If you're on locations, you're probably gonna see more belly dumps and end dumps depending on where you are at.

So I called Dual Dozer and has no demo, or dealer in Texas. Bobcat only for bobcat, landplane isn't really what I need, and dozer blade won't work as I thought. Where does that leave me? The dual dozer style would be perfect. I know I can do this road, just thought there would be an attachment that would perfect it.

As previously stated, there are other possibilities for the grader attachment. The older model Bobcat grader attachments used 12 volt solenoid valves and can be controlled by a simple hand control or control box inside the cab.
QUICK ATTACH makes this 6-way-dozer-blade
GREAT-ERRR also makes this grader attachment.
Mini-Might Patrol may be another option. Their website seems to be down so I don't know if they are still in production.
This grader attachement from Australia is very similar to the original grader attachment made by Palm Attachments for Bobcat.
Site Pro also makes a SSGB-8 Skid Steer Grader Blades
I have heard of people mounting a Bobcat Tilt-Tach to a Landplane to provide the ability to cut the cross slope.
Many options, you just have to decide how much you want to spend to buy an attachment or rent a small grader to work more efficiently.

Have you thought about a 4 in 1 bucket? You can push, pull, dig, scrape, grade, load, might be worth trying one out.

Thanks TriHono. That looks like a well built unit, I am in Missouri and would buy it, however not sure what it would take to ship it to me from Vermont. I have about 1/2 mile of farm road to keep maintained and that would sure help out...
I’m a big fan of the Power Box Rake, I use a Cat PR184 the same as the Harley MX7 and do a lot of long rural gravel & clay driveways with it. One advantage is that you can run a light scarifying pass over the area prior to puting down your top surface this will minimise any delamination between the old and new surface, which can be an issue down my way. Using chains on the tailgate of the tip truck is a must and massive time saver as mentioned above, one truck run down the middle of your road/track already provides you with your crown height, working either side of the material pass should give you your profile. You can use the angle system on the rake to regulate your material coverage from the crown. I don’t normally run a rake pass down the road centre as it will remove your crown, likewise when compaction rolling it. If your material isn't wet when it is delivered, water it as you spread it, this will keep your mixture together as the rake rolls and spreads the material. The action of the power rake is similar to the action of the grader mouldboard. Good luck which ever way you decide to go. Oh and welcome to HEF.

Check out a "Roadrunner" http://www.roadrunnerblade.com/skidSteerModels.html I have an 8' on a big Gehl and it does a great job. A much cheaper attachment, and with it's long skid shoe it works like a grader blade.
