Not sure of the correct name of this attachment but it's made with 2 -48" x12" side rails. It has two angles that weld to bottom that are caddy corered from each other and then it has the 3 point attachment welded on the top side of the beams. The two angles that are welded on bottom has blades mounted on them to cut My question is does anyone know how much of the blade should be below the main frame. Thanks

Might make it adjustable, and then pick the height by trial and error.

Took me a bit to decipher the "caddy corered" but kitty cornered is what I came up with. I can only see one angled blade. Is there another to be added?

You might find out that the lower 3 point connections are located too high. I did that with mine and it wanted to tip forward even though it weighs 700 lbs.

Other than that it looks good.

I wish I could weld like Aubrey foster.

I like your grader - nice job. I think you will like it very much.
I put my blades down 3/4" which works fine for me. Wish they were adjustable though, because they wear.
