Wow, that's a nice one. Built pretty stout too. Thanks for sharing the pic.
2" x 1/2" square tubing is what my hiller bedder is made of. Standard size from what I can see.
3/16 square tubing, I think is too light for building it.
Here is mine off of ebay with 2 extra discs. That piece in the middle was something I tried out for smoothing - coming off.

I think this year for smoothing the top of the row I'm going to try attaching a short drag of chainlink fence.... Regards, Chris
Folks around here area getting into a process that has a hiller and some sort of plastic that is put down first then dirt hilled over the sides of the plastic and right off the center is some sort of plastic hose. Real thin has tinny holes in it that you hook up to a water hose. Sort of like a soaker hose. My dad was telling me about a guy planted his corn like that the same time as my dad and his was ready way before my dads was. He said he also produced more corn. Haven't seen any of the equipment like this. He did say it was sort of a pain to plant. You have to plant through the plastic somehow.
