Anybody here ever use a belly mount scrape blade on ANY type of lawn tractor? The 124 I got last week has a homemade one. I haven't had time to check it over good, just to play with it for about 10 minutes. I think the guy that built it has it rigged up to provide down pressure. The reason I say that is it will stop the machine even on hard gravel driveway where it can only get a 1/4" bite at most. I tried it again to fix a wash in a road on the back of the farm, it did better, but not great. My question is how well do these things work and do they typically float, have hydraulic down pressure (mine is hydraulic lift), or do they use a spring to split the difference? I've never used a lawnmower to do anything outside of mowing grass so my expectations may be too lofty as my background for this type of stuff is with farm tractors.
