    3 point Unverferth Rolling Basket Harrow

    We don’t have rocks in the fields in West Tennessee. Most farmers here pull a seedbed prep tool like this behind a disk or field cultivator. I wanted a 3 pt version to pull behind my M5660 after disking to level and prep the soil before seeding with a Land Pride seeder.

    That looks great. I’ve got 21 “S” tines from the Brillion cultivator that I intend to put on a frame like that.

    3 point Unverferth Rolling Basket Harrow

    Update on my 3 pt Unverferth rolling basket harrow project. I started with a 4 row Brillion cultivator, removed the cultivator gangs and 3 pt brackets and cut the tool bar in half then remounted the 3pt brackets and added the rolling basket sections. Still need to fab and mount the 2 stands...

    M5660 toolbox and chain carrier

    Thanks for your inquiry. The main pieces are 1.5 x 0.25 flats. The gussets (seen welded on in the photos in my original post) are 0.75 x 0.1875 flats. I made the bends using a Handy Bend brake in a 30 ton H press, so the bends are curved instead of sharp. See the photo below for the dimensions...

    3 point Unverferth Rolling Basket Harrow

    We don’t have rocks here in Northwest Tennessee, but I did spend several minutes breaking up a large limestone rock that got caught in a basket I was pulling last week. Sometimes there will be limestone rocks in the ag lime and the spreader truck will throw them out in the field. My son is the...

    3 point Unverferth Rolling Basket Harrow

    I’ve thought about that but I need to be able to lift the implement up. The sections have a toothed harrow bar in front of the baskets that will make it hard to roll backwards. I’ve got a cut- down JD 7000 planter toolbar on wheels that I might try to mount the sections on.

    3 point Unverferth Rolling Basket Harrow

    I have (2) 48” Unverferth rolling basket harrow sections (see picture that I borrowed off of the internet) that we had to remove from the ends of a much wider implement. I’d like to put them on a 3 point hitch tool bar to pull behind my M5660. Has anyone built something like this? Thanks Bill

    Victor regulator question

    I bought a pair of Victor 250 series Medalist Made in USA regulators for $45. Both look like they have seen little use. The oxygen regulator is model 250-80-540. The fuel gas regulator is model 250-40-510LP marked “LIQ. PETRO. GAS ONLY”. I intend to use these with a Victor 100C handle and CA1350...

    Tractor and loader manuals contradict

    M5660 operation manual page 50 says don’t operate boom and bucket cylinders simultaneously. LA1154 loader operation manual page 9 indicates simultaneous operation is standard procedure. What is the correct procedure?
