Home built hiller

[Car Doc]

Yeah I have some rotors that fit perfect only prob is they are 11" or so I had my doubts they would be big enough? The parts guys at JD are looking around for me a couple 16 take off discs.

They don't have any discs in the shop being rebuilt now but there may be a couple in a corner somewhere or in the iron truck I will look there tonite after work and look myself. I hope they have some I am ready to get in the dirt looks like I could this wknd if I had it ready so I am going to kick it in high gear. :thumbsup:

No prob on the side conversations Clemson things come up and take off in directions unknown fine with me that's pretty much how I live. :laughing:

Glad you have good insurance hang onto it you are one of the fortunate ones and use it keep your health as long as you can! I am going to keep my true beliefs about the new insurance rules to myself it would get my thread deleted before I can post some garden pics of a working project. :laughing:

Other than some secret tax revenue things that were just finding out about it all the new bill is, is that it forces you to buy insurance. I have heard that its going to cost about 18K for the median road plan. If you make to little which I don't think has been specified you will get some degree of subsidy depending upon a scale and your income. You may get a small subsidy even with what I envision your income being but it may not be much, say $200/month. I think I heard that even a family of X making 60-80k gets a subsidy. They would have to, or else they would have insurance anyway???

I wil pray for your health Doc. My uncle got forced into early retirement and too decided not to pay the $1000/month insurance, he then had a heartattack that first year and had like triple bypass. Now he is left with like $200k med bills that he basically pays a similar amount a month on???

Thanks for the kind words! I will be talking to my accountant when he has our taxes done for the year and see whats in store for us or me anyway I am stubborn and will fight it all the way just on principle I don't like socialism.

Actually I have an accident plan and a major medical plan thats is for cancer, heart attack those kind of things. In my line of work everything that happens to me is an accident of sorts or at least thats my story. Wont know what my fine will be for a little while yet if any but I wont be paying it if I can find a way out.

at least u have the major stuf covered it sounds like, we can all find a way to pay for broken bones or a bad gall bladder but those bypasses are what can make u loose it all.

Yup it can happen any day to any of us all we can do is hope we stay well. I read this on a motorcycle guardian bell: "Don't ride faster than your angel can fly." I thought that was a good way to look at it.

Here are some pics of my 3pt frame/toolbar I welded together yesterday to mount my hillers on and also to use as a cultivator. I loosely attached a hiller and set an s-tine on the bar to help the imagination. I think I'm going to paint it first, so I don't want to attach things and then have to take them off to paint. It's still too early for much gardening here in Ohio, so I have some time.

[Car Doc]

I got a couple used discs they are wore down to 19" I am real happy to have them to get going on this project. Its also getting ready to storm for a couple days with lows in the mid 20's highs in the 60's. Storm chasers from Okla are situated in north central KS since yesterday that is never a good sign.

Dang this Kansas weather cant get a break least I have a few extra days to build it thats the only good thing and some moisture but we don't need hail and tornadoes.

Just wondering why you welded the tool bar to the 3ph frame? With clamps you can have different tool setups on toolbars and just unclamp one and clamp on the next without breaking setup an readjusting each tool. Saves time and work when you mount a simple pipe stand to support tool when unclamped
