Home made Banker

I have spent ages drawing up a banker. It was my intention that it could be made at home with basic DIY tools. No lathes or mills ect.
A picture of the prototype.

I thought a banker was someone who looked after money....is that not a plough? :?

Great Frankie, fine bit of design and workmanship, but what kind of monster would you need to pull it ? sure my little 3hp flymo would just die thinking about it

It cost about £25 in materials. But i also had to buy some jober drills at 16mm & 20mm.
I think 3hp would pull it. But traction might be a problem you might have to add wheel weights.

A video of banker in action. Poor quality but it gives an idea of how it works.

Mountfield did one for your machine and it had a little wheel to adjust depth.
