Shakaerator info request

[Warp Land Farmer]

Do Shakaerator legs taper from top to bottom at all or are they straight plate?
Not the shins or anything, just the main leg?
I can’t find a front on photo on Google to see and don’t know anyone who owns one to go have a look.
Can anyone with one tell me?
Many thanks as always.

no ,straight same thickness with the point knocked on ,no pins or bolts holding them on ,,they do have replaceable shins held on with roll pins

My shins are just held by the foot at the bottom and the bolted band at the top.

Yes ,you are correct ,,I was thinking of the subsoiler legs we had ,just googled a picture

They’re straight, but as they wear they do tend to wear more towards the bottom which may make them look like they’ve been made tapered.

Thankyou all

The legs are cast steel but can be welded, They are 32mm thick but at the knock on point its only 23mm.
I am looking for some worn or bent legs if there are any local. I have 2 part worn legs hear with wide points and new shins for px, ( sorry for hijack ).

Thanks for the info. Bring cast, how easily can they be drilled?

Cant see drilling being a problem but you may need to cut down the drill speed.

Are you going to let us all know what you are planning?

Why do you want to drill them . If your buying some , get the ones you can use the points that have a roll pin to hold them on , @Tim Howard . Put these in twb but need to cut some leg tops s as nd cut. Shaky legs as brackets we made to bolt legs too makes them very long, whst are they like to weld.

There are some things you shouldn't ask!!! It'll be some sort of weird Yorkie thing

A direct drill for planting money trees!!
I normally cut the legs about 4" from the top and weld a thick plate around the stump to take my socket. Agricast weld sumo leg bottoms on the shakaerator legs so i'm not the only one. No problem welding them at all.

Do you also supply the money trees?

 

[Tim Howard]

Still saving up to get the seed. It seams that you need money to grow money and i'm skint, bugger.

Was going to put a handle on one so you could use it to fend off all them chaps you keep attracting with your Grinder profile.

No problem with welding these, just make sure you weld the bottoms on straight as the sides do taper slightly as mentioned by @Tim Howard.

These were some short legs we welded our 20mm thick LDX bottoms to.

Make sure you grind them well down if you want a neat finish.
