Carry-All conversion to Bedder

[jake98]

Going to weld this up to pull the bedder/hiller attachment for raising garden beds. Normally the bedder attachment goes on a cultivator, but not having one, or my own garden yet, the carry-all (previously converted to a trailer mover) is once again to be the victim.
The disk is just sitting there to show it.

Make sure you post some pics after you finish.. I looked at a carry all the other day from KK.. It was $89.. I can hardly make one much cheaper than that? looks like a good base for many things..

Will you be able to take it on and off once you are done?

Yeah, the bedder bolts on so I just needed to have something wide enough to line up with the ends of it. I'm not much of a welder but I'll get a little practice with it.

Melting metal is pretty fun and kindaa easy if you are not wanting a stack of dimes look.. Just slap some paint on it and another coat and one more

Carryall frames are so versatile! I use mine for a sprayer tank platform among other things. I welded some heavy duty dollies on the trailing end almost like anti-scalping wheels so it doesn't rut/drag. Also it rolls on the garage floor when down.

Really anxious to see what you come up with Andy.

Better get it while you can for that price:

This is how it ended up. I think it should work.

I built my bedder on a bar with a 2 inch piece of stock sticking out like a trailer hitch - it slides into a 2 inch receiver hitch i mount on the three point

Where did you find the shank mounts for the hiller disc?

After buying the parts, and making the thing up, I didn't even try it out. The 'family farm' is 1.5 hrs. away, and my 85 years young mom is scaling back her gardening operation. It didn't make sense to switch impliments for a couple rows, I thought.
