Morris Rodweeder Fitted To 3-Pt. Hitch
 ✖  |
There are a lot of unused Morris rodweeders around our area now because most farmers have gone to continuous cropping. My friend Derek Colwell took one and adapted it to fit the 3-pt. hitch on our Ford tractor. He took the wheels that were in front of the frame and moved them back to allow for a closer mount. With the wheels behind, the drive had to be reworked in order to drive the rod in the right direction. This was done by mounting two idler sprockets on the unit to reverse the drive.
