hope you have a Merry Christmas.
