Homemade hiller project

[BTackett]

I was looking at the homemade cultivator thread and decided to post this also. NOTE: I am not an artist but tried to show what I was explaining. This is a Farm Pro cultivator and has removable tines with bolts on the supporting arms. I want to add a piece of 1 1/4 square tubing to the bottom on of the arms after removing the tines and then use the Hillers from AgriSupply and adjust accordingly to what my rows will be. I just cannot see spending the $175+ hillers for ASC hiller hookup when I basically can made my own.
Does this look like it will work? Any suggestions? I guess the biggest thing would be the angle to run the hillers , I could use the top link to adjust this also.

Any ideas or criticism would be appreciated.

thanks,
Bill

Bill, One problem I might see is ...Are your hillers going to be lining up behind the tractors tires?? If not it might work.

They would have to be mounted on the inside of the square tubing. My rear wheels are about 44" on the outside so that leaves me a lot of room on the inside if I mount the bar further back.
