Anyone use a split pipe tractor drag?

[Bucknaked]

I'm not familiar with a "split pipe" drag... I've looked on the DDGo and YouTube and cannot seem to find anything that fits that description... Personally, I use a land plane around my place to keep my roads maintained. It does a good job and now that I have a hydraulic top link on my 3-point hitch, it's even better.

I also have a land plane with 3 pt hyd. top and tilt but it won’t do you a bit of good on soil with grasses on it.

Up again!

Frankly, I just think you’re compensating for a small appendage. Won’t say which one.

It may be little but hey, it’s skinny too!

Okay, that was funny.

Is that the same thing as a Magee blade or box blade?

If you could find a piece of 10" railroad track, weld some pad-eyes on it, you be golden. I think rr track is 100# per foot

I’m not familiar with the term Magee blade but it is a different animal than a box blade. A land plane is a pair of scraper blades that when drug level will knock off the high points of ground and roll them into the low spots. The blades are low profile and are mounted at a slight angle from perpendicular to the direction of travel of the tractor. As material is cut off the high points it can only build up a little before it rolls over the top of the blades. There is no high box to pull a large amount of material. It simply redeposits it out the back of the second blade.
Sucker works like magic really. I use mine to manicure my driveway to my barn and the big crushed rock pad around my shop. When I rework my garden plots, I just knock down any compost piles or soil enough so I can drive over them. I just drive around spreading out the material where I want it and the land plane makes it level.

Edit to add: Just do a YouTube search for Land Plane. There’s dozens of videos of them in action.

Does your land plane have scarifiers you can adjust on the front? If so, you can drop them down and tear up hard compacted grass pasture like it was disced but only about 3” deep. Don’t get me wrong, a good heavy drag is better I think, but if you need to really tear up the ground but only the top 3-4”, a land plane is hard to beat.

Sounds like it’s worth what you paid for it!

[SaltwaterSlick]

They’re called “box blade for dummies”!!

Here is the split pipe drag. 6" pipe, 1/2 wall, I'm guessing 15-20' long.
