Poor man's garden hiller

[Ford850]

That's a nice setup Jinman. It would work great for potatoes, starting with a wide hill. Then bringing the discs in a couple inches per side to hill the plants. I guess that would work for any plants that can be hilled actually.

You're planting a single row per pass then? What spacing is that? Your tires do make a nice walking path between rows.

For people that like to do projects like this, We have a few of the used Double C-Shanks with clamps and some have good point on them for $25 each or 5 for $100. The stems have 1 1/4 inch diameter stems on them. Ken Sweet

The King types seem to be a bit more expensive and have a 6-bolt bearing ring that attaches to the disc. I guess if you use them a lot, the quality might be an issue, but the Blanton type I have seem very sturdy and work well for my once-per-year application. I don't think I'll ever wear them out.

BTW: Agri-Supply carries repair/replacement parts for both types.

That is what I thought but didn't know for sure, thanks. We use our hillers and cultivators about 6-8 hours a year for row making and adding dirt to the rows, until the plants get too high. If the Blanton works for you it would work fine for me as well, I'm sure.
