This project certainly got my interest. I printed out the Agri-Supply catalog on page 20 and was wondering how I should go about determining which bedding sweeps to order. Any suggestions?

I have no idea. I am not a farmer or gardener, yet. However, I did purchase one s-tine and one clamp that I will be using to prototype up something for myself later this spring.

Wall could answer that, as is it looks like 12-16 inch from the pictures.

I'm gona have to build one, has to save a ton of time. What if one was to fix the shovels to a rotating shaft at the rear and add a hyd cyl on a crank arm. One end of the cyl would attach to the back side of the top link, the other to the crank arm keyed to a shaft with the shovels fixed to the rotating shaft. Think you would be able to raise and lower the shovels from a remote on the tractor??? You could do your rough passes with the tiller first and tilt and the shovel raised. Tilt the shovels down when the soil is ready and cut your rows. More trouble than it's worth???
