Will it cut the ground?

[PetesPonies1 117]

The answer is . .YES!  You can't tell, but the ground was unbothered. I cut between 4 and 6 inches off in a short time. I was wondering if I could actually get the ground engaged enough to cut in, not just move dirt around from a pile, etc. The little boy did well; 877. I do wish the blade height was more easily adjusted, rather than up or down. Of course down is adjusted with the knob. . . but if you've done this, you know what I mean. I'm adjusting the knob as much as I am moving forward and backwards  :) But over all, no complaints.  I'm building a  tractor shed to house the toys.

Tilting the blade back will give it more dig, tilting the blade forward will give it more skid/push without digging in.

Blade tilt adjustment is the holes on the back of the blade for the trip springs

Excellent work. 

The more you use that Horse the more you'll be impressed. 

They really are quite capable.

Just one of the reasons I only use hydros.

Did the same work on my yard to level topsoil and remove a bed of pachysandra.  Saved my back from much turmoil.  Well done.

Was there a good root system of grass here, or loose/sandy loam?  We have enough clay in the soil, once the grass breaks loose it gets slimy.

Once I break through the grass/roots,  it's sandy. Roots from nearby trees were messing with me, but the soil is easy to dig once you're down a couple inches.
