One-Pass Tillage Rig For Wildlife Food Plots

One-Pass Tillage Rig For Wildlife Food Plots CHISEL PLOWS Chisel Plows 58B Lamar Reynolds Hogansville Ga combined an old 3-pt mounted 9-shank chisel plow with a 3-pt mounted 8-disc harrow to come up with a one-pass tillage rig I use it for planting wildlife food plots Even with dry conditions this year it did a great job says Reynolds The plow was originally 7 ft wide and the harrow 5 ft wide Reynolds removed the 3-pt hitch from the harrow and bolted it on the back of the plow The plow was originally equipped with 5 short shanks in the middle with 2 longer shanks on each side Reynolds unbolted the short shanks and moved them up front then moved the 2 long shanks back on each side of the harrow Then he used lengths of angle iron to build a brace that extends up to the plow s 3-pt hitch and welded it between the two rigs It leaves the ground ready to plant and is a real time saver says Reynolds In the past I always had to plow the ground first and then follow up with a harrow Now I can plow and harrow at the same time Since the photos were taken I mounted a 150-lb drag bar on back of the rig which leaves the ground totally smooth Another advantage is that the two shanks on each side of the harrow eliminate the need to make an overlap on the next pass which I d normally have to do with a conventional harrow It didn t cost much to build either I paid $400 apiece for the plow and harrow Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Lamar Reynolds 6855 Lone Oak Rd Hogansville Ga 30230 ph 706 594-2804; elamar5148@hotmail com
