Homemade "Shovel Rack" Keeps Tillage Shovels Organized

Homemade "Shovel Rack" Keeps Tillage Shovels Organized TILLAGE EUIPMENT Miscellaneous 23-5-41 "Our homemade æshovel racks' work great to store shovels off field cultivators and plows. The racks keep the shovels up off the floor so they stay clean and out of the way," says Joel Waldner, Lethbridge, Alberta. Waldner is a member of a Hutterite colony with a large farm operation. Since they farm several thousand acres they go through a lot of shovels, buying about 600 new ones every year. Each rack can store up to 150 shovels so they made four of the racks. Each 6 1/2-ft. high rack consists of a drill stem pipe welded onto a disc blade that serves as the base. A series of 16-in. long, 3/4-in. dia. rods spaced 1 ft. apart are welded to the sides of the pipe. The shovels simply slip over the rods.
