New sleeve hitch toolbar
I bought a yoke from xtrememotorworks.com and had a friend weld some 2" tube on it. I'm waiting for some hilling discs and clamps to arrive. I'd also like to find a middlebuster to clamp to the center tube as I have a drainage furrow in my yard I'd like to clean up.
So, now the really important question...what color do I paint it? It will be a rattle can job since it's likely to get scratched up pretty quickly by the clamps. I've got some Valspar CC yellow or do I get some white/cream?

Re: New sleeve hitch toolbar
Since most attachments for cc were white I would go with the white.

Re: New sleeve hitch toolbar
My vote is white as well. I think it would stand out and look sharp.

I paint all my home built attachments black. Doesn't show the dirt as bad and I always have some on hand.

Re: New sleeve hitch toolbar
Thanks for adding the poll, Scott C. Makes my request seem more legit!
Here's how it looks with the disc hiller/bedders.

Re: New sleeve hitch toolbar
It worked very well. I hilled after I tilled and it saved me hours of back-breaking, blister causing raking and hoeing. Especially because the ground is still really wet and heavy here in VT. I was able to create beds of various widths, up to 21" wide, which generally still covered my tire tracks. I'm really glad I made it. Oh and I got the NAPA white paint to put on it (once I get around to it )

Holly Mackerel Grant That thing is huge!
I recall the layout of your property behind the house and that pic don't do it justice
Why don't you whack down a stand of trees and trench up another acre while your at it
I voted yellow, that's if you can ever get all the mud off for paint

I didn't plow up my entire back yard, Ken! This is an area behind the yard but in front of the meadow. Here's the back yard. You can see my IHCC in the back left to the area behind the birch trees is the veggie plot. It's about 75x100' total.
Forgive the portable chicken coop. They're doing double duty eating the ants in the lawn and fertilizing this spring/summer!

Re: New sleeve hitch toolbar
Those photos where from the past few years of gardening, this year however the wife decided that she and I did not need such a large garden and I now am looking for a smaller cub to work the soil in the new garden.
Looks like I may have to go thrift saleing to find a smaller cub.

Hilling potatoes in 10 seconds flat. Maybe I don't need to throw it into high gear next time.
