Default Grading with an LT!

I compared every option on the web and decided to give a product called the Handozier a try. I was skeptical and communicated with the owner who assured me it works. The service was prompt and shipped the next day after ordering. It arrived today (1 week from California to Virginia), and it appears well made and quite sturdy. They have a video on assembly and operation on their web site and so I was familiar with the assembly which is really quite minor. After putting it together I had to give it a try on my gravel driveway. I was quite surprised. There is a spot in the center to add a cinder block or cinder block filled with concrete, but it seemed to work fine without it. When I started my driveway was packed hard as concrete and most of the gravel had gotten packed down below the surface. It took several passes, but it was a lot of fun playing with it. I guess I spent about an hour and I have more to do. In a nut shell it worked as advertised and I am quite pleased. About 30 minutes into it, I stopped and put my hand on the transmission. It was warm, but I could touch it for a few seconds before having to let go. Felt about like it does when mowing. Not sure if I can put the link to the site, but a search of the web will bring it up. I attached a couple of pics of my results today.

It is also one of the more affordable options I found. It is currently on sale for $299 and shipping was $65 UPS ground.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

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.
