Byron. I used an old hot water tank. Took about 12 inches out of length,reversed lower end plate so both ends would be convex and welded axle through the middle. Made up the hitch assy. and used pillow block bearings with grease fittings. Weighs about 650 LBS full of water. B10Dave

I like homemade attachments even if they are not stylish...If they work, I like. This is a nice little hiller that came with my B112, it beats a hoe and rake but I would like to have larger sweeps to make taller rows.

Hey, Snohiker Rob;

Whatcha got for a lift on the front bucket?
And what kind of metal is the bucket made of? Is it really light? Hard to tell from pix.

"Nice looking little sprayer there, Dave. Do you still get to use it much with the pesticide ban?"
What pesticide ban? I never got the memo. Our local AG store sells some wicked stuff, of course my neighbors new baby also has a tail, now that's wicked

Gray. I don't use the sprayer much but not because of Dalton McSquinty's pesticide ban. I live in a rural area and am surrounded by farmland. We used to own a farm and I had a pesticide applicaters licence. The local farm supply still has my number on file so I can buy glyphosate and 24D,B without any hassle. I hate made in Toronto solutions for the rest of the province. B10Dave.

Dave, I saw him as trouble before the election - I wonder how blind people can be. I await the change in the next election.

I think it was last night's news, TO is experiencing an epidemic of bedbugs, and they blame lack of 24D in the environment for the problem. = bizarre!

I have this garage that's infinitely and endlessly cluttered with stuff the PO left behind. Some amazing goodies, including some basic killex type items, which I have not used - and I keep thinking about it - as the weeds take over more and more and more, I think the hand sprayer is going to play soon. I think glyphosate is still over the counter since it breaks down in a week or so. Some folks use it like spot killex for that spotted lawn look.

There's also an amazing crop of crabgrass this season due to the hot weather. I think there will be a lot of rumblings when the seeds from all those new crabgrass plants take over everybody's lawn; especially if we get an ugly early spring that causes winterkill or snowmold. That will be a direct invite for crabgrass to take over. Fascinating stuff. Go green. uh huh. Good idea if you have a power lawn.

Bed bugs are being brought in by "overseaes" er, travelers, from certain locations. Heard it on the news plaguing NYC and Cincinnati Ohio, dormitories, hostel, and hotels, being hit the hardest, then making their way home with hotel staff
