I'm no grader hand but I have run one a few times playing with it. You won't do much with hard packed gravel. What I would do is set the blade at a angle start at one side of the road use light down pressure and roll the loose gravel to the center and then across the road then roll it back the loose stone will drop in the holes and fill them. It will take time to get the feel for it and moving hyd at tne same time to keep your cut the same depth. The rougher it is the harder it will be to keep it from lifting up on the blade and spinning the wheels. Don't go too fast I have had a cat grader with a 12' blade lift up the back end and slide it off the road into the ditch
Hope that will help some. Eaven a road grader has problems ripping up hard packed gravel.
