Box grader track leveller

Has anybody built a box grader with a hopper on the top for sorting out farm tracks ?

I'm looking for some ideas, something that can be dragged along slowly by a tractor and can be filled with a dumper but will also leave the grass in the middle.

george byrely i think his name was made something @40yrs ago to tow behind a trailer, i'm sure it won a silver medal for inventions, basicly a hopper on top of a RSJ frame on skids with an adjustable gap to let the gravel out on back edge

I made one out of h beam, bent h beam at back on a ram so can lift it to put a camber on the lane
can fill with dump trailer
doesnt have teeth for loosening existing lane
very cheap all existing s/hand metal

Got any pictures of this? Looking for inspiration

Also any particular advantages/disadvantages with a towed one vs a 3 pt mounted one? I guess towed are better at going around corners but worse at staying flat on the ground?
