Garden Bedder Prototype

[IslandTractor]

I am looking to replace some U-bolts on a cultivator of mine and I am having trouble locating the correct size. The size used on these bedders, assuming the shank rod diameter is 1 1/4", look to be the correct size. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you tried Tractor Supply?

This whole piece is cut out of high quality plate steel and holes are punched out. Then bent or broke in a press break making this a more expensive to build, but an improved design that will last. When you tighten the Ubolts, you get a firm grip from letting the bedder discs turn or twist. The style you spoke about on the Leinbach GB-48, if you happen to overtighten the set screw, it can pull the nut off the welded tube.

Either way, it is 4 nuts to loosen and remove to change bed width. To change the angle you simply loosen the bolts and turn then tighten. The one you are looking at is the Everything Attachments GB-60, and the comparison unit would be the Leinbach FB-60 which uses the same Ubolts, but our implement has two rows instead of one to make the stem and bedder disc rigid.

Attached is the GB-50 prototype (shown with optional furrowing attachment that is really close to completion. It is quick hitch compatible as well, has narrow and wide pins, and uses one knuckle instead of two so that would take some work out of it for you.:thumbsup:

Could this be used to pull a terrace in a pasture with out having to plow/disc first?

Good Idea for a secondary use . . . I will have to try it and see what happens.

I was very interested in these bedders but the DIY guy in me just had to try my hand at building my own. in doing so I figured I may as well do a cost sheet to see what if anything I would save building my own as apposed to buying one from Ted. I have a lot of respect for Ted and enjoy his videos although we have never met and I don't know him he seems very honest. so I made a video of the entire deal from start to finish with a final video that compares cost savings and my final thoughts. I hope its ok to post the link here so you guys and see it and make your own judgment.
