Hello everyone,
Just wanted to share a project that is (almost) completed. I used just over a 2' wide piece of 16" culvert pipe, 2" PVC, 1.5" metal pipe and 4.5 80 lb bags of concrete to create these mini packers.
The original plan was to do 2-2' sections then combine them into 1 packer, but I don't think the wheelers I have access to can pull 720 pounds around the hills here in Northern PA.
I got the frame put together last night and just have to drill and add some pins to the ends of the metal pipe and figure out a way to attach the tongue to the wheeler (thinking a chain through a clevis but I'm open to suggestions).
Total cost (after finding the wood for the frame in the garage and being given the culvert pipe) was ~75$.
Also, I will get 2 packers out of this. I figured I can just use it to cover the space in between the wheelers tires when planting.
Want to give credit where it's due, so here's what I used as an example:
.
Will be using it this weekend so I hope to add some videos or additional pictures.
