1. An apparatus for leveling soil and the like, comprising:

  • a generally rectangular frame including a leading transverse, elongate scraper member and a plurality of trailing transverse elongate ground-engaging members fixedly secured in mutually spaced-apart relationship between a pair of longitudinal side members and at least one longitudinal intermediate member;

    the scraper member including a lower edge and each ground-engaging member including a lower surface, with the lower edge of the scraper member and the lower surfaces of the ground-engaging members of said frame being substantially co-planar;

    means mounted on said frame for releasably connecting the apparatus to a draft means;

    a plurality of scarifiers depending in mutually spaced apart relationship adjacent to the scraper member of said frame;

    means for supporting said scarifiers on said frame for pivotal movement between forward and rearward positions, the scraper member and adjacent ground-engaging member of said frame being spaced apart sufficiently to permit forward pivoting of said scarifiers out of ground engagement upon reversal of the apparatus;

    means for supporting said scarifiers for vertical movement between raised and lowered positions;

    means associated with said scarifiers for controlling pivotal orientation of said scarifiers in the rearward positions during vertical positioning thereof; and

    means connected to said support means for selectively adjusting vertical positioning and thus penetration depth of said scarifiers relative to the soil between the raised and lowered positions.
