I have frontier 3pt 6ft field cultivator that i aquired thru a trade and i would like to put a leveling attachment on it. I have a heavy chain mat that i pull right now and it does ok in my clay dirt. Has anyone built or bought a buster bar or rolling baskets for this cultivatos? I would appriate any pics if anyone has any.

I have one of these cultivators and would question whether it would have the dirt cut up enough to use a rolling basket. Ground conditions would have to be just right. A bar or comb with aggressive teeth hinged over the frame might help and would not interfere with the 3pt operation.
The dirt gets broken up real good with a disc first.I mainly use it as a finishing tool before i row up my garden. All the farmers around me use the unverferth perferta II field cultivator with rolling baskets as a finishing tool so i wouldnt think mine would be any different. The chisel points have been changed to the danish tine type sweeps already so that hopes it to.

If the ground is worked up enough then a rolling basket may work for you. I use a land plane grader blade in most of my jobs to get the ground smooth and remove any depressions or cut off mounds. I use a 3ph spike tooth harrow afterwards to cover seeds and to remove any other marks.
If you do build a rolling basket it would be good to see how it works out for you.

I built this setup a few yrs back and absolutely love it!!!! Works wonders in my horse corrals when I break it up. The roller basket harrows can be tricky to build but not too bad. Here is the full build thread. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/171995-s-tine-cultivator-build.html
Hope that helps some.

First couple pics are from some work I did in one pasture. It didn't do so well on root clumps but the regular drag harrow took care of those. Last pics are from a ball diamond I helped rehab. The diamond was as hard as the city street when I started. Took multiple trips in different directions to break it up but as you can see it busted the clods down nicely.
