Stonehenge is on a distinguished road
And that's it - you have to do enough, over a period of time, to get proficient at it. I have a pretty good system down, and try to teach that to my guys, but there's a lot of 'feel' to the work that can't be taught.

I saw a landscape outfit up from Milwaukee that must do a ton of grading/seeding - they had a Harley with what looked like a 3rd set of teeth welded on. You could see the pattern for the first two sets, ground down to nothing. This last set were the replaceable cap type.

So now I'm thinking about buying a small tractor instead, with a box and then some kind of pull behind rake. Seems it'd be easier to learn and teach.
