    10 ft drag box scraper, 60 HP tractor and other discoveries (picture)

    I do have a few implements. I have a cultivator that has 9 shanks on it that I use for things like this but as I said in my first post, those shanks aren't really meant for hard ripping. I've bent several of them. I also have a small tool bar with 3 shanks that can do the primary ripping. but...

    I have 315 pounds of cast weight on each wheel and few pounds of bolts and nuts holding it on. I'm probably going to make a trip next weekend to a dealer that sells RimGuard.

    well in this case, the part of the ground that stopped my tractor was about 3 foot wide. My 6 ft box blade would have stopped the tractor too. There are so many factors involved here but still, the blade is really too big. As I said, I'll keep working with it.

    Hey it's been awhile but I remember the posts we exchanged. Yes the weight is important. I don't know what the D6 is but regardless, horsepower and weight are important. Ya know, this blade pulls harder than my 3 bottom plow. That surprised me.

    Well, I could do that, I have the tools but...well just but. I am working mostly undisturbed soil. Hard as a rock at times.

    1st thing, it works, to a point.I can pull it ok with a full box of dirt. I can't stick it in the ground and roll the dirt up like I want to, just stops the tractor, but if I'm easy with it, it works ok. I don't run out of power, just traction. I've moved a lot of dirt already. 2nd thing, I...

    Box Scraper  Doe anyone know who the manufacturer is

    I picked up this scraper for not too.much money. I've been trying to find out who built it. The only thing it has on it are some unreadable letters. I see potential in it. BTW, I am a previous member of this site but I guess it was long enough ago that I've lost the email I used to use. I had to...

    5 year update on my Bush Hog 1812

    Sorry about that. I forgot to say that it is served by a couple of rail spurs that bring in material for the manufacturing companies and haul out some of the finished products. That's why they named it a "rail park"/

    5 year update on my Bush Hog 1812

    I've replaced my skid shoes twice but not because I mow low. the ground is uneven so the ends of the wings will drag. And I replace my blades every year. There's always some hidden obstacle that I hit. (people dumping stuff). I've heard pros and cons to hard facing blades. too much work so I'll...

    A Rail park, or at least this rail park is an industrial park. Manufacturing, businesses etc. the entire property is 476 acres. businesses occupy everything but the 176 acres I mow. Actually, this past year another business was built that takes up 13 acres so I guess I mow 163 acres now. It's...
