Currently, the plow shoes are adjusted so the blade rides just about an inch and a half off the road surface, so I think I have it adjusted correctly, but the local timber company graded our road this year and it came out pretty rough and they gouged a lot of the larger base rocks up to the surface, and it would be a real pain to try and rent a grader to try and get it back in some type of shape.
Ayuh,.... That means the road toppin' is
Gone, it shoulda been capped, rather than just graded,....
You can still get some more time out of it though,....
Find yerself a big I beam, say something like a 14" or 16" "W" I beam, by 8' or 10' long, 'n a piece of chain link fence,....
On the beam, cut 4 holes in each end in each flange near the ends,....(when the bottom flange wears out, flip the beam, 'n use the other side)
With those holes, attach a length of tow chain, say 20' long,...
In the 2 holes in the opposite flange, add 2 short lengths of chain, 'n attach the chain link fence to the beam,....
By attachin' the long tow chain to yer trailer hitch, with a cat's azz knot, you can angle the "Blade" to pull in the chowder off the edges of the road towards the center,....
Or, the chain can be set to angle the beam outward if ya care to, or it can be towed squarely to the truck, by movin' the cat's azz,...
The beam will act as a grader, regradin' the road, fillin' in the potholes with the chowder knocked up,....
The chain link fence, behind the beam, levels it all out,...
The 1st time ya use it, it'll probably take 4 or more passes to see the results ya want,...
After that, a couple passes a month will keep it that way,...
