In your head line you posted a Landscape Grader.
Do you expect to grade sodded areas? The ones I have seen are for repairing roads. Not sure if they would work on sod.

Mine worked pretty good at peeling up a grass area for my driveway expansion. I look forward to seeing some pics Waterguy.
Didn't take pics yet, but my brother and i took it out to test it. Dragging it around showed me that even at 400 lbs the tail end is a little lighter than i wanted. When my 240 lb brother stood on the back it was real good at leveling my driveway. So we went on a mission to see if any friends had any railroad iron that i could place on the back. Nobody had any but when we were driving home i saw a piece near my nieces house. Her husband had three pieces that totaled 10'. He said if i made him an anvil out of one small one i could have them. He also told me where to get 10' more. This should do the trick.

Very nice - looks like it will do a great job!
I am adding 275lbs railroad iron on the back. I temporarlly tried it with it on the rear shelf and it made all the differance in the world. might change the rear leveler to an angle piece also, but i am going with the weight first.
