Jim -- The belting is available, but it ain't cheap by any means. The source I found gets $5.25 per linear foot for new 6-inch 3-ply belting, or $7.50 for 4-ply. Doing the math real quick, that comes to $262.50 for 50 feet or $315 for 60 feet of the 3-ply, and $375 for 50 feet or $450 for 60 feet of the 4-ply. Remember, those prices are for 50 or 60 linear feet; once you lace the ends together you'll have a 25- or 30-foot distance from your buzz saw to its power source. And the shipping for a belt that size is bound to be considerable, as well. As I said, it ain't cheap. I did a quick search on eBay and came up with a couple of belts; eBay item #7589089634 is a 6-inch belt that's 45 feet long, and opening bid was 99¢. Item #7588206276 is almost 99 feet long, opening bid is $16. I've had good luck finding 6-inch belting at auctions or farm sales. Good luck -- I hope you find what you need, and at a civilized price. -- Maine Fordson

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
