What ever happened to ???

[Sarge]

There was a post months back from a member that was building his own rock picker-upper thingy. He had submitted a few pic's of the progress, but nothing for months??? Also, my kingdom to the individual that builds their own power rake so we can snub our nose at the crazy prices of these things /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My kingdom is a 2 year old log house on 5 acres of wooded land /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Problem is that you will have to arm wrestle the bank for ownership /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ron,
I happen to have one 5' and two 6' rear rollers for pulverizers on hand, they are new. would this be of some interest? I needed a pulverizer to quick to build one so I bought a 7' model.

Where did you find the rollers? I have a project in mind for compacting soil after broad cast seeding....

john, you do not want to "compact" the soil, just slightly press it so that the seed makes contact with the soil, but can still push itself up and through the surface. A very good piece of equipment for this (and to be honest my sole reason for posting, because I was about to pose the question on a new thread!!!) is a roller made from old car wheels. My problem is that whilst I was familiar with these when I lived in Australia, I cannot remmebr the details of cramping the wheels together and the end pieces that led to the tractor hitch. Anybody know, or even suggest possibilities. Remember bearings are virtually unobtainable here, although car wheel hubs should be OK. Old McDonald.
