Shakerator points

[stel]

Keep losing points on shake raptor was thinking of drilling hole throng points and feet and using a roll pin to keep in place any thoughts?

All you need to do is put some tack of weld on the bottom of the leg! The small bumps which the point knocks over have worn down and not holding.
This is all i do on ours only takes a few minutes and as good as new!

Wrap a strip of hessian sack around the tip before you hammer the point on

Have seen them roll pined as well (lee does this) but its hassle drilling new points and hard not to get swarf etc inside the point if you use gas axe or plasma

Had the legs drilled out properly and then we just gas the points. We didn't loose a point last autumn at all in over 2000ac of work. You can just see off this pic but I dont have any close ups sorry.

do you have a jig to get the point hole in the right spot with the gas ?

 

[warksfarmer]

No we just guess it and have a leg in the workshop to try it on. If its to small we just make it bigger. Think we messed up on one which at £7.50/point isn't drastic.

Are they adaptable for Sumo's. would like some shakerator type legs as main one with old ones being kept for when I eventually sell it. If so can you point me in the right direction to order some

 

[grumpy]

your title says shakerator then you say shake raptor?

Spalding's.... Just ordered 6 to weld on my sumo legs... Special offer £90 each..

 

[warksfarmer]

We bought complete shakerator legs for £69 each and chopped the tops off. Then bought a sheet of Hardox steel and had the Sumo top bits cut out, then welded it together. Used a local engineering firm to make sure we matched the steel correctly. We have them running in trio and quatro and I also know of a tinemaster with them in as well.

Did these include points,shin & clamp? Looked on Malpasonline and you're looking at £105 for the lot?

Could well of done as there are 7 points shins and clamps on pallet with legs...
We have shelf full points so doubt old man just ordered 7 points.

Lee have they stood it ok looks a small area where welded together. Looking at doing same what are they wearing like compared to standard point and do you get shatter or are they like a knife through butter. Very abrasive sand with Flint here and looking for an alternative

We have bent 1 on some sandstone but yes they have worked very well for us. They do the same job as a shakerator does which is lift and shatter but we do not have any sand land.

Have you tried or had the Spalding point with roll pin hole in it , just made some legs to take the points and shins

 

[Scragger]

We use the spaldings points, they last a dam sight longer than the originals and don't fall off because of the roll pin

 

[TripleSix]

I make sure the bottom of the leg has a good bump on it, you can get narrow shims that slot into the top of the point and hold them on very well.

Make sure you don't reverse with it in the ground too!
