Yes. I just have not got around to it yet. This project can be made with just a drill, welder, and cutting wheel on a grinder. Most steel suppliers can cut the parts to length for you at a small fee.

Much appreciated. Can you get any down pressure with it or is it just the weight of the box that's scraping? Are you adding slots to the square tube for ripper teeth?

Yes, l can get down pressure. And as far as rippers go I can add them but I'm not sure if I'm going to on this one

Some action shots from today. I had to clean up the yard, first I plowed the whole thing then ran the box. It worked better then I expected.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the point of the box? Is there some sort of use for this like to roll over the gravel on driveways as well? My parents have a gravel drive and it is starting to get overgrown and needs to be turned....

The point of the box is it holds the material your handling so it can be spread evenly. A regular blade has a tendency to let the material "roll" off the ends of the blade. If you need to roll over the gravel in a drive, a regular blade that can be angled is what you need.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
