  2. Having depleted my stocks of Lidl fluxcore welding wire, I've been using this stuff for a while now and its absolutely fine. The same really, quite possibly from the same factory.

    A fancy-brand fluxcore wire I bought from the DIY store in an emergency was slightly better, but not drastically so and definitely not justifying paying 60% more. I'm not welding passenger airplanes here.

  3. Sparkled the top fitting onto the frame and after thinking up various more or less convoluted clamp designs I went for a rummage in the tractor parts shed and found some almost suitable clamps.

    Just one backing plate short. I'll find something or make one and we should be ready for a test drive. The weather is being quite wet again so its not potato digging time.

  4. Improved the rear frame geometry for more ground clearance...
    Now I only need to fix the front and add brakes to it.

  5. Spiked!

    A few designs have the spikes bent upwards at the ends but I don't see what that is supposed to achieve.

    The spikes are for guiding the potatoes up while the soil falls between them and then drop them on top for easy picking. Any upward bend will just get them stuck.

    So that's basically it. The angle of attack looks too steep now, before it looked too shallow. But since it goes on a three-point hitch, I can adjust it some by tilting the frame.

    Next for some clamps to attach it to said frame.

  6. Progress on the actual potato digger part.

    Some scribbling on the workbench, two old plough blades (tough to cut but welded easily) and a double spring from a harrow for a neck.

    The spring steel is difficult to weld. If it doesn't hold, I'll replace it with something else, but the curve was just too perfect not to try. Added a reinforcement piece to help.

    Everything on the front got a visit from the grinder to smooth it over. Not to hide my welds but to protect the potato skins from damage.

    Lots of guesswork here. V-angle, diving angle, width, etc.

    It's a prototype :)

  7. Cut, cut, grind, grind, sparkle, sparkle. Frame for tractor attachment slapped together in a hurry.

    Part is recycled from the old drawbar I bent last year. The bar itself is a massively thick chunk of steel and has the lower pins already on it. I cleaned off the welds where the bent, flimsy frame was welded on, recycled the hitch into a top link fitting (no drilling holes, yay) and built the rest from C-channels that used to be somewhat overly sturdy fenceposts.

    The top link fitting is also bent from its previous life but I'm hopeful if I throw it in the sauna-forge tomorrow I can straighten it out.

    Yes, the top bar is super wide and there's a good reason for that.

  8. The thinking phase. Scrapmetal aided design and a lot of going "hmm".

    A plan is forming.

    Need a frame, this time I'll make a square one and general purpose because I've been wanting to do that for a while and then it can carry any number of simple tools like this potato digger, a furrower and maybe even pallet forks 2.0. 💡

    I think I might also manage to get drawbar functionality out of it, for both types of hitch. The goal here is to reduce the time spent swapping attachments around. Especially changing between drawbar and pallet fork wastes a lot of time.

  9. Mower fixed. Deck removed, bent metal thingie hammered back into place and shape and welded back on.

    Until we hit the next surprise steel post.

    Looks like we're due a new set of blades as well.

    Then deck reinstalled. This is the annoying part with holding the heavy thing in the right place while fiddling various finger-pinching things into their slots. And then wrestling the deck belt back on.

  11. A neighbor was out walking her dog and snapped an excellent photo of a deer hanging out with my Tristegatops. She was nice enough to come to the door and offer to sent me a copy.

    (A Tristegatops is what you get when you weld up a Triceratops but forget that it's actually Stegosaurus that has the tail spikes. I really wanted those tail spikes.)

  12. Back from a nice day off and catching up with some farm work.

    Potatoes are gaining size nicely, dug another bunch to eat, a few already had their winter skins on.

    #Knirps was given an apple tree and I found a nice place and planted it - where the old, dead apple tree used to be. New life for old. Very symbolic.

    Then loaded the infinite extension cable and the welder and carted them to a fence gate where a hinge broke off a while ago (ok, I broke it). Welded that back on and made the gate a bit longer by welding on some trash. Now I don't have to wedge an old window shutter in there anymore :blobcatblush:

  13. Saw some woman buying one of these ultra cheap welders, and realized her little kid was carrying it. I hope she's not buying it for the kid for a toy 😬(I was tempted to buy one myself, but given the advice I had gotten here about these being terrible, skipped it). #welding

  14. Still very happy with my DIY pallet forks made from rusty fence posts that I pulled out of the ground.

    I've hauled a few heavy things with them meanwhile and nothing broke, so I guess I can put a "SWL 500 kg" sticker on there. That's as much as the tractor can lift, although without a counterweight the front wheels go up 🤣

  15. Salut Masto,

    Je te présente ma shop... le paradis. 🤸‍♀️💫✨️

    Je suis encore en vacances donc je suis là souvent !

    Bonne journée !

  16. Maybe this is the way.

    Treat it like one single line of panels by extending the posts up attaching to a cross bar that would go the full length of the fence (or however long the line of panels is) and provide the base for each panel.

  17. Looking for some #diy #solar advice. Specifically, I am looking for a bracket solution whereby I could mount solar panels on the top of each fence post around the yard. (either full size 6x3ft rectangular panels or 5x5 “half size”?

    My backyard is in a state of flux, and the fence is new last fall so this is the time to do it.

    The brackets would need to attach on the inward facing side of the post, or as a “cap” over the top of the post and then have a bracket that holds the panel up and far enough away to clear the fence at an angle.

    The long side of our yard faces north/south so it is perfect for panels throughout the year.

    We get strong southerly winds so they would need to be solid.

    Suggestions appreciated. It would be great if there was something purpose built for mounting panels on fences.

    It might be something I just need to have made custom (there are lots of welding shops in town) but I am not sure how to make sure that the panel itself would be able to attach to the bracket properly.

  18. That simple cargo strap winder was well worth making!

    Got my ratchet straps rolled up in seconds after using them today.

    Before I'd just chuck them somewhere to deal with later and then next time they had become some kind of entangled knot of great annoyance. Or spend ages winding them by hand.

    I have dubbed it "Jonas Winder" 😀

    It also has since passed the firehose winding test, although you need a strong drill that can go slow enough (such as this one) for that.
