I"m looking to build a land leveler for my 8N. I"ve been told the best kind is one that hooks to the 3 Point and has caster wheels 8 ft behind the blade. Looking to level my gravel drive way. Any ideas or pictures out there? I have a 3 Pt blade but not good enough to get good results with it! Any help appreciated. EGBinOR

Don't have pictures but I made a frame about three feet behind the back blade with wheels. Used chains to set depth with 9N. I built about 1/4 mile road and covered it with Waste asphalt. Worked very good. can send pic if you want.
You can build a frame and add the wheels to your current back blade.
I don't have a picture, but I built a set like this for my landscape rake.
It worked well and I just pinned them on so I could take them off when not needed.

I saw a setup once, nothing much more than a 3 point out the back side of a blade going back about 4-5 feet to a single wheel about wheel barrow sized. As I recall only the top link was adjustable. It was probably a 7 ft blade and 30+ hp tractor. The top link forked at the wheel end.
I make a position/height control device for the 9N/2N and Ferguson T model tractors that gives you positive positioning of the lift arms. Set and forget it.

Exactly. Without that rear wheel or wheels in back of the blade, every time your wheels hit a low spot the blade goes down with the wheels. Those rear wheels hold it at a steady level.
JMOR, of course you know this. I'm just adding a little more for those that don't get it.

Here is a driveway grader I just completed. I have the plans available.
One thing I would advise, make it as heavy as your tractor can handle. I have read that 110 lbs per foot of width is recommended, and after using it, I would agree. This one is 6' wide. The wheels on my 8N were just starting to lose traction when I was dragging this up a slight hill in the gravel. I lifted the 3PH just a bit, which put more weight on the tractor, and all was good. This thing does an excellent job at smoothing out my 1/2 mile gravel driveway.[/img]
