ParticipantOn mine the evener does not move just the gangs. The evener bar is attatched to the bottom of the tongue. Measure the evener and that is what you need for a neck yoke.
ParticipantGeoff, It is 11 row on 7 inch spacing. I did have to get the wheels fixed but and Amish friend of mine fixed both of them for $40. I have to say I was very fortunate. I use it to plant 2 or 3 acres a year. Enough to have fun but not enough to wear it out.
ParticipantI don’t know if this helps any or not but here is my story. A few years ago I bought a McCormick Deering 11-7 wood wheels and no fertilizer box. It was usable but I still made some improvements. I paid $170 at an auction.
ParticipantWelcome. There seems to be quite a few people joining from the U.K. I am glad there are people working with animals all over the world.
ParticipantThanks Ed. That gives me a few good ideas. Now I just need a little more time.
ParticipantEd, could you post a close up picture of the disc scrapers? The scrapers where missing on mine and I need to make some.
ParticipantI hope it is not too much of a problem. Next week I am supposed to get a few truck loads from an Amish fellow that raises calves for one of the big farmers. They don’t want to handle it twice since they can’t spread it now. I don’t mind handling it again since it is free and I can use the excercise.
ParticipantI don’t think we have gone two consecutive days without rain in over a month. Nothing is getting planted. A few guys managed to get oats in early, but they will be replanting. There is water standing on tiled ground. I don’t know if it worse to be too wet or too dry. It stinks either way.
ParticipantI bought one several years ago from Macknairs. I would imagine he still has them.
ParticipantMine has a truck and I use no tongue. I was at an auction last weekend and there was one with just a tongue on it.
ParticipantA whole lot of rain in Michigan. Even the tiled ground is to wet to work.
ParticipantI second Macnairs. They seem to have a lot of stuff for those cultivators. I recently finished fixing up a new 4. It is not all painted up but it is fully funcional. I was even fortunate enough to get a fertilizer attatchment for it. I can’t wait to use it. I am glad to see someone else saving some old iron.
ParticipantI agree and it is only going to get worse.
ParticipantVery nice John. I can only hope my first time plowing will look that good.
ParticipantWelcome Liz. Just beware, DAP can be a bit habit forming!
