(Jeff Weaver's notes)

Need to add counter weight attachment to the rear of tractor. Slow the blade revolutions down to slow crawl with some form of pulley system to increase torque. Can create two of the blades to be identical, use 2" - 4" spacers to separate blades, and weld on jagged plates from one tooth the the other to look something like this ^^^^. Think - a bucket versus a blade, and slow is steady, steady is smooth, smooth is fast.
