Tonytoro416 1,034 #2276 Posted July 23, 2023 Finally got time to finish my quick and dirty harrow build. Not anything fancy or pretty but it worked really good. I was extremely happy with how well it worked on my driveway. Of course the hydraulic lift on the 416 makes it really nice 3 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,314 #2281 Posted July 23, 2023 This one is going up for sale next weekend when I get back home. Tried to sell it with a noisy 36RD and mismatched wheels (color) but no interest. Wheels all match now and it has a quiet 42RD. First pic is how it looked a couple days ago. 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was extremely happy with how well it worked on my driveway Looks good and solid. Did you do a build thread or any other pics somewhere? What's your general procedure for use? We've been using the Mid Mount Grader Blade for driveway maintenance and it does well. I've been thinking about something that would "chew in" a bit first.

I can take some closer pictures this evening. I used a slot hitch cultivator frame. I bolted it to the tube steel. 2 pieces of tube was needed to the barrow would sit straight up and down. Welded those together and welded railroad spikes to the bottom tube. Spikes were from a wooden drag type Harrow that grandpa made years ago. Wood was rotted on it so I used to spikes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is important for the harrow to have some give so it can jump if it snags a rock 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used existing holes in cultivator frame and bolted the harrow to that so I didn’t hack up a good cultivator frame. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,834 #2297 Posted August 5, 2023 The Snowmowtractor needs to look complete for Thursday’s car show. It’ll be riding in the back of Ole Smoky my ‘69 C10. This is one of the reasons I went to the feed mill for chicken food, to see how it held up to 6-700 lbs in the bed. Like a champ! 4 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
