I use an old Ferguson cultivator to work up my roping arena. Slowly over time, I have broken enough shanks off that it is useless (not really, I just have to make many many passes to get the job done).
I would like to to take all the shanks off, and weld some angle Iron cross members to it. Then, weld some box blade shanks to those. I have found some box blade teeth on line for about $11. Not sure of the quality, but in this day and time, most stuff comes from China anyway.
1. Will I be happy with the performance of box blade teeth for this job? I only cut down about 4 or 5 inches, in soft soil.
2. Is there a better product to use for shanks?
