"Gravel" around here is what I would have called "dirt" when I lived back east. Not pretty gravel like in the two pictures--it packs down really tight.
At the bottom of the driveway a trash truck and a school bus turn around (I'm the first driveway off of the paved road) and I get pot holes there. I'm not sure that crookedwrench's blade would dig down to the bottom of those. Probably only 3-4 inches deep, but I can't get that deep with just my unweighted back blade. The school bus has trouble hitting the actual driveway, so gravel does need bladed back into the drive down there.
In the yard I have the opposite problem, we don't drive in parts of it very often, so I get grass and weeds growing. It still looks to me that using those rippers to take the top inch or so off would do well? The back blade just bounces off when it's dry and some years it's hard to catch it when it's wet.
Other than that, I like crookedwrench's approach. I would like to see the pictures but also would like advise on rippers vs modified back blade.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
