I'll be darned!

I didn't request them but got them (again, paid $1,400 total). Will have to re-look at my brochure tomorrow to make sure I'm remembering correctly ... not that I guess it matters now!

That's what I figured. Capital City Equipment in Des Moines is who I got it from and they're apparently not ethical, because when I asked he said they're optional. Ridiculous...

I'm sorry Chris, that I didn't realize the shanks were optional & could warn you. If you haven't used yours, yet, maybe you could swap it?

So, they're optional then?

Does it have the slots for the shanks? If it does, just buy the shanks, if not, then see about trading.

OK, I just looked, & No it does not say optional.

It just says "Heat Treated Scarifier Shanks"

I can scan & post the page if you need it.

I don't see a date on this catalog, but I grabbed it from my Kubota dealer's Land Pride catalog stack either back in June 2010 when I bought my tractor or sometime after that, can't recall, but June 2010 at the earliest (never even looked at tractors before that!). Of course this is not to say that their stack of catalogs was current at the time, & of course it sounds like Land Pride has changed this item since then.

Land Pride shows them as optional.

I was saying my Land Pride hard copy catalog doesn't, but that it may have changed since 2010.

However ... I need to amend again: I turned the page to the box blade/ grading scraper specifications charts page, & it says "Scarifier Shank Construction (optional)" for all 5 of their grading scraper models.
