My dad, Clifton Ralph, grading with a C-120 Hydro

[Lane Ranger 10,493]

My dad, Clifton Ralph, grading gravel in his driveway with a 1979 Wheel Horse C-121 hydro and a 44 inch grader blade made by Ken Stephens (Fabricator on Red Square) on Sunday April 21st.   The C-121 preformed well with Ken's grader blade design and dad had never used a hydro before.  Once he got into it he was off like lightening.  

 

 

He used  his 1964 Wheel Horse 1054 with a lighter garden plow we have to break up the gravel and soil with the garden plow point.   You raise and lower the garden plow with the hydraulic pump on the lift and make "rows" to loosen up the gravel you need to grade and contour the land.

 

He also used another Wheel Horse 1054 to haul the excess stone to other low spots.    He spent four hours  doing this on Sunday.

Looks like he did a fine job. I wish I had one of them for my B-100.
