Creep Feeder Mounts On Cultivator Wheels

Creep Feeder Mounts On Cultivator Wheels CULTIVATORS After he bought a used skid-mounted creep feeder from a neighbor Chuck Hardenburger mounted it on the wheels and axle off an old 6-row cultivator and also built a tongue with a clevis hitch The cultivator’s depth control wheel jacks are used to raise and lower the feeder “I use it on pastures scattered several miles apart I can quickly lower the feeder down to the ground and then crank it back up and travel down the road at highway speeds ” says Hardenburger “In the past I had to winch the feeders onto flatbed trailers making sure they were empty so they were easier to load Now it doesn’t matter whether the feeder is full or empty ” He already had the cultivator which was equipped with a 15-ft long axle clamped to a 2-in sq steel shaft He stripped the cultivator down to the axle and wheels used a chop saw to shorten the axle to 6 ft and then welded it to the feeder’s frame He also bolted the wheel jacks onto the frame and turned them backward to help balance the load Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Chuck Hardenburger 1995 Concord Rd Haddam Kan 66944 ph 785 778-2962; clhrdnbrgr@jbntelco com
