my newest toys Row hippers Middlebuster 3pt tool bar !

KingDelta5 · Mar 15, 2013

Bought some tools a Cajun had rigged up under a cub . A set of heavy hippers and the toolbar for the cub . Cut the toolbar structure up and made a 3 pt hitch out of it ! It is 4" x 1"Flat Bar Super Heavy Duty ! I need a couple of disc blades and a proper bumper washer and some paint ! If anyone knows anything about these hippers I would be happy to hear about it ! They have roller bearings and look to have been painted green at one time ! TNX

KingDelta, that's good as snuff and not half as dusty.

I've never seen a rig like that but it would be great to run your rows and hill the dirt at the same time. Then run back across it with a planter, even a push one like I use, job well done.

I've built or converted all of my plowing, cultivating, raking equipment. It's a lot cheaper than buying it new, straight out. It also gets the job done just as well or better, according to how you custom rig it.

That middle buster would work well to weld a piece of 2x2 tubing to it and work it out of a reciever hitch for your tractor. My lay-off plow, middle buster and potatoe plow all work out of mine. Simple to build and easier to change out.

I've got 2 gangs of 'rolling cultivators' and 4 cultivator legs that bolt on to a angle iron frame I need to build. I've also got a set of hillers and a set of 140 Farmall rakes I can work off of it too. I just need to build them. Maybe I'll get inspired from looking at yours...lol.

Tnx for the reply ! That middlebuster is about 4 foot tall and weighes at least 150 pounds easy ! I have it all together on the toolbar and can unhook it and it stands up nice . I Have been searching for a set of heavy row hippers for a while ! Hard to find around here ! The best to you and yours !

ahhh, I see Delta, already got it rigged it just isn't attached in the pics. Good deal.

I don't know what you paid for that rig but it looks heavier built than what you'd buy new today.

My wife does not understand why I paid what I paid for such old rusty steel ! I try and explain to her that this is old high quality steel that has slept outside on the ground for the last 50 years or more and still be in really great shape . hillers like these can make a row on hard unworked ground !
