This may sound silly, but what are the scarifiers supposed to do?
I've got a pretty heavy box blade, that I've added about 300 lbs. of old gym set weights to.
It's got scarifiers on it, but they're in the up position and I've never used them.
Are they used to break up dirt better than the box edge itself?
I use my box blade a lot (got about 12 acres that I've been trying to level)
It's mostly clay, and when it's dry, it's like stone so even with the blade loaded with weight, it doesn't pick up much.
If I use the scarifiers, is that what they're intended for?
I know this sounds like a dumb question, but I thought they were used to dig rows for planting or something. I was afraid to use them because I thought they'd grab something and break off or harm the tractor. Any tips on how best to use them would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help with a (probably) dumb question.
