Last spring while waiting for the new tractor to arrive (4520) I decided to build the landplane and harrow to help smooth up some property for lawn space.
The landplane is 8' wide with straight set blades for field work and the harrow is fixed spikes at 45 degrees. The 8' double edged grader blades were the most expensive parts. The landplane weighs in about 950 lbs with all the steel being structural to eliminate any flexing. The blades are flush with the wear strips on the sides, this works well for removing mounds or anthills without tearing up the grass too bad. In a field it does wonders to smooth out prior to planting a seed bed too.
I use the harrow to cover broadcast seed and will be adding a roller to this asap.
Hope this helps some guys looking to stretch their money. Harrow was about $150 and landplane with new blades and bolts was about $700.
