looking for a tine round rake that that you pull behind the plow with a chain it has a tube that runs in the furrow to keep it in line someone said they thought it was called a spider rake anyone ever seen one or have one for sale thanks Howard
 
I have never seen one and i have been around plows for 70 pluss yrs i would guess it was made wouldnt be that hard to make one. We alwys pulled a harrow behing the plow was an old horse harrow narrow enough to cover the 3-14 didnt have any problems with the harrow but did need a guard over the stem on the tire when you turned right
 
I have one looking for another

have never seen one what was it for? Did it run on the plowed ground or on the land side? May sound dumb and that's ok. I just can't picture it in use.
 
That is the unit used on land after the corn stalks were choped to rake them into the previous plow furrow so they would get covered up and also make it so the plow did not clog up with stalks. Units for working the ground ran flat and were heavier.
 
A different version of that was made to move straw off into the plowed ground before the invention of straw choppers for combines. I guess we could never afford one; when the straw was too thick to plow through, I walked ahead and kicked the straw over onto the plowed ground so my plow wouldn't plug up. When a plow plugged up, it took a lot of brute force to get it unplugged again.
 
I was told at the auction I bought it at they were used to turn stalks under I thought they said Corn stalks it is still about in the same place as in the pic posted,, I bought it as it was really ODD and I had not seen one before

hanks for the answer, it make sense to have this type of machine. I can remember trying to unplug a two bottom plow many times and as was said it took a lot of work.
 
We always walked a plow to keep it from plugging if it was bad trash. Dad and I plowed about 10 acres that way one time on a piece of dirt to get the grass turned under.

It wasn't that your dad could not afford one, it was because you cheerfully worked for a very reasonable hourly rate. :lol:
 
They came in different sizes up to a 5 bottom. I have one for a 3 bottom and works great. I would sell mine also if interested, I'm in Mn. Gordy in Mn. 612 986 6151
 
We had one just like that, used it behind a 900 case and a 4 bottom JD plow. We never chopped stalks and we didn't plug to often. We may have had two of them. After we got a IH 700 plow never used it again, it still plugged but not to often. I haven't plowed now in 25 years or more either chiseled or ripped.
