Handy Articulated Tiller Cart

Handy Articulated Tiller Cart When Paul Sieber built his “tiller cart” a couple decades ago he had no idea how much his son Del Sieber would later appreciate it     “Dad was an inventive person He took old things and would find usefulness for them ” Del explains     When Paul bought a new tiller he figured the old tiller would make a handy cart He removed the tines replaced them with wheels and attached the power unit with a bolt to a cart that he made with an axle angle iron and plywood     “The frame holds the bolt that connects to the tiller and it articulates As you turn the tiller it pivots on the bolt ” Del says noting the cart is very stable     It’s also very handy with a basket and back shelf to haul tools and other items That’s become important for Del who has a genetic bone condition     “It became a way for me to get around a lot easier ” he says whether it’s to the mailbox or the garden He’s used it for about 18 years and when the old tiller engine died he replaced it with a 5 hp engine His wife made it more comfortable with a foam seat covered with vinyl     Del doesn’t go fast with it and it has no reverse but it gets him where he needs to go Using it also gives him good memories about his dad     “I use it more than Dad did ” Del says and he plans to take good care of it in his memory     Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Del Sieber 1642B C R 500 E Champaign Ill 61822 ph 217 778-6283; dsieb@juno com
