Wow, you put in a lotta tines, but I applaud your hardened effort. So you either do a large amount of tilling with self-powered units, or have a lotta rocks, or both. Nice pile behind the rotary; I got a few like that around the property from the decades of previous field work.I wore out the original hard faced tines, then re-hard faced them, and wore those out.
I installed a new set of hard faced, and wore those out.
Last year, I installed a third set of hard faced,, so the tines are now new.
The eBay seller had one more set of hard faced, he was a dealer going out of business, and was only charging half the usual price, delivered.
I went back, and bought the last set he had,, that set will patiently wait on the shelf.
Besides the TroyBilt, I also use a Gravely cultivator,, but, it is a little wide, for some things,
Cultivator on the left, rotary plow on the right,,
I even hard face welded the cultivator tines, and the rotary plow points,,
Yeah, I can see the cultivator might be a bit wide. Good for tending agave. Love the flames on the other; never seen one of those. I'd be interested in what powers these, and what HP rating.
Can'tcha just see the version of Pickers or Antiques Roadshow in 2071?:
"We're unsure, and our reseachers are still trying to determine when Gravely introduced the Flames Model Rotary Plow, and what was its significance. Sign up for insertion of the trans-dermal chip app to find out..." Maybe not.
I know my Kawa-powered Gravely Z-turn is one working mow-sheen.
