Anyone have a good design for an attachment to fit a riding mower to slice the ground, put the wire down and cover it back up ??? yes i am lazy :-) Dan N8DCJ __________________________________ Do you
Dan, Yes.. but I haven't photographed it yet. It's in my garage right now, but, as I won't be home for two weeks, let me try to describe it easily for you: The 'bed' is made of 2X8's .. four of them

I was trying to "invent" one of those as well. I had located a replacement blade part for a vibratory plow. It is a knife with a tube for a wire attached. The plan was to buy this part and homebrew t
Unfortunately, almost ALL 3 point hitches DO NOT apply any downward pressure - only upward pressure. This is true on nearly all tractors. Maybe you could modify the design shown in "Low Band DXing"?
What the landscape people use is an edger that they tilt to cut a trench where they place plastic or metal edging. It is only a couple of inches deep. You might want to consider renting such a machin
I think there is a picture & discription of one in the most recent edition of ON4UN's LOWBAND DXING book. 73, Stew K3ND http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk ________________________

Nope, I think Wendell has it right - three-point hitches usually don't have the ability to impart down force. The implements do it, usually by sheer mass or, in the case of plows, by down-vector forc

My brother-in-law rented a unit that was made for installing underground lawn sprinkling systems. Check out the rental centers in your area. It shouldn't cost too much to install some simple radials.
There is a very important point every one seems to be missing. "In a well designed plow you do not need to exert much fown force if any!" (I do realize we aren't aiming for perfection, but a little d
Nope, most large tractors do not have down force on the 3 point, but a few third world tractors do. I have a 68 HP Kubota. Only the weight of the implement provides the down force. Same on Ford, John

Don: This sounds like a great device for laying radials. Tell us more about the blade. Does it roll or drag through the soil? Is it made from a piece of plate or was it originally another attachment?
If you are going to lay them on top of the ground, the old wooden clothespins (without the spring) work fine every 2 or three feet to get them down into the grass. They are hard to find but can be lo
