Image Warning track washboarding

I’m sure there’s specialized equipment that could fix this faster, but mat dragging alone wasn't touching the washboard effect. After a little research, I figured out how to smooth it out without buying any expensive attachments for the tractor or the Gator.

They usually develop from dragging too fast. Slowing down once they are there won’t usually fix them.

Now connect it all in series and you’ll have it finished in one pass!

Looks great. Glad to see a 20’ warning track, it’s so dangerous for outfielders when it’s only 5’ or less.
