Hey all,
I was gonna try and buy a different hoe for this spring, but anything I look at has the same amount of wear as my 400. One sold on a sale in Juda yesterday for $325 and it would have needed plenty of wheels replaced for bearings and spoons. May as well fix mine up instead.
There's a company up in Canada that makes weld-on replacement spoons for rotary hoes. I talked with them last week and they're sending me more info and a sample spoon. The owner told me that once you get good at it, you can do 5 wheels an hour. The spoons cost $13 per wheel and they have a jig to ensure proper angle for $125. $3 for the bearing.
