I'm really excited to see this adaptation! I was thinking just last night how I could add disk bedders to the rear of my tiller. I like what you've done here. Why don't you share the details of how you came up with it? Did you buy an old cultivator to get the spades? Did you make them yourself? Details details!
Thanks, John
Thanks, John
I was going to use disc bedders but I already had the “S” tines and shovels and you really need 4 disc bedders to make it work and I did not want to spend that much until I new it would work and most discs that I found were of poor quality. The “S” tines and brackets are John Deere, The toolbar is 2x2x1/4 tubing that I already had and I mounted the toolbar with two 2” receiver hitches turned upside down the toolbar is removable just take out the pins. The toolbar is bolted to the hitches and the receivers are welded to the tiller. My tractor has TnT so I can adjust the depth but the shovels are about a 1” above the bottom of the tiller tines plus the “S” tines flex so they do not keep the tiller from going in the ground. Took about 5 hrs to build. Heck next year I am going to try and mount two corn planters in the middle for single pass planting. Oh yeah and another cool thing I ran off some 36” wide beds for my vegetable garden then took out the center tine and backed up about half way into the 36”s and made some 72”wide beds they blended together about perfect, Patent Pending.

I'm impressed by the soil. I have rocks. Lots of rocks.

Nice design.
What are the measurements of the S-tines and the sweeps?
Agri-Supply has two sizes of tines on page 20 of their catalog, 32" x 10" and 42" x 12". I would think the lighter duty smaller size would be perfect.

Awesome, Thanks for sharing. I have some of those parts around here, that looks like an excellent project for them.

Where'd the "s-tines" come from? I'm searching for 4 of them, just about that size>
My "S" tines are from a John Deere 960 field cultivator. I had ordered 4 tines and brakets years ago to build a chisel plow but ended up not using them. I had to cut down the tine mounting brackets because they were made for 3x3 tubing and I had 2x2. I just cut 1" out and welded them back together.
I was thinking the same thing. I would love to have soil that tilled up that well. Mine does great for what clay can do, but man that is nice.
How many passes with tiller alone does it take to get that good a bed? I have the same tiller, only 48" for my bx23, and while I dont garden, I am impressed with the results of the soil.
I am curious as to why the outside shovels are cut in half?

Wall, Great Job.... I was looking at those same receiver hitches this weekend for my future gauge wheels. My plan is to weld those hitches to a flat piece of steel which in turn can be bolted to the rake OR any other implement.. From your pictures I couldn't tell if that plate was welded to the Tiller or bolted on /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Nice Job,,, Sarge

Is tractor having any difficulty in pulling the both; tiller and s-tine cultivator? Let me contribute to your patent pending implement; you can replace its sweeps by ridger sweeps which are adjustable, the width of each sweep is adjustable. This is ridger - not seen, but there are bolt/screw system behind the sweeps that can adjust the width of the beds.
