Workin' Horse

[TheUnknownCat 0]

The C160 has finished tilling and formed the rows, now it's just picking up the rocks we kicked out of the ground, to make room to mow. It's really a great machine.

This is one of my three gardens. This was new ground. The little tractor tilled it, ran a big springtooth through it, and then formed the rows with a home made bed former. I'll post pics of my implements as soon as I have time to take some.

Here are my other two gardens, I broke these with a Troy-Bilt Horse -which is now for sale.

Thanks for all of your help Guys!

Hope mine turns out as nice as yours, but I will be starting out with Johnson grass that is probably head high. How did you go about it? Till it, then used you secret weapon attachment? No, Really I want to see what you have going there.

Nice work -

I am kinda partial to the C-160's too! Like the long handle you put on the hydraulic lift - very nice.

The C160s are great workers,nice job!,Rick

[Lane Ranger 10,943]

Thanks for the great photos!

That C160 does it all.

You can't beat that garden prep work and quality.

:omg:

Looking at the size of the rocks in your trailer, is there anything left of your tiller?????

Duff :omg:

My tiller is just fine, once ya get to sit down to till, ya do take care of that tiller!

Anyway -implements, as promised! Sorry that my pics got all weird!

These are all just hacked up junk, but I've only owned the tractor a few weeks, and had to get it straightened up enough to get through the season, and then I had to get tools together too. They'll get overhauled with the tractor, when things slow down.

My springtooth. It was a five-footer with a three point set-up on it, I cut it down to three and made my own Wheel Horse hitch.

My tool bar:

One of the attaching brackets for the toolbar:

This is how I attach at my cable end, a stainless steel shackle. (I know, it's lookin' pretty wet on my transaxle, but I have to get this work done. I took a shot at fixing it, it went well enough to break my hub, so it's on a steady diet of 30wt until I get another chance.)

For my springtooth and my toolbar, I attach this to the shackle, a notched bar. It allows me a lot of adjustment for depth.

The toolbar and springtooth have a piece of angle iron welded across them which the notched bar fits to, like this:

This is one of my home made discs, cut from the ends of a propane tank:

Here's the bedding plow, this thing works like a dream:

And finally, someone mentioned my hydraulic handle, also made from junk, so I thought I'd include it. It sure makes it easier to control when you have something to get ahold of!

:omg:

You are my kind of gardener :D

[KyBlue 655]

My kind too.. not afraid to make or modify what ya have to get what ya need

[Olratlr 25]

Looks like a job well done thanks for the pictures. :omg:

[VinsRJ 721]

[Daddy Don 905]

Great job on the gardens. Going to het mine done tomorrow. Have a great growing season.

[rickv1957 72]

Nice work on the custom attachments!! Rick

[TheUnknownCat 0]

Thanks for all of the kind words and well-wishing Guys -you're a great bunch! (Especially the ones from Oklahoma. )

I still have a long way to go this Spring, but the C160 is pretty much done, except for mowing, (42" SD) and raking the grass, (I'll post a pic of the toolbar rake that I'm making, when it's done.) I've got a vintage Troy-Bilt Pony that I cultivate my rows with.

In the meantime, I gotta finish the chicken coop, I want fresh eggs with all of this fresh food!

Have a great growing season!

[Roger from southern Iowa 1]

Good looking C160.

I'm impressed with the attachments, the pic show that they work VERY well.

Good start on the chicken coop. :omg:

[tgranthamfd 29]

Sweet ingenuity, we're going to have a Oklahoma get together some weekend. Other than you we have a couple from the Del City area, 1 from Blanchard, 1 from Glenwood or maybe Glenpool, and myself from Marlow. Maybe more that I don't know about on here. Once again Good job. :omg:
