DR Power Grader pulled behind an ATV | Belted Galloway Homestead

DR Power Grader pulled behind an ATV | Belted Galloway Homestead
I purchased a DR Power Grader to help with the grading and smoothing of the driveway and gravel area. It is a DR power-actuated, pull-behind grader.
This grader has a pendant remote control that lets you adjust your grading depth from your tow vehicle while you drive. I will discuss my modifications, the operation of the grader, and recommendations. I used the Mavic Air 2 drone for some aerial shots of the grader in action. There is even an action cam blooper at the end of the video. Belted Galloway Homestead

Thanks for sharing, it helps me decide if I wanted to go with DR grader, which I probably will. loved view of the road afterwards and the blooper.

[@BeltedGallowayHomestead]

Thank you very much. Great to hear positive feedback!

[@MysteriousOutdoors]

Using that 60lb battery as the center weight is ingenious. Great video.

[@MysteriousOutdoors]

Wish I could use that, the rain etch in 6" gullys thru my driveway for 200ft, the drive in this picture looks perfect before hand.

[@BeltedGallowayHomestead]

Thanks for the comment! The rock in the drive had been pushed down into the surface. I little grading with this DR Grader will scratch and lift them back to the top. Thanks for watching!

[@jamesthompson8975]

thanks for the video, i live on east side of smokey moutains, have 1000 ft gravel driveway, can t get anybody to show up to do any work up there, think this will work fine for me.

[@BeltedGallowayHomestead]

Thanks for the comment. I have been happy with mine except for the electronics trouble. Gets the driveway smooth.

[@BeltedGallowayHomestead]

The DR Power Grader works good for me. Does a tractor box blade or skid steer planner work for you as well? Please comment!

[@anthonyazzara4395]

Thanks for the video. How do you maintain a crown of the grader doesn’t have a tilt feature?

[@BeltedGallowayHomestead]

Thanks for the question. I will run my grader on half of the driveway. Then I will grade the other half on the way back. I think this maintains the crown.

[@BrewCityRider]

@@BeltedGallowayHomestead What is the purpose of maintaining the crown?

[@BeltedGallowayHomestead]

@@BrewCityRider Thanks for the great question. It is for the runoff of water. Otherwise, water will concentrate and create soft spots and mud holes. Thanks for reaching out!

[@loyalbadams]

Can you give some specifics: I inherited one that isn't working.
_Tower switch type
_Wire size
_Metal Box
_Battery Size and type ( d cell? )
any help would be appreciated.

[@BeltedGallowayHomestead]

Thanks for reaching out. Are you wanting what I am using or are you looking for original equipment information? Are you referring to the pig tale I created?

[@loyalbadams]

@@BeltedGallowayHomestead The pigtail, Two way toggle, wire size, metal box. Wiring diagram to the actuator if available.

[@loyalbadams]

Also, Thanks for your quick response.

[@BeltedGallowayHomestead]

@@loyalbadams I do have some info that I put together for someone else. I can email this info to you if I had your email. It is up to you if you want to provide that here. Usually, people go to my web page and fill out contact info.

[@gsbell26]

I have the same issue with the remote...except none of the wiring is hooked up. would you send me a drawing of the wiring.

[@BeltedGallowayHomestead]

I do not have a drawing. Just did it. I could send some photos. I may be able to draw something up, but not sure. DM me your email and I will send you the info. You can also go to my webpage and fill out the contact info. Here is the link.

[@lifeontheradstead1005]

Would you mind sending us these pictures as well?

[@carlosmariscal6373]

I used a remote actuator switch from Amazon for about 20 bucks and now it works flawlessly with a concrete block for added weight and I only use it after a decent rainfall

[@BDA123100]

Can you give me information on which remote actuator switch you selected and which wires you replaced. I have one of these graders I haven't used in a year and the remote stopped working.

[@aaroninks]

Wait till it rains, and then pull it. No offense but you’re wasting your time pulling it on a dry dusty day. The wetter the better.

[@BeltedGallowayHomestead]

Thanks for the reaching out and watching.
