You don't want to do that, in the complete sense. Most driveways (including my auxiliary parking) are laid with larger stones on the bottom, then finer stones on the top. You DO NOT want to mix them up and you definatly do not want the big stones on top (they simply do not stay put... I was at work, like a chump, the day my fool of a contractor "repaired" my driveway with the wrong damn stones... They're all over the place 9 months later. The correct stuff out back is doing exactly what it should).
The advice J gave you is exactly spot on. DO NOT dig deep with a ripper or grader box tangs in a gravel driveway. You will create an unmanageable weed patch that will need to be ripped out and started again from scratch. My Dad didn't listen to my advice and that's exactly what he got... I'll be out there Saturday and will snap a pic or two of his disaster...

Not all driveways are created equal. Not all have large stone under them. And if built right, you should never be able to reach it, at least not with a cub.... Some have typar. Again, if done correctly you shouldn't be able to reach it with a cub and blade either.

It isn't a waste of time. If it was the counties would just add gravel to a gravel road. Instead, they "maintain" them. Constantly grading. Usually not adding gravel for YEARS!
