The homemade grey drag tooth thing came with the tractor. I rewelded a mess of weak points then tried it on a neighbor's garden. No go . . . not enough weight (among other things) so back to the drawing board.
I had this miniature railway rails ripper from when I had an Oliver crawler and on that it would really rip . . . so I fitted it to the grey rig thinking to also add weight. but still it won't dig deep enough when pulling and as you've pointed out, the lower links are intended for pulling with the exception of snow etc.
My top bracket holding the heavy ripper to the grey thing is removable so I'm thinking I need TILT so as to dig in. I lenghthened the top link just now and it did a decent job on the soft sand of this new driveway I just started.
Thanks,
Terry
