Box Scraper What kind of box blade is this thing?!?

[CoyPatton]

Anyone know where I can get a replacement scarifier? I cant find any on the internet with such a heavy rear angle. I need the one with the rear angle, the other one is a replacement that came with the blade. It sticks way out and hits my tractor when I raise 3 point to top position.

Best suggest I have for you is to take one with you to a welding/fab shop or someone you know with a CNC plasma table and have them cut you several and add a cutting edge to it.
I have never seen one with that angle!

Thanks coypatton, that was going to be my route if no one has seen them before I just figured that would be expensive. Never priced out custom cnc work before. That angle looks stronger than regular common shanks doesnt it. Not sure why they gave up on the design

Its a shot from the hip , but try calling :DN Equipment - DN Equipment

Those are an odd scarifier shank. I have never seen the ones that sweep back like those.

Yep, I have never seen any like that. Image searches and two reverse image searches didn't find any either.

image search that would have saved me a lot of time, good idea! I will have to try that next time. Ive been search for days through different venders and nothing. Custom made looks like the only option.

I am going to have to take a video of this thing in action it is a beast. Without rippers it cuts humps of compacted clay like butter. Its almost like the top link is meaningless as the blade articulates to the terrain going forward and backwards if I have top link in or out. I just use 3 point control for adjustment only and its working amazing. I have never used one before and I dont know if I just have a nack for it or if this blade just makes it so much easier.

You might try contacting Woods directly if you are certain it was a Gill built box since Woods owns the Gill name. I just ordered new springs for my old Gannon box blade and they were very helpful.

I just got around to weighing this box blade. Would anyone like to take a guess on how much it weighs before I post. I used a crane scale to get to the exact pound

 

[Xfaxman]

How wide is it?

 

[bottlediger]

I never measured it that way. It痴 73 long
I値l see if I can get the other measurements tonight!
