Land Lever Tow Bar

[McCaskey]

After snapping the tow bar off the land lever twice, I rebuilt with a lot more steel.
Needed to be removable for transporting on a trailer. Land leveler is a 12 foot wide towable box scraper.
A lot of stress on the bar with every turn even when empty.

Interesting scraper. I've seen dozens of those wheeled scrapers but none had skids.

I added the skids in addition to the tires with 8x8 angle iron.
Always keeping the front edge elevated to prevent plowing with the 3-point hitch controls.

I feel your going to bend that metal bar everything is welded too, my landplane has substantial re enforcement compared to that unit and mine is only 5 feet wide.

I snapped the original smaller bar twice in 20 years. The heavier reinforced bar should last longer. It's the turning that creates most stress. I try to keep turns to a 100' radius.

Nice job done.
