BR,
What's your tine spacing? Ya know I drool everytime I see photos of your plasma cutting.

Hi Brandi ... 8" OC. Its hard to make up ones mind what the "perfect" spacing is ... I'll have to let u know when I get to using it if that 8" is the magic number !!!!!

Mine is 9 inches and it is too wide. If I had one made, it would be 7 inch spacing, or even 6 inch spacing. Picking huge limbs are a breeze. It's all my small branches that are a pain to pick up.
hugs, Brandi

I'm thinking of making "removable" short tines to put in between ??? Should not be to hard to do ... round the front to match the pipe ... and notch the back to fit the frame simply slip them in.

Looks good! My "lids" are further apart. I like the idea of removable tines. More tines equals more small limbs being picked up. But more tines also means more dirt being picked up too.

Don't you think the lids are close??

Looks great! Did you powder coat? The lids look a little close, but should be totally functional. What kind of plas table/machine are you running?

Good work!

Regards,

Chris
