any ideas on improvements to banker

i cant see a problem with it at all mate .it will do an even better job when the soil is drier.
like karl says do a pass on each side and create a level mound rake off and get your roots in
was the tines turning at the same time frankie?

What tines do you mean Shaun?

And thanks for the links guys

the tines on the honda

Bigbadfrankie · « **Reply #23 on:** March 15, 2007, 21:03 »

The tractor unit only has wheels on the Honda. I have to hitch the rotovator on when I need it. The banker is hitched on instead of the rotorvator in the video.

ohh right frankie i just couldnt see em :roll:
so next question is how or can you control the depth of the banker?
the one i seen on a howard had a foot plate i think

Bigbadfrankie · « **Reply #25 on:** March 15, 2007, 21:26 »

Depth is controlled by the adjustable foot at the back controlled by the lever at the back. Also the threaded bar changes the angle of attack relative to wheel centers so the banker will dig deeper. First tests it seems to dig 6" or so deep.
