About 23 years ago in high school I used to work for my neighbor mowing grass + random yard work. One day he brought home his brother's Deere 1070 with Loader and 3pt attachment. I didn't think anything of it at the time because I didn't know any better but to this day I have never seen such an implement (could not find anything after searching images etc.) and wonder what it is called.
Description: ~5' wide PTO implement that had 4-6 individual "mixing" (think kitchen aide or drill press) type bits facing down in a row with two solid teeth each that would spin and go straight down into the ground, about 6" in diameter each with the individual teeth evenly spaced near the outsider diameter of each spindle. The teeth would stir the dirt, and break up clods and clay. Kind of like a bunch of tillers but instead of being on the horizontal plane, it was on the vertical, and didn't spin very fast, just a relatively slow mixing speed if I recall. I remember it well as I watched my neighbor first using it, just dragging it on the ground with no PTO engaged, and it just scraped across the ground. I told him that I noticed it had a PTO shaft and he might want to try engaging it to get it to work better.. It sank right into the ground once the teeth were spinning.
Anyone know?
