JML, Honestly can't tell you how deep the scarifiers are. I put them all the way down and ran one pass with just the scarifiers digging to break up the ground, I held the cutting edge just above the ground. Second pass I would drop the blade and let it bury as deep as it would go. The second pass is when I could stop my tractor. Mine is the standard 6' King Kutter that TSC use to sell. I imagine they were 4" or so at least. I used mine mostly for earth shaping vs light grading. The clay soil we have here in mid-Michigan is anything but easy to rip up. Heck, I even live in Clayton Township.
The hitch was destroyed when I bought it, I rebuilt it with 1 1/2 and 2" square tubing. Weak link was the cat I pins. If I would change one thing, I would weld a second set of tabs on for the lower three point and use slide thru pins to prevent the bending.
If I remember correctly, I used 1 1/2 x 3 channel between the cat I pins, a 2x2 as an upright and 1 1/2 angled from the top link down to the lower pins. I straightened the original 1/2 x 3 straps that run from the top link to the back of the box blade. To date nothing has broke. I've ripped up probably 500 yards of ground with it.
I'd snap a pic of the hitch but it is still hibernating under a snow drift.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
