Row hipper/builder manufacturers

[Big_Cajun]

I've been doing some surfing on the internet for a single row hipper that would attach to my 3pt. I drive a Kubota M7040 (68 engine HP) and was wondering if anybody could help me locate a manufacturer.

Also looking for a 3pt. disc harrow as well as a wheeled drag type.

Any help would be appreciated.

Big_Cajun,
I saw a small one row (hipper) unit at Progressive Equipment in Cecilia a few months ago, it appeared to be painted similar to "Howse" brand equipment. It had a cat I three point hitch and I suspect your 7040 may only handle cat II. You may want to give them a call. Hope this helps...

 

[Big_Cajun]

Thanks JKUB...actually, I think I can swing Cat. I or II implements. I'll give Dudley a call and see what he can do.

BC,
If Dudley doesn't have what you are looking for you can check with Cain's Tractor off of Cameron St. in Lafayette. They carry a good selection of Howse equipment. The phone number there is (337)261-5743. Keep us posted on your search.

Stevens Tractor Under Contruction, Coming Soon!

Their website is currently under construction. I was in their store the other day, and I asked when the website would be done. The answer was not encouraging.

For a large tractor like yours, get the heavy duty model, and not the garden model. Your tractor would tear the light one up.
Sevens Tractor implements actually build their tools right behind their store in Coushatta,La

I'm looking at a set myself.

I bought the garden row hipper from Stevens, couldn't ask for a better tool!

With that much HP you could easily pull 2 or more rows at once I would think. I easily pull a one row with three discs per side with my JD 850 which has about 25 HP. You could buy a larger row crop multi-row implement (6-8 rows) and cut off the excess leaving 2 or 3 rows then sell the remainder in one or two row versions. HTH.

What does a row hipper do?

 

[nybirdman]

I built mine,I purchased a TSC cultivator and added the 16 inch disc from Agri-supply;a little scrap steel.Mine bolts on,it can be removed to use just the cultivator.To answer the question wat a hiller is;it forms the rows for a garden(raised bed).

 

[klrobert]

nybirdman, I am not trying to be a smart-*****, but you have the discs backwards on your hipper setup. If you turn them around so that the cupped surface of the disc is on the inside, they will do much better. Please don't take this the wrong way, just trying to help.

klrobert, I do believe that you may have a point there

Dang it!!!!!!!!!! Your right............I guess I 'll have to fix that,but it does work ok.

This is what mine looks like, pulls very easy with my Craftsman. If you turn them out you can tear down rows. I was using a screw jack with a power window motor to lift it at that time. I have now replaced it with a $49.95 winch from Harbor Freight. Works Great!

I used the KK middlebuster, Lowered down, make a trench, come back in the other direction with the front tire of the tractor next to the soil raised up from the trench, it makes like a W. You just nock down the tips ow the W , with a sweep of a garden rake. I did see a Bed Shaper by Buckeye tractor co, looks nice.

I've been making and sell this Disc Hiller locally. It takes the work out of gardening.
I posted the wrong pic of the beds but can't figure out how to remove it. It does a similar job of making beds.

I bought the 2 gang assembly with brackets for $250.00 from Stevens Tractor Co. 800.333.9143. I added the toolbar I got locally and also the sleeve hitch.
With shipping I have about $315 tied up in it. If you call they will send you a catalog, they have tons of stuff and most of it they build themselves.

If you check with some of the big farms in your area you can locate some old 4 row equipment real cheap. I got an old john deere 4 row cultivator with the guage wheel and cut the tool bar in half and moved each gang of harrows down to make it a two row to go behind a 75 horse tractor. With that size tractor you would lose alot of garden space with a one row. I use small sweeps on the back harrow to make my rows, then when I cultivate or lay my corn by I just put the big sweeps on the back and it makes the rows bigger. I have mine set at 32" centers. If you want some pic let me know. Most of the 4 row equipment can be had a local equipment auctions for less than $200.

What a great thread to find! I wanted to build this with plate, rather than a rotating disc, to form each side of the hill and create 2 hills at a time. Now the disc makes so much sense, esp. if your depth of loose soil varies as the plate model would see some pretty hard work if you went below the tilled/plowed/harrowed soil.

Most of the ones I see here are single row - 2 row should be easy enough, no? Dirtydusty - you suggested taking a 4 row and cutting it down?

I think back in the 80's 4 rows where the thing, now they have 21 row equipment. Most big farms have these laying around in the weeds. you can also find some old 4 row planters that you can do the same with too. There is 6 and 8 row equipment available, but they are more expensive.
