I've been wanting to make or buy something to maintain the driveway and occasionally groom fresh earth such as building sites or new lawns. My assumption was that a drag combined with a box blade was my best bet. Not sure how smooth a job a box blade will do in the hands of an inexperienced operator, so was thinking about building my own rig. That is, until I found this. I like the looks of it, but haven't dared ask how much it cost.
What do you all think? Does anyone here have one of these ABI TR3 rigs or something like it? Is there an open source design I could copy under public license? Wouldn't mind whipping it up in CAD for home fabrication, but lack experience to know what works and what does not. Your thoughts on what is important for such a piece of machinery to work well in multi-purpose environments would be most welcome.
I hope there isn't already a thread (or more) on the subject that I missed, but if so feel free to redirect the conversation. My search efforts did not reveal any relevant discussions.
