Chisel Plow Makes A Great Brush Rake
Remove all the shanks, take the longest bar and slip the shanks back on, evenly spaced about a foot apart. They work great to handle cut down cedar trees and brush.
“One guy mopped up 400 acres with his,” Easley says.
He welded his 10-ft. rake to a quick-attach plate (less than $200) universal hookup for his skidsteer, but the rake could also be mounted on a tractor loader. With producers abandoning chisel plows for no-till and other tillage equipment, the plows are inexpensive if you don’t own one, Easley says.
He has built and sold a few of the rakes in Missouri, but says it’s any easy and useful project farmers can do anywhere there are chisel plows waiting to be repurposed.
