Road drag guidance for improving muddy roads and maintenance
Instructions advise spreading mud evenly as mortar on wet roads and avoiding dragging when dry. Begin on one side and drag toward the center, raising the road ten to twelve inches, keep material small, adjust hitch, and drag before freeze when possible. Caution about ruts and penalties for damaging dragged sections. Our Job Printing will please you.
Dragging the Roads Illinois Road Commission guide
The article outlines optimal road dragging practices for country roads. It advises dragging twice monthly on average, more in winter and spring, and lighter passes using soft wood logs seven to eight feet long and ten to twelve inches in diameter. It emphasizes dragging when roads are wet, even during rain, to improve moisture integration and prevent surface drying.
