[digger]

That's just freakin outstanding!!!!

 

[vthomley]

Steve, thank you for bringing one of my dreams to reality. This thing looks awesome!

 

[sblunier]

So it needed the weights after all....

 

[glippert]

That's pretty amazing! Look forward to some video of it in action.

Test / build video from my garden......

Steve, that looks great! Does a nice job on the garden too. Might have to add front assist to one of your Cubs as a next project so you can drop that fully into the ground.

 

[sblunier]

It's a load for sure! First pass was set too deep.......probably 7"

 

[snicklas]

Do the full size ones, behind a full size farm tractor pull that hard?

 

[sblunier]

Yes, Shanks pull hard.

The real one required 13 drawbar horsepower per shank.

Chisels are some of the hardest pulling implements.

As I suspected - Down right AWESOME!!!! Another project WELL DONE! Looks great behind the 982. You'll have a BLAST at the next plow day, just wish I was there to watch it work in person!
Very cool. Nice job.

 

[sblunier]

Ran it in disked corn stalks tonight......then said, what the heck, how about standing stalks!

 

[mpatterson]

Did pretty good all things considered! Did it load up with trash much on you? I bet it would be great in beans since the stalks would be chopped up nicely if the combine was set up right. Considering the ground is tacky looking, I think it did good.

 

[sblunier]

Choked up at front shank on a giant root ball (against wheel strut) one time.....otherwise ate everything.....

Nice, well that's minor for sure. As long as you didn't need to go get a pry bar to start chipping it out and break a sweat doing it. Cause that just SUCKS when you plug up discs or cultivator. BTDT!
