Default Pull behind driveway grader
My driveway is roughly 1000 feet long and I would like to make something to smooth it out. If you have made your own grader please post pictures and help me with your great ideas

I bought a Box Blade that attaches by Sleeve Hitch on my Cub Cadet for smoothing dirt/stones/etc.

I bought it at a Flea Market, no nameplates that I ever found, no idea who made it. Only one I've ever seen.

I have a Brinly box scraper and a Craftsman (Agri-Fab) landscape rake, both for the sleeve hitch, that work out good.

However I normally use a larger tractor and box blade, as my driveway has a big hill, which is tough for a CC to carry much material up. Then I'll smooth it out w/ the landscape rake and my 782.

Do you find one blade to be enough or do
You use a multi blade option? I see you have slots for three.

I may build a Cub sized box or maybe land leveller style.

You're making me miss my IH 284. Sold it before the holidays, buyer just picked it up today.

That's alright, a Ford 2120 HSS 4x4 took its spot.

I have been wanting a vintage pull type grader but either they are expensive or completely worn out and rusted to the point of unusable
I would love to make a mini version 48-60” or so
I am not overly motivated as my neighbor has a track doctor for his 4020 and does my drive once a year but I am thinking I can make a cool retro unit

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
