6 years ago, I took a 6' box blade, removed the cutting edges, welded a 12" Channel to the bottom, that hung below the sides 12". Then welded 5 brackets that had a 3" hole in one end(Closest to tractor). I threaded the slicks on a 3" pipe, and put that thru the holes so 4 slicks would drag from the pipe. The 12" Channel rode on top of the slicks to provide a firm downforce. Then I put brackets behind the unit to hold the slicks neatly. We then load the box blade with cement blocks for extra downforce. (It makes it quieter if you take rubber and line the area where the blocks lay.) It takes a tractor about 50 horse to pull it.
