Knife shanks for Landpride box blade

[teg]

If the local welding shop can put a sharp knife edge on the backside of the shanks - if the points can be removed. That would be the cheapest (remember, he did not want to spend money on a subsoiler).

I would think he could buy an axle and a few disks with hubs... and mount that under the box blade.

Disks like these:
Coulter Blades

Google "disc opener", "covering disc", or "drill disc". Here's one at Rural King Seed Disc Opener 15x3mm 864-SMA55927 by Sma - Midwest for $31.97 in Disc Parts - Tillage - Tractor Parts & Accessories - Agriculture : Rural King
I used one like that to replace the rolling fin (centering disc) on my old Dearborn cultivator. They come with sealed bearings, and I just used a large bolt as the axle. They are fairly heavy duty and I think they would work well for what you are trying to do.

Need to do some measuring.

Also will be checking with my local AGG stores, but most closed today.

Box Blade points are usually crimp on. One good hit with a hand sledge usually knocks them off.

I have a small one of those, but no I need to slice thin furrows. I discovered my old Chraftsman garden tractor box blade in the junk pile. It has thin ripper teath, Need to dig it out and see if it will fit my new mower tractor. Might work. Ill get to this once the snow melts a bit.
