Hey all,
I'm looking for ideas on how to drive some fertilizer boxes on a Front Mount cultivator. I want to drop 100-150 lbs of poultry litter each pass while cultivating.
I recently bought a pair of IH 56 planters and plan on taking the fertilizer boxes and mounting them on a mounted cultivator. I have a 494 I'm scrapping and robbed the boxes off it to cut down for the inside rows (it's a 6 row, 30 inch cultivator). The tractor has dual hydraulics and both remotes will be occupied on lifting the cultivator gangs, so hydraulic is out. I was thinking about setting up a ground drive, but haven't thought of where I could mount the drive wheel. With the tractor being in the way, I figured I'll need a drive wheel for each side.
I also want to build a toolbar for behind the tractor to drop cover crop seed on the last cultivation. The planters have Gandy insecticide boxes and I was thinking they may work for this. Set up 7 of them on a common driveshaft and have them drop seed while cultivating. The Gandys gonna do the trick?
