Another creation......
Topical too for time of year.
Chain harrows I made 2 years ago. Harrows were old horse harrows I got at scrap money. Bloody heavy. So created a frame to put em in, with folding wing from steel I had about.

That looks a tidy job. Any pictures of the hydraulic brakes you've fitted on the sledge?

More for taking extra trailer to outlieing land 12miles away.
Must admit didn't weld it myself. Had a new uprated axle put on trailer, thought kill 2 birds with 1stone so to speak. All i did was finish it off with paint and fittings after it had been welded 2 yrs ago.

You didn't future proof it then, by fitting air instead?

Think that would confuse him even more, especially since hes on the brakes on the headland all the while. Only 2 spool levers in cab so 1 for turnover as per donkeys years and now 1 for press release.

Welded on they make good loops for holding hyd hoses cabling etc any spring will do

And a complete 'ring' of 3 makes a holder for the 7 pin plug on the front of a trailer.

Went into the workshop this morning and spent an hour looking for the calibration bucket for the amazone, only to find grandfather had thrown it out when he had his winter tidy up as "it was full of rubbish so i assumed it was just an old bucket"
so, with the aid of a 25 ltr oil can, a fencing stake and a bit of creativity
we have this!
