I want to make (well, have hubby make) a double toolbar for my Allis G. I
want to be able to use sweeps, disks, and possibly furrowers on it. I plant
mostly on 18" centers, but some stuff on 9" centers, hence wanting the
double bar for two banks of sweeps. We have the master tool carrier and hand
lift. Any advice on whether to use flat stock or diamond stock (what size)
for the toolbar? And I would LOVE to find quick connect clamps. I can keep a
wrench handy if needed, but it seems there should be clamps with a lever -
lift up to release, down to clamp down. Any one know of any reasonable? Was
going to get a basket weeder but we have a few too many rocks.
Thank you.
For now I have a pipe clamp on the single flat toolbar that I am using to
mark rows. Down one side, back on the other, lay out and fill drip tape,
measure the center and mark for the middle row and lay/fill drip tape on
those marks. Use the drip tape to straighten out the driving squiggles.
Would be better to have all three marked at once. But still, they look
better than I've managed in the past.
Thank you.
Finally some drizzles. About a half inch. Much needed but the weeds are
going to really pop now.
