Thanks for the kind words everyone. That's a good idea about putting a bucket tooth over the point, I didn't think of that. I was going to hit it with some hard weld and grind it back in if it wears to much. When everything dries up around here I'll report back let everyone know how it works, good or bad. I can't take credit for all the welding, I started welding it up and my buddy told me "let me clean those up" and finished them for me. I'll never argue with a guy who can run a bead like that. He's probably one of the best I've ever seen, even better with aluminum. I got the idea of using the plow frame from TBN so I guess the only thing I've done was cut/machine some steel to make them. I hope the old 3000 has enough HP to pull them. It pulls the (2) bottom plow really easy so we shall see.
@ Mac, that's a really nice set up you have. I tried looking at tractor data for your Pacer Hp but I couldn't find any info. It looks like its a big tractor. Does it struggle to pull the three shank subsoiler?
Rio Grande, I would think 3/4 would be thick enough as long as you have some trips. Just in case you hit something. I used 1" because that's what my entire plow frame is made of and that's the thickness where the plows get bolted to.
Here's the mole I'm gonna try to pull with it. I still have to grind an angle on it and short'n up the chain some but here it is. It was used to lift big parallels at work, someone busted the chain on the other side so they threw them away. I went to the welder and had him attach a plug on the end of it. Sorry, I tried to shrink the pictures and rotate them but I don't know how to do that. I can barely make this thing work sometimes.
GREAT JOB!
