It looks identical to mine which is a Buhler Farm King.
I found that when using the scarifiers in the fully down position, the box blade wants to rotate when it hits a big obstacle such as a tree root or immovable rock. One time this caused the link bars supporting the back of the box blade to deform. I managed to mostly straighten them out by backing the bottom of the blade against a tree stump then included a stainless steel tie rod (see attached photo) to prevent the link bars from spreading and deforming. Haven't had problems since.

It also look identical to the 72" box blade that I have which is a Huskee brand (Tractor Supply's house brand).

Loogie,
I guess you don't use the rippers. I noticed that they are bolted on long enough for the nuts to get rusty.

This box blade was "donated" to me so for the purpose of trading in on a smaller one that will fit my tractor. It's been sitting in a field for eons.
