Milkweed
Yearling... With promise
Here are some pics of my build from last year.
I ordered:
(25) cultipacker wheels from Agrisupply @ $8.49ea. ($212.95)
(2) 1.75" pillow block bearings @ 15.95 ea ($31.90)
I couldnt find a whole lot of options for the 1.75" cold rolled steel in my area.
Ended up giving $40.00 for a 5' piece. I am not real sure if that was any near what it should have cost. I know they added an $8 cut fee in there as well.
I cant remember for sure, but I think I used one spacer to tighten up the wheels.
I used a left over 20' stick of 2" square tubing I had laying around and put a hole in the end to connect to UTV/ATV/ tractor.
Only used 23 of the 25 wheels. Now I have a spare if I need to replace one.
I ended up deciding I wont have a lot of use for wheels currently. I wont be traveling very far, and over soil when I do need to. I may look into it in the future.
I added a frame on top to fit some cinder blocks for added weight in rocky soil.
I have one year of use out of it and do not have any complaints. I do catch myself wondering how much good I am actually doing on such rocky ground... Would like to eventually get a no till drill, but not today.
