What happens here

Once the crown is generally formed, perform back-dragging passes to smooth the road surface. Back-dragging involves driving the skid steer in reverse with the Roadrunner blade slightly raised at the back, using the rakers to level and condition the material. This technique is particularly effective with the wheel kit, which provides stability and allows for precise leveling, making the road 'buttery smooth' without creating ruts or holes.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, level road surface without ruts or washboarding
