great tool :directions...not so much..improvements???
First, I want to say this little harrow works, and works well. With just one cinderblock on board, this harrow leveled out my gravel driveway nicely. I'm impressed! Now the directions leave a lot to be desired. 1. My R and L long angle pieces were labeled incorrectly - R was L and L was R. 2. There were not two holes drilled in the long angle piece to join R ro L but only one. I had to drill the second hole myself. 3. In this country we don't use "spacers" under bolts, we use washers. The hardware kit included both lock washers and flat washers, but the directions niether show when to use which or identify the lock washers at all in the parts list ??? Now a couple of suggestions I think would really improve a fine product: 1. The hitch pin included in the kit is useless. You've got the two blades of the tongue and the tractor hitch to pass through with that short little hitch pin you include...that makes it almost impossible to hitch up if you are at any angle to the tongue when you hitch up. a hitch pin 3 inches longer would be so much more workable! 2. The joint where the tongue connects to the harrow needs to be widened about 1/4 inch to accomodate a washer on either side of the tongue to lessen the wear and tear on this heavy use joint. I added a big flat washer on either side outside of the joint on the harrow, but that is not going to be as effective as washers on the inside of the joint. 3.The space for adding cinderblocks is a bit too wide. I think cinderblocks are a standard size, and it would save having to tie these cinderblocks down if you could make these the correct width so you could just add them and they wouldn't slide around. But with all these caveates, I certainly recommend this handy, effective tool.
