The only thing you need to do when you need more weight in added in the tray that comes on top of the grader. I have one and it works great.

It might be nice for grooming ball fields but there I can't imaging this thing is going to be effective at leveling gravel driveways.

He used an old bedspring with a buch of cinder blocks and rocks on it for weight. Pull it behind the tractor (or lawnmower,or 4 wheeler, or whatever you want). Problem solved...cheaply.

My dad has a gravel driveway that is 100 yards long (he lives in Alaska), and not only did I have to shovel that thing, but we had to repair it regularly. And when I say "we", I mean me. We had those big gravel grades too, and somebody was always spinning rocks on it. We had four-wheelers, so this would have been very helpful I think he pays somebody to plow the driveway in the winter now and has some sort of help for fixing the gravel.

I'm not affiliated with the company nor do I own one, but I've thought of welding something similar together. http://drivewaygroomer.com/faqnew.html is a similar and more economical solution.
