In the same respect it is also a show not real life, totally hypothetical. Do you read the disclaimer at the end of these shows?

Laws here are pretty flexible so long as the box doesn't enter a vehicle when hit all is okay. I made mine to fit on thin tubing almost like pop can material. Still strong enough to take a direct hit with a bat but can crumple when hit by a 3000# car. Tube will bend at ground level dropping the...

I have or had in this case a real nice mail box until I noticed it flattened by some vandals. Second time this year. So being a welder I had some plate steel laying around decided to build a heavy duty mail box. I made a square box with lid welded to a piece of 1/4'' wall 3" square tubing all...

The picture above in the first thread is of a half yard home made scraper the fellow has an 18 hp lawn tractor pulling it. Looking on the web I can handle 1.5 yard bucket with my tractor at least so they say. I would think the major hp draw will be from the bucket cutting into the ground. From...

With a closer inspection of your pictures I believe I understand how it works, see if I am right. 3pt hitch lifts the scraper to unload the scraper and to dig into the earth. Front box area stops scraper from digging and to hold earth in bucket. Cable over top of scraper is tied to trip lever...

trrjohn, Do you have any drawings on how to build your scraper? I could use a unit like you have there.
