Walk behind Tractors for small holdings

Here is my Gravely walk behind with a rotary plow, I have slowly collected some attachments. So far I have rotary plow, rotary tiller, brush hog, snow blade, snow blower, 50 inch mower and steering sulky. There as a tractor show this weekend so hopefully I find some more stuff. The walk behinds are great

Ive seen them on U tubes. Seems to work great

Amadioranch, I have NO doubt I can find lots of implements this weekend. My problem is
#1 I don't know what you want to pay for particular implements
#2 I don't know who ships them, tho ive heard Fastenal does ship, but IO don't know that.
#3 Without knowing what they would charge to ship a pallet load of implements, I have no way to charge for hauling them home from the sale, then back to Tulsa to whatever shipper, and their rate for shipping.
#4 Your not a long time poster on here, so I got no feel for you as a person. In other words, You don't know me, and I don't know you. A plow, disc, cultivator, and small 2 wheel cart, like DB made, might run up to $200. Who knows what shipping would be besides that.

Yea I don't think the plow is DB stick but it works that's all I care about lol
As for my fencing the sides are permanent but the two end rows are removable so I can replow, cultivate, disc or harrow without any complications

That outa work then

Relax FBB, I wasnt expecting you to go out and put up money on a slew of implements for me. I was hoping that someone might have some old implements laying around that they may be willing to part with. But if not ill survive. Im a pretty industrious soul and ill make my own if I have to. I do envy your access to all that equipment tho. There sure isnt much around these parts. Oh well.

Thanks. I do feel bad that im more or less swamped with the stuff you cant find there.

I had an extra walk behind gaerden tractor, I think an older Sim. It had brand new tires and tubes on it. Yesterday I took them off, and the plow. Its an inch bigger plow than on my Sim with gear shift. I think im going to try to fit it to my Copar Panzer, little 3 wheel tractor.

Ill sell the tires and wheels separate the remains of the garden tractor. I paid $107 each

Ill tell ya, I thought I had scored today. Went and saw this old boy with a tractor wrecking yard. Talked to him about needing implements for my tractor and he said he had a bunch of them. Went back and found them but they were all sears and roebuck/david bradley. I could have adapted them but he wanted $100 each. Thats too much for something that really aint right.

Well, by the time you figured shipping from here, that might have been a bargain. Here they USUALLY sell for 1/2 that or less. I did pay $85 for a cultivator, that somebody else wanted nearly as bad as me. But that's rare.

Yeah if they were the right ones for my tractor I would have paid the $100 each. I may still if I cant find anything in the next 6 months. But im not that desperate yet.

Finding DB implements is easy. I have a disc and plow here. Finding Sim stuff is MUCH harder. I have the plow im going to use on my Panzer. H have 2 other discs, one turned out to throw dirt away from the center, and one turned in to throw dirt towards the center, and I don't know what they are,

Nice machine Amadio! Amazing what you can do with those things. Eastern europeans are big fans of them, crazy they do with them, some even run a drive shaft back to a trailer axle for 4x4. Somebody may tell me I'm wrong but it looks like your tires might be on backwards. I farm 6 acres with a Sears garden tractor and it works great as long as I respect its limitations. Folks are always telling me I need a several thousand dollar farm tractor, but the Sears does everything I need.

The most useful implement that im really needing is cultivator. Ive found one online but its going to cost $145 by the time it gets to me. My fear is that if I pass on it, I may not find another for a long while out here in Arizona.

I've been in search of some of the harder to find parts sickle, plow, stump saw and front mower most I've found are either beyond repair or too far to go for pickup

Wow, op's original photo brings back memories. Mid 60's till around 1973 my father had one w/ three Sickle bar heads, snow plow and moldboard plow. He bought a side business from a co-worker who mowed weed lots [town had an 18" limit on the code] and together we mowed a lot of weeds. Back then you could get parts! I think our unit was originally built in the mid to late 50's.. We got it w/ (2) 7.5hp Clinton engines and we would rebuild one when the other started to smoke and get hard to start.

The drive hubs at each axle end wore out and dad had his buds take them to the foundry @ Ingersoll Rand in Phillipsburg, NJ and the re-cast the hubs to build up the missing surface where the 'dogs' would catch to go from freewheeling to driving. Then the guys in the Camron Pump Division machined new bushings.

If you watch the wheel ends the interior of the hub will rotate until the dog catches a tooth inside the outer hub and away you go. Mowing you would get to the end, push down on the handles to lift he mower head and could pivot around 180 degrees and let up on the handles to start mowing. You can watch the outside tire's hub rotate til the dog catches. Gong down hill you could raise the mower and it would start freewheeling.

They were real workhorses. Ours worked 7 days a week from May to October b/4 coming home w/ the snowplow, wheel weights & chains to sit in the garage. During snow days from school I would start it up, plow out the garage and the entire block's sidewalks.

Thanks for the memory.

I was able to find some decent implements in Wisconsin and am in the process of getting them shipped via Fastenal back here to Phoenix. Yippie

Id say you done good. Implements look to be in good shape. Did I say a harrow would be hard to find.

Also not pictured there is the wheel weights and snow blade that are part of the deal. Dont know what ill use a snow blade for in Phoenix but what the heck, ill take it. Yeah you are right about the spike harrow, none to be found. Thats alright, I have a small chain harrow that works to be pulled behind the lawn tractor. Sure is gonna be nice to have some mechanical help in our growing from now on. Ive been killing myself with doing most things with a push wheel hoe and other hand implements up until now. But ive found the limits of the size im growing and what my body can take.

How big is your garden
