Thanks for the feedback guys. The I beam sounds like an effective inexpensive option, although it would be handy to be able to lift whatever I'm towing. The York Rake looks interesting, it seems like it might be able to clean rocks and sticks off of some of my dirt pathways as well. Are those...

I'm looking for a way to maintain a gravel driveway with my 1140. I've found a couple of products, does anyone have experience or opinions on these? http://www.abiattachments.com/products/innovation/gravel_rascal.html http://www.drpower.com/power-grader.aspx Are there other products I...
