Grading mile long gravel driveway in short order! Bobcat CTL & SR3 combo!

OH SNAP! If you have a gravel driveway, gravel parking lot, or gravel road that you maintain, OR, if you just love seeing machines at work improving things, than take a look at this one! In today's episode I will literally regrade our mile long driveway on our Southern Illinois farm in mere minutes with my Bobcat T650 CTL skid steer and my ABI attachments SR3 grading attachment. And, this was with me still learning the sr3 grading 'angles,' so I had to run the entire mile long gravel driveway 2 times to get a nice, final grade on it. But if I was proficient with it, I would have only had to grade it out with just one pass each direction. If you are curious about the SR3 attachment, (they make them for tractors, ATV's, UTV's and Vermeer mini skid steer's) here is the link where you can check them out: https://www.abiattachments.com/product/sr3-skid-steer-scarifier-grading-landscape-rake/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=kapperoutdoors
Now, back to today's episode. We have lived here for about the last 6 years, and maintaining a mile long gravel road is often no easy task. I have tried many different methods so far; Tractor and back blade, tractor and box blade, skid steer and power rake (aka harley rake), and a heavy drag on my UTV/ATV. But up until now, it has always taken more work and time than I had hoped it would and gave me some marginal results overall. One of the reasons that I wanted to try out this SR3 attachment from ABI attachments is because it literally combines the actions of 3 different attachments all in one compact, and easy to use implement. If you have never seen it in action yet here are a couple of links to some of my earlier trials and uses of the SR3 on both dirt and gravel:
