A cultivator is an agricultural tool designed to loosen the soil. In other words, it is the same harrow, only more advanced. Modern cultivators are quite expensive and often summer residents simply do not have the funds to buy them. What to do in this case? There is always a way out, a unit for processing land allotments can be made by hand.
It is necessary
- - wheel;
- - lancet paw;
- - bike frame;
- - fasteners;
- - bicycle wheel.
Instructions
Step 1
Design a small diagram of your cultivator by sketching it on a piece of paper. We suggest using the simplest option, which can be seen just below: 1 - a bicycle wheel or a wheel from any wheelbarrow (support wheel) 2 - a duckfoot of a cultivator (with a mounting block) 3 - a frame from an old bicycle
Step 2
Prepare all the necessary parts for your cultivator (wheel, duckfoot, bike frame, fasteners, bike handlebars). All items can be found at any "flea market", and fasteners and a lancet paw can be purchased at a specialized store. These parts, we note, will cost several times cheaper than the finished unit.
Step 3
Take the bike frame and attach the cultivation foot to it using the block, as shown in the figure. For fastening, use special fastening bolts that will allow your plow to sit tightly and not loose.
Step 4
Check that the duckfoot is not wobbling. Move on to pinning the wheel. Remember, the cultivator wheel should not be too large, as it will be inconvenient for the person following the machine to work with their implement. The wheel is installed in the same way as in a bicycle, only it has slightly different dimensions and, accordingly, different bolts for fastening.
Step 5
Attach a handle to be used as a push handle. To do this, you can use a simple bicycle handlebar, or weld it from tubes, welding them in a T-shape. Paint the frame of your device a practical color and let it dry. Check the performance of your cultivator in practice.
Step 6
By analogy, you can make a cultivator and an electric one, but in this case, an electric motor will also have to be connected to the frame.
