Re: New project 1975 Ford 5000
well it's been a few weeks and been busy,
It is time to get some potatoes in the ground, all these years I have used a hoe..or is it Ho' to dig rows...that sucks so I built this "row-er" or what ever it is called
I purchased 2 row crop sweeper things from Agri supply, main purpose was to use them on my hiller etc to break up the dirt that was compacted by my tires, I thought as a went looking for ho's the other morning...that sounds bad hugh :laughing: how to do this with my tractor?
I saw them laying on the trailer and said "if I could hold them behind tractor and pull them..." out came cutoff wheels, grinder and welder
I needed an adjustable clamps so I welded this up and used pennies for a .06 gap..
here it is
it is designed to slip into my 2" rec. setup I built a few weeks ago
Bent to shape after first use
it worked great!
I bought the digger spade blade thingies from Agrisupply, great folks so far!
Next? is to finish up my hiller today, and put out some more tators...
and then move on to ROPS and a cooler rack
