This one is a plow I built for installing irrigation drip lines. The machine is built from 4x4x3/16 box tube with ½" steel plate doublers on top and bottom of the rear blade mount. 5/8" holes equal spaced allow for just about any spacing between installed lines.
The spools have ½" hyvar bolted to the cross bars to act as bearings and simple pvc pipe spacers to keep it simple.
The blades are just riper blades from a box blade with 1/8 steel plate welded to make a channel for the drip line and a generous radius so it won't kink.
I have an extra 3 point attachment left over from another project that I intend to make a single ripper like this one but to run/bury cable quicker than my trencher?hen I get around to it.
