[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1226459, member: 16453"] Yeh they are just seed pots I made up to sprinkle seed into the broken ground behind the shank. The pot is 100mm PVC drainage pipe glued onto a 100 to 50mm reducer and a couple of end caps, all very cheap from the plumbing supplies. There is that plastic coated flexible curtain wire suspended through it and out the hole to just touch the ground and as it moves along it gets a bit of a jiggle and the seed trickles out works very well. [url=http://s1196.photobucket.com/user/Ken_Hollingsworth/media/DSCF3929.jpg.html][img]http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa403/Ken_Hollingsworth/DSCF3929.jpg[/img][/url] Just on those tines the feet just slip on the shank and a bit of heavy wire pushed through and bent back stops them from slipping off. Those feet would be as wide as those on Nesi's so they give plenty of lift and seperate. They are great to watch as the ground lifts up yet the grass is minimumly disturbed. The ground becomes a real mongrel to drive over afterwards though. The feet are a wear item but there are replaceable inserts available which will double their life. In that photo you can see the shear pin end on in the red part in the top left of the photo, it is just 12mm steel rod cut in 120mm lengths. They are easy to replace in less than a minute and I break plenty of them.
