Yeah it's ok but I want to be self-sufficient rather than roping in someone. Think Im going to call to my local motor bike repair shop and pick up some old chains and gears see how it comes together with hopper and chain...i might then strip down my existing unit and see can I blend the 2

Yeah thanks Tim ..that Gemini one looks perfect. A bit of making in it but I might give it a go.

Yeah maybe something with a hopper. This year i made a very crude plough with ridger and a wheel that delivered a spud every 12" loaded by hand but the wheel didn't rotate consistently for me so had to drop by hand.

Hi Folks, I'm looking for some help or guidance in making a small potatoe planters. Single row planter to attach to 3 PT linkage .I can't seem to find a simple design that I can copy. Anyone point me in the right direction or have photos of a simple one they have or made in the past?

That's probably a very good idea. Much more stable .Think I'll move them out to the widest position too when I'm fitting the 3 point linkage.

Had to turn the wheels inside out ...but delighted with them . I placed them in the closest position with 2 wider positions available

Excellent I just picked them as they were priced in the mid range.

New orange shoes.....had to use a tube to get them to spread to the width of the rim. But they work!!

[QUOTE="Runs With Scissors, post: 701441, member: Yeah it's been a real slow burner. Kubotas aren't just for Christmas they are for life 🤣 Seriously though ,kids are getting older now so a bit more free time in the garage finally coming my way.

New shoes 😀

Second coat on...it's brush finish but given these are going to be up to the axle in mud in a few weeks it will be fine . Agri tyres in the post.

That's the view of the dash and bonnet....not happy with it. I made the dash to the same shape as the original yrs back. I didn't have the original bonnet plus didn't/don't have the skill or equipment to fold the bonnet to the original shape so the bonnet stays and the dash will get pimped to...

Primer and ready for Kubota orange tomorrow. Must order my agricultural tyres tonight. Total cost a few hours plus €40 got the Toyota rims.
