Cultivator/Spring tooth build

[North Idaho Wolfman]

Spent most of yesterday making a Cultivator/Spring tooth for the B7100.
The square tube is 3" 3/8 thick so it's got enough weight.
The last one I made was 3 tooth and it just didn't have enough weight to work efficiently!

Nice work, well done.

Thanks!

I have found that with a little steel and a few tools I can build most of what I need or want for cheaper than I can buy it pre built.
Besides It keeps me busy and out of trouble.

Great job! How did you mount the springs?

The springs are bolted to the 3" tube with 1/2" grade 8 bolts.
I drilled the holes for the bolts the drilled two small holes next to the original 1/2" hole, I then fed the bolts inside the tube and into the holes then welded them in place with the 2 smaller holes.
It made for a cleaner look over having long bolts sticking out the top of the tubes.

Thanks! I'm looking for a field harrow to knock down the clumps at my place. That could do the job!

If your not up to building one yourself let me know and I could build one for you, you could even go a little wider with your L pulling it.
