Some of ya'll were close, some right... Most people that have seen it think it is a tiller or a clod-beater. Actually it is a Mott 88" Hammer Knife Mower, AKA a "Flail Mower". It looks rough but it has new bearings and knives. It cuts like a hybrid between a bushhog with sharp blades and a finishing mower. I have the coarse blades on it, which leave a slight "tepee" effect. There are fine knives that will rival finishing mowers. Have not burried if down in tall stuff yet, I may not have enough grunt.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
