River City Sand & Gravel

Seeing how much the Oliver was getting bounced around on the terrain, i wonder if it'd be possible / worth it to mount a gyro on the back of blade or supports controlling lift servo to help with ground leveling.
I dunno if a drift car gyro would work rotating it from Yaw to Pitch, or if a 3-axis would be needed. I know it's cheating, that machine wouldn't have had assists.

I bought and tried a gyro rx about a year ago. I forget exactly what issues I had but decided it wasn't helping. My biggest problem is like in the above video where dirt or sand gets caught in the track. That makes the Dozer pitch up and down really bad and makes it nearly impossible to maintain a good blade height.

It actually isn't too bad when the tracks are running flat. The biggest thing I find is having the dual rate so I can push pretty slow, which looks better anyway. And, just watching the blade close, I need to sit where I can see really good or it is impossible to do a good job. I have the track drive motors setup on the right stick and the blade on the left which works good for me.
