AZLE TX,
Picked up a GS1560 for my new L2501. What a great implement for roads and driveways. I highly recommend it and wish I had picked one up sooner.

GS1560 sacarifiers aren't long enough for what I want to do in the field to start an arena so I had the wife pick up a single tine subsoiler from Tractor Supply.

It worked. I think Country Line hires blind welders. I rate it 2 out of 5 stars. I hope I don't end up having to do a lot of repair work on it. Plenty of steel and the design does what it is supposed to do. Powder coat is already flaking off in some spots. Just poor quality control. It was the only one I could find in a 50 mile radius.

I spent about an hour running crosscut and diagonal furrows on a 66' x 138' outdoor arena. Tore it up pretty good, now things have to dry out. Furrows went down about 18". Tractor did fine, never got bogged down even in the heavier clay sections. Had to use 4WD to keep from spinning tires and bounced around a lot on the uneven soil.

I think I will likely end up with a chain harrow to keep the greenery out.
