Road graders of this type were probably used to clear snow from the local roads during the winter, allowing ranch personnel some freedom of movement around the countryside in order to perform their duties or give access to recreation. At other times they would have been used for various tasks on the ranch itself or to smooth out the surface of unpaved roads giving access to the ranch and that had been roughened by vehicular travel or erosion my moving water.
