Hello all. Recently we have been making a home made cultivator I just wanted to see what you guys thought of it so far.... :D

Sharpened with the grinding stone that was being run by the Raider 10

Once it's compleat we will be spraying her up and adding the wheel horse implements stickers

Charlie,

 

You have been having way too much fun with your Wheel Horse.  All you guys "across the pond" are very creative!

 

Nice job.

[Charlie Smith 142]

Thank you. Yes the idea just popped into my head one Sunday morning next think I know. There we are making one.

Very nice implement!

And powering the grinder with the Horse!

[Charlie Smith 142]

Thank you KC9KAS.... And we had to get the wheel horse involved in the build somehow lol.

You have been busy Charlie, can't wait to see how your cultivator looks when it's finished.

 

Here's a photo of one I build years ago.. It started life as part of a Mercedes tow bar and kinda grew from there.

Wow looks brilliant.... Looks as of your welding skills are some what better then mine, lol, also is that a tool box on the side of your wheel horse.

Thanks.

Charlie.

Thanks Charlie.. I have good welding days and bad welding days.. As my cultivator was welded up may years ago using a knackered MIG welder and nothing has fallen off, it must of been a good welding day..

Though I have to admit the cultivator not being used for the past 5 years might have something to do with it.

 

Yep that is a tool box, a chopped, channeled and narrowed filing box.

[Charlie Smith 142]

I think we all have good and bad days lol. And you should really put it to work then sometime soon. And as for the tool box great idea. How did you hold it on there.? Just bolted?

Thanks

Charlie.

[Stigian 1,234]

Yep, it's just bolted on.

Not wanting to hijack your thread but I found a couple of before and after pics of the tool box..

 

 

[Charlie Smith 142]

Ah looks like a lot of work was involved in that lol.

Thanks

Charlie.

The fun part was welding the really thin metal back together.. It's not water tight by any means, but is very handy for carrying tool, towing pins, jump leads about in.

[Charlie Smith 142]

Yes I was thinking of adding a tool box. But I was going to put mine where you have your battery box.

Charlie

[Stigian 1,234]

The only problem I have found with my tool box is it's just at the right height for people to try and sit on!!!!!

[Charlie Smith 142]

Well just never work with lazy work men then no bums will try purch there. Although I will admit I do sometimes where convenient like to sit down on the job. Aha

Charlie.
