Spent some fab time in the barn, I raised the rear remote controls and added 1" knobs, and I'm happy with the way this feels now.

I ordered Brotec wheel spacers for the MX, 2 inch front and 3inch rear.
Then I finished my seat mod with the seat belt installation.

A while back I got an 84" Titan Landplane. I use it mainly for weed abatement. It is pretty good at scarping flat areas clear of weeds. That's a tactic we use to create and maintain firebreaks around the house.
I felt it needed more weight. 565 pounds spread over 2 7ft blades and wide side skids wasn't enough. I added a pipe and a couple of stops to carry a steel drum of water.
This will double the down force when the barrel is full. If for some reason I don't need the weight I can drain the barrel and lift it out of there.

Mine are all sleeping in the big barn.

There are way too many people here already.

Interesting, please post back as to how that works out for you! We have a lot of drive way to keep free of weeds in and I'm tired of spraying roundup. I've been looking at land planes but they are hard to find used. May end up ordering one.

You need weight. This one is 5' wide and 650 lbs and does OK with parking area and road edge weeds. Heavier would not hurt.

4 additional remotes added. Now for that nifty hydraulic scrape blade from EA to get here.
