Hey,
time went past, plans changed, tractors changed.
The project box blade got canceled. Instead i made a land pane, based on a design from an New Zealand Engineer. I thought it would be easier to use and still suit to my conditions. It was made very easy within day and a half, basically from 140 and 160mm construction steel.
The back is made from 160mm i steel, the sides from 140mm one. The front is a 6mm steel plate, reinforced with an 50mm U steel and an 40mm angle iron. On the bottom it has an 12x110mm cutting edge. Here's a pic from last year, i'll drop in a few more soon.
Cheers,
Rushy

Rushy,
That's an interesting attachment. I've never seen anything like it. Although my experience is limited. I hope you post some pictures showing it in action.

That's an interesting design indeed. I wonder how it compares to a more widely found tandem diagonal blade land plane grader scrapers? I've never seen a land plane used to level rough ground like the Newman is in the fields.
