The disadvantage to our place is that our cabin is 1/2 mile onto our place and on top. There are 4 major ridge systems that go out from our cabin and each ridge go roughly 1 mile, in a turkey foot (if you will) from where the cabin is centrally located. I've tried to design a drag for a couple years and been unsuccessful. The best thing we've found are a box blade and using leaf blowers. I've even explored the drag behind blowers you see atv's pulling on golf courses. It is vital for us, as the main ridges are the main accesses! I think the rake will be the ticket. Angle it to where you rake one side to the right, turn around at the end of the road, and rake to the other side, making a good 8' - 10' dirt path
