Thanks, but don't know who!

Thanks, but don\'t know who!

I saw a post here in the last couple of days where someone had built a dethacher that fit into his 3ph trailer tugger reciever. I can't find the post now, but just wanted to say thanks for the idea. I got enthused whit the idea because I bought a house to fix up and resale. This house has a 3 inch layer of Gumballs from 2 big Sweetgum trees and I didn't have any way to remove them, except a hand rake that I can't find the starter on.
I went into my shop this morning and built me a 3ph reciever and went to TSC and bought $26 worth of spring tines and made a detacher. I also built me a yard tool. I had a 62 " 4 X 8 in beam, and found a box with 21 RR spikes. All told, I spent $48 , and now have a 3ph reciever, a detacher, and a shop built yardtool. From the time I got back from TSC, till I had all 3 made, and painted was a little over 5 hours.
Anyway, I want to thank whomever it was that attached the photos of his shopmade detacher.
Ths, Nat

Nat,

Hope you can post a picture or two one of these days!

Sounds like a very productive day! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I recently built a 3pt dethatcher for another TBNer, MikeD. It is 2 pieces, a removable 3pt hitch and the dethatcher frame. I posted a picture of the tine attachment in an earlier post. I have a few more pictures of the construction process and the primed finished product that I will get around to posting once my son gets them off his camera. Maybe this weekend. I believe MikeD will post pics of the finished painted dethatcher when he gets it painted.

Re: Thanks, but don\'t know who!

I don't know how to make my pics smaller. I took 6 pictures, but it won't let me attach them as they are 111k and it will only let me use 100k. I was going to show the rake and the reciever in one and the yard tool in another and my tilt trailer and then the golfcart in a seperate one, the cart is the only one less that 100k. Anyone know to make them smaller?
