What kind of scraper blade is this??

[tcbusch]

I have seen a scraper blade used at tractor pulls. Here is a rough picture of what it looks like. I was thinking about building one for smoothing out the driveway. The blades are shown in red. The front blade knocks over the high spots and the back blades fill in the holes.

Another option I have is to put side skirts on my IH rear blade and turn it into a box blade. I don't want to modify the blade or drill any holes so it might be a tougher design.

Terry, sounds like a trail groomer for snowmobile trails.......

Terry, here are some photos of a trail groomer that was on the Simple Tractors website. It was used behind a Simplicity 9020 to groom snowmobile trails. The guy who has/had it also made some skis for the front.

Why would you groom a snowmobile trail? That's like paving a motocross course!

Terry - I'd say what you saw was custom built for the pulling circut.

Terry,
I tried to say hi to ya via email, but must have gotten lost by the mail man. I have seen those type of blades, or groomers like that at rodeos. Good for getting a pretty level surface, as long as there is a good operator....hint hint hehehe Nice to see ya again.
