Thanks for the input. It is muddy right now. I tried it today and it did ball up some mud, but it was pulling up A LOT of debris. I feel it is going to have to be VERY dry to make it work without picking up a lot of dirt.
As for the spacing, I roughly designed this from someone else's design. They had 6.5" spacing, I have 6" on the first two rows and 7" on the rear (it also has teeth facing both ways). If I cut out half the teeth I feel I will miss a lot of trash.
This is experimental and I am sure it will require some "Tweeking" before it functions like I want. I already see that I hydraulic top link is in my future. I had problems getting it off the trailer, could not lift it high enough. I had to find a combination of uneven ground to allow me to back it off! I am going to convert this to a DOVETAIL one day, another topic.
As for the burning, I was planning to use my loader and the rear facing teeth to crowd the pile in to a degree. I could not see paying $80.00/HR for a dozer guy to burn the piles. I may call him again after I burn to do what I cannot. I think if I had a hydraulic top link I could lift it up and drag/scatter the remains then repile with the rake and FEL. I may be dreaming big, there are many stumps in the piles.

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
