road grader

Highway leveling machine

A road grader is a heavy construction vehicle with a long blade mounted between the front and rear axles, used to flatten and level surfaces.

Graders shape dirt roads, clear snow, and prepare ground for paving.

The blade can be angled and tilted to move material precisely: The county sends a road grader down our road twice a year.
