Hey Frank,Great set-up. Wish I had a plough like this. Our little tractor, a 77 Massey 1655, would have no trouble dragging that through the soil. It has huge torque even with just 16hp. We have been using a 16 disk harrow to do the initial tear-up followed by a fine tilling via an equally old walk-behind tiller.A cultivator like this would make for faster passes before the tiller came into play I think. Very nice to see that your son too is engaged in the work you like to do. Keep him involved as best as you can. Good for him, good for all.
I would think that using it as deep as possible in the fall on a diagonal pattern and then again in the spring that this can easily replace a moldboard plow. Probably doing a better job as well in preventing pan development.
The depth is limited by the HP of the tractor. I have since mounted this on a larger tractor, I am able to go deeper and yes it does a good job of breaking up the subsoil.
Erri, I am not sure, it is a 3 cylinder 17 hps diesel. Mine is a hydro-static. If it were a manual transmission it would have a little more to the draw-bar. It is good for what I need it to do.
I like it...! On the 2x2 what thickness did you use? Will it blast thru the weeds too? I'm more in need of a ripper type...but curious how yours worked out. What did the tines set you back and have any broken off yet...?
I sold it several years ago so I am not sure how to answer you questions on thickness. Maybe 1/4 inch? I used this several times a year and never broke the tines. I even used it on a 40 hsp tractor for a while. With that tractor I was able to go much deeper.
Frank it looks like it works good.I started buying parts to make the same one as I only have an 18hp hydro tractor. Frank I don't have a drawbar hitch and wondering if maybe sometime if you have a moment could give me height and width of the vertical pin bars. and maybe how far apart the 2x2 are. THANK YOU
Brett, when it was attached to the Kubota maybe 6 to 8 inches. I had a larger tractor that I also used it on and could go deeper. The kubota was all wheel drive.
spring tool, crust buster, field cultivator. Chisel plow is usually deep shanks that are pulled thru the ground at depths of 12 to 18 inches. This works great tho. Cultivators usually work better pulled quicker along the ground to leave a finer surface. Discs need to be pulled slowly.
Like your comment about a disk being pulled slowly. What implement would you use in mildly rocky material to clear weeds and light brush between tree rows? The spring tooth has some forgiveness with rocks. Haven't bought the piece yet.
It was two inch square tubing. Decide what shanks you are going to use, measure the brackets used to fasten them to the frame. This will tell you what size of tubing you should use.

The only reason that your chisel plow works so well is because you have a great helper. Great job.
I agree!
that's a spring tooth harrow. nor a chisel plow.
I've been schooled on that many times since I put this video up. Thank you.
it's not a chisel plow... it's a harrowing tooth spring.

awesome little tractors! love those kubotas!
That is cool. Even better you did it yourself. Seems like no one does that anymore they all have the "I'll just go buy one" attitude. Great job!!!
Looks very nice and works fine.
Nice job on the plow.
looks great, soiled turned over well
Does a nice job. Pretty cool that you built it yourself.
Look like you guys had some fun.
Love it !! I have about a 3000 square foot garden area and an 1860 BX kabota I need to fabricate one of these !
nice job and I like the hearing protection for the son I always made my kids and grand kids wear some
Nice job looks like it works very good
Nice work.
nice project!!
That seem to do the job just fine.
Nice.....

@@namraj1 , it gets the job done, , call it whatever you want to
good video
Looks like it works great.. Could you cultivate a couple rows with it by spacing the shanks different.
Very good cultivator congratulations! I built a similar, but with the shaft.

I am not sure, it is a 3 cylinder 17 hps diesel. Mine is a hydro-static. If it were a manual transmission it would have a little more to the draw-bar. It is good for what I need it to do.

Do you think the chisel plow did a better job on ur garden soil than a moldboard plow?
Yes I understand it is a digger. Lets not get too worked up, it is a utility for a garden tractor.
Frank it looks like it works good.I started buying parts to make the same one as I only have an 18hp hydro tractor. Frank I don't have a drawbar hitch and wondering if maybe sometime if you have a moment could give me height and width of the vertical pin bars. and maybe how far apart the 2x2 are. THANK YOU
What do you mean you built with the shaft?
Is this in high or low tranmission?
a chisel plow is pulled 8-10" deep ,sub soil machine runs 12 20" deep
Most chisel powers go at a diagonal in the field.
Hi Frank, when can you have me one ready to pick up... :-)
james,,,,,
Jim Mowdy ha you may have missed the do it yourself comments.
That isn't a chisel plow. Those are cultivator shanks.
Tom Gibson Yes, I've been well schooled on the difference since I first posted it.. (:
How deep can you go, and is that a 2 wheel drive model?
Brett, when it was attached to the Kubota maybe 6 to 8 inches. I had a larger tractor that I also used it on and could go deeper. The kubota was all wheel drive.
Frank Jarman Awesome, thanks!
that would be a field cultivated
I would probably change the points to straight ones so you don't get a compaction layer
I used both
thanks for information i want intersting that pls how much cost like this tactor talor ? and i want buy tactor can yuhelp me ?
How much is the max drawbar pull of that Kubota???

Who told you that discs need to be pulled slow. If you're using horses. discs mix the soil at higher speeds 3-4 mph.
you might want to use a straight sweep you will get less soil compaction
How thick is the tubing?
It was two inch square tubing. Decide what shanks you are going to use, measure the brackets used to fasten them to the frame. This will tell you what size of tubing you should use.
Yeah, I know that, I mean 1/8" or 1/4" thick walls?
1/4 in if I recall.
Where I'm from that's called a spring tooth.
S- tine
How much for shanks if you don't mind
Rip It Up !!!
anyone one want to buy heavy steel cultivator blade. plz reply me.. i m from gujrat. rajkot
