Brian1054 29 #1 Posted October 11, 2017 Any ever tried to use a rear mounted blade as a hiller/row maker in well worked soil? That may not be the correct term, but you get what I'm saying right? I realize it would put a lot of space between rows, but I'm wanting to be able to pull wagon loads of compost and grass clippings between the rows during the summer.

SylvanLakeWH 26,296 #2 Posted October 12, 2017 I bet it would work just fine...Give it a shot, take pics and let us know how it worked out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 56,360 #3 Posted October 12, 2017 The blade would need to tilt to the side to do the trick, I think @WVHillbilly520H posted a while back with a blade that would work for you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian1054 29 #4 Posted October 12, 2017 Thanks for the replies. I was under the impression that they could be angled like a front dozer blade. I see them pop up on cl pretty cheap once in a while and that's what got me thinking....... Dangerous I know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
445FEBronco 13 #5 Posted October 12, 2017 I would just make a sleeve mount hitch then anything garden tractor size fits. Agrifab and hundreds of other companies make implements and seeders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian1054 29 #6 Posted October 12, 2017 Oh I know. I was shocked to find out the number of attachments that used to be made for these things that aren't anymore. I picked up an 8 inch brinley moldboard this summer and quickly realized that is the way to go instead of fighting a tiller. It works well with the 1054 even though its a bit undersized. Let's just say it can be somewhat exciting with the suburban though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obone 142 #7 Posted October 19, 2017 Just a FYI if you turn your disks in it will also hill. That's how a lot of people do it. If you have a disk set. Rear blades do angle. Do a search on here for potatoes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian1054 29 #8 Posted October 19, 2017 That was something I was looking at also. I don't have a disk yet. I read so many things about how they don't really work in garden tractor size that I was kinda on the fence about getting one. Would the older ones be better than a newer one? I have to assume that like everything else the older ones were heavier. Thanks for the replies guys. This is my first year using a garden tractor and this site has been very helpful with helping me figure things out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
