Keulavator L3130

[smittyd3]

Hi,
I am thinking about a Keulavator cultivator for the L3130. Does anyone out there use one on a tractor compatible with a 3130?
I have only seen a Keulavator on the internet @ the Agri-Supply site.
Thanks,
Smitty

I looked at them and really like them, but decided to make one since I'd only use it for my garden. I had an old front axle from a Sears rider and a couple of disc blades and came up with a contraption that works better than I expected. I removed the tires and welded the disc blades to the outter edge of the rims and replaced the tie rod with an adjustable turnbuckle. I had to add a couple of weights and the last picture is where I tried it out before I cleaned it up and painted it.

Milkman, that looks really good. Raised beds must be fun to make.

That was my first try at that, and it was fun, I already had my potatoes in the ground and that row was for my sweet potatoes. This year I will use it for all my potatoes and hope it will help keep some of them from coming to the top and turning green, though I don't have a lot of that. I'd like to do some parsnips this year too, oh well, just dreaming with all this gloomy weather.

I have one coming from ASC that is supposed to arrive this week. It will be used on my L3400. Here is what I ended up ordering. When it comes in and gets assembled I will give you my impression.

Thanks Guys.
The frontend of the mower works really great.
I will probably get the Keluvator frame, I already have the disk hillers and a couple of IH feet that didn't go with my 140 Farmall when I sold it.
I will be interested in how the rolling cultivators work that you ordered Wayne. I may get them also.
Thanks for the replies.
Wayne I'd like to check back and see how yours is doing after you get it set up.
Thanks again,
Smitty
