I should run away from this one but here goes, as a motor grader operator/ operator training instructor. I can tell you one thing. Washboards are caused by traffic, Pot holes are caused by motor graders or rather the operator not maintaining enough crown/ drainage. I can usually follow the wash boards right back to the drive way of the lead foot who creates them. Sometimes to the point of where their
automatic transmission shifts! Spinning or sliding tires cause washboards. Gravel pack also has a limit to it's cohesion, once a vehicles shock wave is greater than the cohesion factor the crust will yield and washboard. Thats why flat straight roads will washboard because speed magnifies the shock wave. I have a Sandvic pick upfront, or I can go more aggressive and use my Grader bit pick. AS for the grader causing the washboards only a rookie or an operator who doesn't care would ride out a grader hop. You can feel it in your seat and correct it the instant it starts. My Grader is equipped with stable blade or bounce control, I turned it off because I can feel and correct it faster than the sensors. A grader operator can do lots of things to minimize the washboards but he can't work miracles especially in dry conditions. The Smoother I make em, the faster they go, the quicker they turn to crap.
