HR,
You've got some great looking tools there. I especially appreciate the York rake as we tried buliding one years ago to rake the stones out of our motorcycle track. We welded springtooth drag teeth to or horsedrawn grader and popped teeth all over the place. Every one broke at the weld. Nobody told us about welding on spring steel. Oh well, live and learn!!!

I just made the gauge wheels on that rake, looked easy enough to try the whole thing though... The rake was only $300ish, for that price they can build it! They wanted almost that much for the gauge wheels. I could do those pretty easy and cheap.

Quick set of front counter weights I put together. I use them when I'm brush hogging. Can be put on or off in 5 minutes.

:confused2:WOW! Earth Shattering. Somebody get this guy a medal! :laughing:

Where in the world are you bush hogging ( your back yard) ? Around here that wouldn't last to long, way to low to the ground. Its a nice looking weight, just too low and if you put it where you should have it there goes your 5 mins to put on.

setup.

Maybe you could show examples of other implements you have created to show you are not just fishing and the group will be more inclined to show you the better stuff.

I'll bite, it's all about sharing ideas here isn't it?

Aerator, Hydraulic chute rotator, toothbar, QA forks, root/grapple rake, snow wing, rear counter weight, hydraulic dump, QA snowplow, there are many others but anyone can build whatever they want if they put their mind and their wallet to it.

Enjoy
Steve
