Hi all. I topped my 1100' driveway this week, and I want to build something to level and groom it periodically. My thought was to build a light duty landplane for the job. Will be pulling it with a JD3120. Its 5' wide with 8" tall channel sides (scrap on hand). My question is, I built it with a hinge point between the hitch and base, thinking it would be better to follow the contour of the drive. Chains run from the top link to the rear of three skids, so I can still lift it. Any opinons on whether this will work ok, or should it be solidly mounted?
Second question, how far below the skids should the grader blades be set. Again, only for grading #1 crush run gravel
Thanks for any advice. I'll try to post up some picgures tomorrow.
