I did contact Road Boss and found that their skid steer attachment was not adaptable for my Land Pride land plane. They would sell me a skid steer attachment for $500.00 and also a 6 ft land plane for $2675.00 including freight to my home. This did not fit my budget and I ordered 2 rear cutting blades from Land Pride and will mount to my land plane and then order a 3 pt. adapter with SSQA. Then I will mount to my loader so I can drive forward while using the land plane. Biggest problem I see right now is due to all the snow we had in March - I am about 3-4 weeks from being able to work on my driveway.

Thanks for the update. :thumbsup:
I thought about getting their skid steer attachment and adapting it to my box blade, but not at that price.

This video shows what appears to be an SSQA with adjustable rollback angle.

I did the opposite of that (made a loader for the rear of the tractor) and the results greatly exceeded my expectations. I made some lower link extensions from angle iron and attached those and a 3 point boom pole to the rear of the tractor (Ford 2000). I attached the other end of the link extensions to the lower link positions on a 3-point pond scoop, and the end of the boom pole to the upper link. The resulting "trip-bucket" rear-loader worked better than a front loader ever did on that two wheel drive tractor. The advantage was that the rear loader made the tractor gain traction rather than loose it when it was loaded, as normally happens when a bucket is loaded on a two wheel drive tractor. I used that rear-loader for about 10 years for everything from loading manure spreaders with horse crap, to loading dump trucks with stone and topsoil. It sure beat doing those jobs with a pitch fork or shovel, and was well worth the $400 or so it cost me in materials, including the scoop, boom pole, and angle iron. You need some significant hydraulic power to make that rear-loader useful however. My Ford 8n could only lift the empty scoop, while I could heap it full with the 2000. All of that turning around did give me a bit of a stiff neck however, compared to the front loader equipped 4 wheel drive tractor that I use now.

I have the road boss with the skid steer adapter. It works great and can be attached in either direction. It is pretty custom to fit the road boss frame but something similar could be built for most attachments fairly easily.

This is a snip of the SSQA that appears to be adjustable for the range of curl.
Anyone familiar with it?

With the help of google images. 
I had previously posted pictures of it in a thread about adding rollback.

Usually i set an example for the Town on how to grade a road, but not this year. Ground is still frozen. With this Global climate shift stuff, i predict in 3-4 weeks we go from winter direct to summer.
I have a follow-up to my post of 4/8/18. As I had previously indicated - I hardly ever remove the backhoe from my tractor and I think I have hit upon an idea to eliminate the following to grade my driveway: A. Remove backhoe B. Attach 3 pt hitch C. Attach land plane to 3 pt. D. Re-grade driveway with land plane E. Remove land plane F. Remove 3 pt hitch G. Re-attach backhoe. Therefore - I ordered 2 rear blades from Land Pride and attached to my land plane. Then I ordered (on Amazon) a 3 pt adapter with SSQA and today I mounted on front loader of my Mahindra 2555 and was able to drive forward to regrade my 600 ft long driveway. Did not use the ripper and drove slowly - but it worked Great!!

I have one of these Landpride SH35 which does exactly what you are looking for. Works well
