mailman 1 #1 Posted May 9, 2009 Thanks to John (aka wallfish) I was able to put together this homemade subsoiler. I used it for planting my potatoes. It loosens the soil at least 10 inches down. Maybe deeper. John was nice enough to send me two slot hitch blanks which my brother welded to a plow piece I wasn't using. Their aren't enough guys like that around anymore. I got the idea from a site called endtimesreport. Rik has a couple wheel horses that he has modified for his farming needs. Simple enough to put together. Thanks again John. I hope to meet up with you and share a few beers. My next project is in the works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaineDad 85 #3 Posted May 9, 2009 That's a great idea and project. If you add some weight will it go deeper? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coadster32 793 #4 Posted May 9, 2009 I agree, John is a heck of a guy. BEER...did you say BEER?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mailman 1 #5 Posted May 9, 2009 Micah, funny thing is, no weight is needed. It pulls itself down. It will go deeper if I set the depth gauge on tractor to let it lower. And by the way, the raider 12 doesn't even know it's there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.5racer 14 #6 Posted May 9, 2009 In that fist pic . Weld that opening betwen the first two welds to help from pullin apart at the hitch. Looks real good. Could be adaptable to change to a plow set-up as well it looks like . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 15,912 #7 Posted May 9, 2009 No problem at all Eric, glad to help out and looking forward to the beers. What's the next project you have in the works? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mailman 1 #8 Posted May 10, 2009 Terry, my brother already mentioned that he will weld that gap next time he gets a chance. It's not as bad as it looks, but better safe than sorry. John, the next project is in it's planning stages and will be posted as soon as I can get my brother to fire up the welder. He loves to weld and is waiting but I have a 4 month old and a 2 year old at home plus a 40'x 80' garden that needs attention badly so as soon as I can get pics, I will. P.S. You like Sam Adams? :drool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse_of_course 99 #9 Posted May 21, 2009 :omg: Looks like a great way to pull up all them utility wires! I had a lot of fun locating the invisible fence wires with a plow a couple of years back! :drool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
