Hi
A friend of mine asked me if i could build him a spike harrow to tow behind a quad
His wife has a horse she rides on a arena made from what looks like bark chippings
It has become compacted and needs braking up
This is what i came up with
!0 metres of 40 mill heavy wall box section and a bit of welding

Hi John,

Looks great nicely made, looks strong.

I use to work on a farm many years ago. There was a special hitch that would disengage if the plough or whatever decided to dig in. Otherwise the tractor would tip up and throw you off the back right under the plough.

Just thought I would mention it.

...or just make sure the hitch point is below the level of the rear axle. :beer:
