Land plane attachment with mechanical ripper

A land plane with a ripper, comprising:

• a plane portion including at least two cutter bars;
• a ripper mechanism comprising a ripper bar assembly having ripper teeth that are shiftable between a downwardly extended orientation in which the ripper teeth extend downwardly beyond the at least two cutter bars thereby facilitating ground engaging contact of the ripper teeth and a retracted orientation in which the ripper teeth are above the at least two cutter bars;
• the ripper mechanism further comprising a latching mechanism configured to extend the ripper teeth in the downwardly extended orientation wherein the ripper teeth are in the extended orientation;
• and
• a reset bar extending outwardly away from the plane portion and operably coupled to the latching mechanism, the reset bar being shiftable between a first position wherein the ripper teeth are secured in the retracted orientation by the latching mechanism and a second position wherein the ripper teeth are in the extended position by the latching mechanism, the reset bar being positioned and configured so that the reset bar is manipulable between the first position and the second position by being selectively brought into contact with the ground by manipulation of the land plane when the land plane is operably coupled to lift arms of an implement carrier.
