DIY self pull behind disc

[Csmith52779]

I wanna see how you mounted your tires.

[LloydMcCoy]

you will not get it to cut very well. the disk blades should be turned the other way.. the concave should face forward.. IMO..

This.

[Csmith52779]

I will find out this week imma give it a test run

[jwedel]

Looks like you did a good job. I really like the way the tongue hooks onto the ball hitch.
But seriously, your disks are backwards and you wont get very good performance unless your soil is super mellow and has no structure. It needs to be pulled the other direction, so the concave edge of the disks cut into the soil.

Let us know how your test goes

[Krivoman]

might many to add a basket to hold rocks or weights. might need to weight it down. to get through packed dirt. looks simple to use. good job.

Looks a little to close to make turns without damaging tires on your four wheeler. I may be wrong hard to tell in pic

Man those Leon county folks are sure smart, great job, bet Victor Smith would want to borrow that.

[Csmith52779]

Victor can forget bout it. And you can tell him Colton smith said he is useless piece of you know what!! Hahaha I work for him lol. Na it is far enough back from the 4 wheeler I tested that.

pull behind discs

These pics are of a plow I made 4 years ago. The wheels are mounted using shank bolts which have the heads ground to sit flat into the axle of the heavy steel angle axle, then welded into place. I used flat washers on each side of the hub for a bearing surface and to help keep dirt out and a hex nut and a lock nut per side to hold wheel on as a backup. Do not want to loose a wheel in the woods. Sorry I took so long to show pics I had a problem uploading pics as I am very computer ILLITERATE!!! lol The plow works great and I have 6 steel plates at 50 lbs each which I can place on top of the plow (notice the 3 bolts sticking up on top? These line up with the holes in the steel plates to hold them in place). I built this out of scrap junk I already had laying around and I have approximatly $175.00 tied up in blades and hardware. I made the spacers which go between the blades all angle steel, tires and coupler I already had so it was a cheep build).

That is nice Bronco611. Well thought out.

[dclifton]

don't have to travel that far I will eventually mount wheels to it somehow I need to go to tractor supply and see what they have. I only have to travel 150-200 yards and when I pulled it behind my lawn mower tonight it didn't scar the ground to bad. Of coarse I wasn't going fast either.

I think it didn't cut much because like others said the plows are backwards. Right now you have the rounded side out wich will push it out of the ground. With concave the other way it will dig itself in some.

Got to try this

[unclefish]
