Just looking for some ideas on differnt track maintence equipment that you guys have run accross. Currently we have a 7' box scraper and tow behind wobble wheel/roller.
I have seen pictures of tractors outfitted with belly mounted scrapers/hones and kind of like the idea. Some of the places we go are very small and tight so I can see a big advantage.
I have a Farmall Super C with a Fast Hitch and thought it would be a pretty slick candidate seeing its very nimble and light to haul. I could use the touch controls to raise and lower in the middle and have rear use the fast hitch along with a sprayer to maintain the moisture in the track.
Does anyone have any close up pictures of something like this? Ive seen some pictures of an MD in western PA set up simliar to this. Is having a V shaped cutting edges better than a rectangle box scraper?
One of the main concerns or problems I see, its having the front "v" float without digging in too much. I could use chain or cables too lift too allow it to come up and down without down pressure?
Lots of questions but just thinking outloud and looking for more ideas! Thanks for your help!!
