Another "smoothing lawn thread"

While that'll dig properly do you think the diggings will roll over the top and be dispensed evenly at the rear of the blade as the solid roller with nubs would carry more dirt over since there's no open gaps between the nubs. Since you'll be using this in an area that don't need large pieces and rocks seperated (already finish material) the adjustable shield used on other power rakes wouldn't help you out. I'm assuming you just want to stir up whats there and place it back smooth. I'm just thinking and writing it down and sometimes that can be dangerous

Not sure if someone posted this, but I use my box blade to level. I pitch the front up so the rippers and inside front blade are above the ground, with the back blade dragging the ground. I then place small piles of dirt/compost around the rough area and drag through them. The box captures the pile and the back blade dragging spreads and places the material in the low areas while riding over the bumps. I pitch it up so there is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch below the front blade to the top of the hard grass surface. You can go lower to trim mounds in the process, but the key is for the box to be fully resting on the back blade. I then seed and drag the harrow over on its back in a smoothing operation.

With horses I have plenty of material to get rid of and this works well without buying another piece of iron. I also have added more weight to the box using concrete blocks to get better results.
