Ever build something that should work but doesnt and turns out to be good at something else?
I made this implement with the idea of having a pasture renovator. Principle of loosening the ground under the grass roots and only cutting some lines in the grass itself.
Well, the problem is that with nomatter how much weight on it, it would float on the ground and not digg in..
After having tilled a pasture (for reseeding) I had to flatten out things so i was looking for something to drag behind the tractor.
I connected 2 old wheels i have laying around and filled them with water.
The easiest way how to connect them to the 3pt was using the pasture renovator frame.
On one pass dragging the tires i left the renovator quite close to the ground by accident and all of a sudden... eureka!
With this setup i was able to "move" ground and flatten it out over the complete lenght of the pasture with really much better results than the tires alone.
The tires tend to float over smaller waves where the renovator would digg in and drag the earth along.
It saved me a lot of passes with a simple drag to get the pasture even.
After seeding i went over once more with the tires only to get the seed mixed in.
Now as last point, fortunately at the end of the job. I hit a stump earlier with my backblade ripping off the hydraulic cylinder. Well you know what? I hit the same stump with one grader tooth and ripped the main beam.
I'll edit the post with picture later on today.
