Need Advise on Seeding a New Woods Road

[wfcjr]

In both those pictures I was using a rake



I am a novice and self taught at that so what I say may be all wrong. My goal is to make tractor roads. A little rough is OK. I have found that the less dirt I move the better off I am. If I drop the blade into the dirt and push more often than not I find more rocks than dirt. So if I don't need to make any real cuts I use the rake to get out the rocks sticking above the surface and stumps. That section of road was pretty easy.

Great point about moving too much dirt with the blade in some cases.  I am an even bigger novice.  Have found that I am frequently exposing huge rocks & ledge when using blade only.  Will try your method of using the root rake in most cases and only using the blade when having to make a cut.
