I was leary at first, but now I'm not! The DR Grader (manual - alot cheaper and you don't have to worry about the height actuator, charging, etc.) works great on my driveway!
Many design flaws the frame scratches horribly when concrete weight blocks are added causing premature rust out (I have the pro 60 version) with the electric raise lower the wiring connectors are not waterproof and corrode to the point of unserviceability rapidly running all the current through the switch to raise and lower causes burned contacts in the switch causing it to fail, the battery works for about a year then fails as it cannot handle the actuators power draw repeatedly without charging... Here is what needs changed in the design... 1) Waterproofing of the wiring harness and connectors 2) needs better weight brackets not integrated into the frame 3) bigger battery 4)a way to maintain charge while in use 5)add big direction winch relay to the linear actuator 6)heavier gauge wire throughout the harness 7)controller and power cord storage box, separate battery box 8)better tires those smooth tire slide sideways too easily either a 3or 4rib tire would provide better side to side control 9) get rid of the cable raise go with linkage instead 10) an adjustable hitch height at the coupler in addition to the center adjustment 11) a longer tongue the longer it is the better it tracks behind the tow machine as well as it reduces the chance of washboard hopping on hard packed gravel specially if combined with over the axle weights
Change the orientation
Would have been a good video if it were horizontal, rather than vertical.
What are you saying?
What is your opinion of the grader?

Here is what needs changed in the design...
1) Waterproofing of the wiring harness and connectors
2) needs better weight brackets not integrated into the frame
3) bigger battery
4)a way to maintain charge while in use
5)add big direction winch relay to the linear actuator
6)heavier gauge wire throughout the harness
7)controller and power cord storage box, separate battery box
8)better tires those smooth tire slide sideways too easily either a 3or 4rib tire would provide better side to side control
9) get rid of the cable raise go with linkage instead
10) an adjustable hitch height at the coupler in addition to the center adjustment
11) a longer tongue the longer it is the better it tracks behind the tow machine as well as it reduces the chance of washboard hopping on hard packed gravel specially if combined with over the axle weights
