Using row shields as in-row agitation with swinging spider?
|
|
|
|
Trying to simplify this concept to only focus on using hoe shield as a row shield, not for any other purposes...
|
|
|
|
Wanting to focus on that concept - instead of coming off of the row unit, come off of the toolbar (inbetween swinging spider units)
|
|
|
|
Prototype now to run in the fall (on bare ground)
|
|
|
|
Need fore-aft adjustment
|
|
|
|
Tilt the hoe wheels... allows crop to grow, more action, closer to crop
|
|
|
|
Add a funnel for the crop?
|
|
|
|
# GOALS / REQUIREMENTS
|
|
1. Extended and retracted position + fore-aft adjustment
|
|
2. Control height.... needs to be relative to the row unit
|
|
3. Tilt the hoe wheels / funnel the crop to protect the crop
|
|
4. Adjust in-out spacing
|
|
5. 4" to 12" high crop
|
|
6. Quickly swing out of the way and back into position
|
|
|
|
This seems really important to him.

|
Ball in my court to have a followup
