Curious here to see how many folks here have build home made implements?

I have a question for ya'll. I've got one of those older 3 pt augers. Typical, it digs great in soft dirt. We have clay soil that stops the drill. My though is to modify the mounting for my industrial tractor so that the top link cylinder is the third point and can be used to push the bit into the ground. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks for the input. Yeah hard clay here under 8" top. Think I'll go for the down pressure mod. and be careful. Was wondering if anyone had done this ?

6 foot pry bar in reply to suptscottyb, 05-14-2007 20:41:52

I have the same problem with hard ground. We have about 8 inches of top soil then hard pan. I use a 6 foot pry bar and wedge it between the top link/gear bor area. Then apply down pressure at the end of the pry bar. I weigh about 210 lbs and have never not been able to boar holes, even 3 feet deep.

Excess down pressure can lead to screwing the auger into the ground which makes for a long day extracting.

How sharp are the cutting edges? We borrow one from time to time that wouldn't cut at all in hard ground. We bought some teeth made for a King Kutter and modifyed them to fit. It cuts really good now, even in hard dry clay.

Power down can be a good thing, but shouldn't be needed on a post hole auger. You'll end up breaking something, unless it was made for it like one on a skidsteer.

I built a pitch fork attachment for my loader. I use it to clean packed bedding out of the barn. I made it out of used drill steel - the stuff you see being used on large rock drills at construction sites. I cut them to length with a cutting torch. The steel was so hard, nothing else would touch it. I had to torch the points on the rods too, the grinder wore out faster than the steel. I used an angle iron to carry it on the lip of the loader bucket. The rods then go under the bucket to a flat piece of steel at the back. I welded upright plates to the flat steel at the side so I could hold them to the outside of the bucket with a bolt on each side. When I need it, I can just drive up to it and hook the angle iron with the bucket, pick it up & insert the two bolts.

Built my own backhoe along with other stuff. Mounted on a Ford NAA and it could dig little over 7 foot deep.

I built this self-leveling 3 point mount high-lift - I've got on a 4840 JD here messing around with an old pickup...

95% of it is recycled parts from scrap implements - including the main cylinder...

It really works neat!

I'm using a home brew sprayer and I took a cyclo 400 planter and converted it into a side dresser with a JD squeeze pump.

Right now I have the sprayer on the three point and it will be feeding fertilizer openers on the 7000 JD planter. It will be metering 32% N some day when the field dries enough to hold up the rig.

The fertilizer openers started out being AC 2000 plow coulters on mounts I designed and then I added bars to pull thin ammonia knives to put the 32% underground while the coulters split the straw so it doesn't hairpin on the planter disk openers.

I homebrewed the mount to install my MF-236 loader on my JD-4020. It was too much loader for the MF-135 but the 135 is enough for planting and spraying and I hope doing the two together. If I can't keep the front wheels on the ground I may have to not put a full 65 gallons of 32% in the sprayer.

400 cyclo tightener in reply to flying belgian, 05-13-2007 19:43:35

I have some 400 parts; I looked and there is a tightener on at least one of them, if your talking about that multi-grooved one. I live north of Henderson.

I have a couple 400, one for side dresser, the other I used to splatter seed with, both PTO driven. I don't know if the nylon belt tensioner in the tongue is any good in either.

I do it all the time. I've built a set of fork lift forks and a rinos horn for the loader on one of my tractors. The horn is a thing set up so I can lift stuff up much higher then what the normal loader will lift. I also built a V plow for the same tractor. I have also built 3 point hitches on tractors and a lot of other stuff

Hi Haywood! I've cobbled-up a few things but my best is a tag-along graderblade, built from scrap steel. It's only a 6' blade but is just right for the driveway and I'm going to use it on the next little bit of plowing I do! I think I can get it to windrow most of the rocks too.

I built myself a 6 foot cultivator/chisel plow last winter to pull behind my 9N. I used it this spring to plow up the garden and it worked really good with 5 shanks on it. Just right for my tractor.

I plan to use it to cultivate my sweet corn this summer too, just have to change the spacing of the shanks.

Not sure how to post a picture of it here or I would do it.

Haywood, I have been part of building a couple of pieces, a Copy of an Olton,Tx,Welding, LandPlane! and different tool bar setups.
One needs to use a good design, heavy/thickwall material to withstand the tortures most people can put on a piece of equipment.
Later.
