I have been looking at this one by Hay King:

I'm wondering, with all the junk I got around here if I could get the points and standards to make one. I've looked all over the net and haven't had any luck.
I don't really need openers here. I just need to break the soil open and fix the hardpan problem. Right now it is so hard that a posthole digger just skips along the surface.
My pasture is going on three years old now and it's giant Bermuda. It is baled 4 times during the summer and grazed by the horses till it peters out in November usually.

I have a 2 inch toolbar with 6 middlebusters mounted on it that I wanted to use.
I thought of mounting 6 of these renovator shanks on it in line. I just don't know where to find them at. Any ideas?

Try Anhydrous Ammonia injector knives- they look similar to that.:cool:

Use flatbar as shanks, and weld thick truck leaf springs to them as chisels: Spring steel is a very good wear resistant substitute for manganese e.g.
