Row hiller custom build advice

BlackThumbHomesteader · Sep 10, 2016

I'm about to embark on my fall/winter project of building some implements for my tractors but I need some advice first. Where is a good place to pick up discs and tines to fab up a hiller/bedder? Looking for a reputable online source as I don't have [i:299f9e9efb]any[/i:299f9e9efb] form of ag supply store front within 600 miles of me.

I had an old 3 point (from a mower I think) welded to make a 2" receiver hitch. That is very handy to move trailers around with ball hitch or wagons with straight hitch. I made a hiller with 2" square stock (slides in to receiver) and 1" solid square stock and agri-supply parts. 1" stock is about 4 long and accepts agri supply shanks and disks. Works perfect.

You are probably wanting "off the shelf" components, but if you're just building a small project, you can make a pretty nice ridger using disk blades mounted on rear spindles from a front drive car. A friend traded a stack of disk blades for my labor, and junkyard spindles are cheap. Frame is an old Burch cultivator that I no longer used. This thing is a potato planter.
