For long lane - road maintenance doing it with a tractor and a box blade or three point blade would not be my idea of a fun time . As i have been there done that . The tops on my list would be a dozer with a 6 way blade or and old small gallion grader . The one farm i rented had a 3/4 mile long lane that was a total mess , we did the tractor with a heavy three point blade thing even made some mods to it and added a trailer wheel on the back for a more road grader affect . Fought that lane for a couple years till i had enough . One weekend i borrowed a friends 750 Deere dozer and went to work on the lane , that sink hole went bye bye as i dug it out so deep and about two hundred feet long and over two blade widths wide and filled it with shale and clay compacted plum removed the banks added ditches down both sides and crowned the road banked the turn added two culverts and catch basins i done made me a BOLEVARD two lanes wide with a high speed banked turn and sand rocked it from top to bottom . Don't care how bad the weather got you could drive back in with a semi and drive out . Before if it was wet ya needed no less then one extra tractor and a long chain to get a load of corn out in a small gravity wagon . Then once a year i would take a Deere 550 with a 6 way blade and dress it . I got all the stone and shale out of the old strip cuts up in back of that farm .

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea ... [Read Article]
