This tool has me stumped!

[Redbug]

I've never see one of those things.

I could see running one of those things down a couple rows at a time that had been pushed up by the dozer for planting pines. Many times the rows are too rough and are planted by hand using a dibble bar. Something like that would smooth the rows out.

Just a guess for an application.

Ginseng!

Hey doesnt this one look a lot like it

Ginseng Bed Former,Agriculture, Horticulture, Irrigation Machinery & Implements,New Delhi,Delhi,India,ID: 1507062791

It certainly does what it does I suppose

I see standard 6 ft row centers. How wide a bed does it create? I suppose somone could use it to cultivate lettuce or onions other similar crop rows maybe even form strawberry beds whatever would benifit from a slighly raised profile

I see a few variations on the internet. Spring trip bed former is one name. Both Reeki and Pearson have a similiar design for potatoes. Reekies call bed former, two furrow plough potato ridger cultivator. Another place calls theirs a sledge bed former and says 'sledge' type bed formers are for growers who wish to minimise soil tillage in fragile or compacting soils.

Alot of the rice fields here in southeast Texas uses something like that to set their levy for flooding parts of the field,, when you have a rice field that is 5 miles long and 3 miles wide,, you flood different parts at a time.. Lou

Hey Ginsing farming is suppossed to be big bucks!

That deserves a serious look

I started with bed shaper but the terminolgy started lending itself towards bed formers...then spring trip design...then...lol!
The manufacturing market seems to be more overseas.


Ain't the internet great!
Glad I could help
