I think that is really cool. What specific use did you make that for? Can you show a video of it working for the purpose that you designed it for?

ahhhhh.... might could call it a belly plane instead of a belly plow. Looks like it is for smoothing the surface of a horse riding arena. (AKA: Riding Range)

Confused why would you want it at the belly and not behind the tractor? Under belly you leave one set of wheel tracks exposed as you make passes.

Not for a riding arena I dont think if you look at it there would be a windrow in the middle,, might be good to hilling taters maybe,, But I doubt thats what its for,,guess I will just have to wait and see

I think I get it, horses always pile up the sand close to the walls and in the corners, and no drag I've run across can pull it far enough into the middle so it can be smoothed out. Always requires some hand work. Looks like his invention goes both down and laterally to scrape the sand back under the tractor where a following drag would smooth it out. Cool!
