    Very good idea. I've always hated spraying the gravel driveway, but keeping it free of weeds is a full-time job. This'll be one more thing to add to my to-do list!

    Excellent idea. You could do that every other week, just keeping the soil loose and there goes the weeds.

    • @markellyfarm
      @markellyfarm  2 роки тому +1

      Thats the master plan. Like every two weeks. Cuts a nice clean edge too!

    Absolutely genious idea, I can see using this in my potato/carrot/onion patch in spring before hilling up the rows and planting as well, to get the early weeds without using chemicals! Best of wishes from Norway, I will be making one of these come April!

    And just like that no more weeds or potholes. Great idea. Way better than boxblade

    • @markellyfarm
      @markellyfarm  2 роки тому +2

      Yup, the box blade would drag the weeds around and make a mess. Love this thing so far.

    Nice. Sort of like a single-blade land plane, but really shines as a cutter. Nifty tool.

    OMG, I've been toying with the idea of building something along these lines - either as an attachment to my box blade or buying a 2000 dollar land plane - same idea - a sharp blade fairly horizontal that cuts the roots - we have really bad weeds here in AZ. This design is genius, way simpler/better than what I was thinking. Wanna sell it? 😁j/k. I'm definitely stealing the design!

    • @markellyfarm

      Steal away! Works perfectly. I just have to drag the driveway when im done. Only because of my OCD though! Lol

    Time to apply for a Provisional Patent before "Country Line" or one of the other cheap implement makers copies it!!!

    • @markellyfarm

      They can have it. Im not gonna build them. We use it a lot and love it!

    @snurb48 10 місяців тому +1

    Brilliant! Box blade= too much, land scape rake= too much pulling sand. This is just right. A Hula Hoe for a three point hitch. Better run for a Patent!

    • @markellyfarm
      @markellyfarm  10 місяців тому

      You can have the patent. Im good. Lol

  • @cutweldngrind
    @cutweldngrind 7 місяців тому +1

    Will this cut a path through the grass or does it kind of float on top. I use a boxblade but the tall grass gets stuck on the rippers. I want to be able to cut the roots on grass and then rake it to the side.

    • @markellyfarm
      @markellyfarm  7 місяців тому

      If you angle it right, it goes through like a sod cutter. I do it when the weeds aren't very thick. They just dry up.

  • @Lorenzo7342

    Hi would that attachment work for sod removal?

    I have a seashell driveway
    Weeds just ruin the look . I’ve tried organic herbicides and hand pulled but the weeds come back

    • @markellyfarm
      @markellyfarm  Рік тому

      They can be really stubborn for sure. Sea shell sounds really cool. Maybe try a propane weed torch?

      I don't, sorry. Just build stuff to use around our place.

    • @chrisvaldez2922

      @@markellyfarm you should patent this and sell it. It looks like a great tool

    • @markellyfarm

      Im too old for all that. Lol but it really works great.

  • @gpenrod5221

    What is that device you have sitting in your quick hitch that has the clamps that holds the square tube? or is that also something you made as well?
    I am looking for something just like this. I want to go through a field and use it like a hoe and just slice off the weeds just under the surface. Using a tiller is too aggressive. Thinking maybe a harrow might work, but this blade option just seems to my beginner form of thinking to be the better answer.

    • @markellyfarm
      @markellyfarm  Рік тому

      It's called an a-frame. Very easily made if you do any welding. Most old farms have them lying around. I just bought another one at auction. Sometimes, the tool bar will come with it. It's just a square shaft or tubing. They aren't used much anymore. It's a really great tool.

    No, no, no. You were supposed to spend $1800 on a box blade.

    • @markellyfarm

      I bought mine when they were $800. Lol

    You need to patent and manufacture those. Id buy one thats genius.
