Well, I must say I am not familiar with these as a stand alone unit. Mine are integrated in to a box blade. I would think that this unit would be on the light side to do any real work, however, it has a nice design feature to add extra weight to it. You are correct that ground tilling is tough work, but unless you really do something out of the ordinary you should be fine. Give your friends unit a try. Sure would like to here about your application and how it worked.

Yes I would!
Matt, this is the never ending battle of attachments:
Lots of features;
Lots of attachments;
Not much money.
Pick any two. (I lean towards the last two).
I have the scarifiers on my box blade. With the hydraulic top link, I can tilt it up and get some good digging in. The depth is adjustable. I did not get the hydraulic scarifier feature on my box blade, I think Steve (Jenkinsph) did. This lets you raise and lower them remotely. Sweet! But I knew I would not be using it enough to justify that.
When it was time to get the land plane, I did not get the scarifiers because I had them on the box blade. And on the land plane, I got the cheapest one- no adjustable angle on the blades or adjustable blade height, and the length was not as long as I might have liked.
But the money saved with this approach lets me have a landscape rake (York rake). And a small tiller. Trade-offs, trade-offs.
Fortunately, when it comes to these trade-offs the only way to loose is to not play (in the dirt). Side note, this is the opposite of dealing with many types of conflict where the only way to win is to not play.
Glad you got the job done :thumbup1gif: !
Here are some pictures of my box blade and landscape rake so Randy won't have to be grumpy today....
