My First Gravel Driveway Repair was a Nasty One with Ventrac 4520z

This is a lawn-service operator's first-ever gravel driveway repair using the Ventrac 4520Z with a power rake attachment, narrated candidly with mistakes included: running the drum backward, not cutting deep enough, a rock jamming the drum, and three and a half hours to finish a job he later says should take two. It ends with before/after photos. Best for owners learning power rake technique through real trial-and-error rather than a polished how-to.
