That is impressive on multiple fronts. The design and build for one and the presentation of the design and build here. Nice work!

Regarding the "Roller Pivot Assembly".

 

[Sam]

Nice you have all the cool DIY tools!

Do you use this in place of a cultipacker or in addition to a cultipacker ? What is it's primary use ? I already have a nice roller for my tractor, but I don't use it much as it's hard to get the plot smooth enough for it to make even contact with the ground. Nice work BTW !

I guess I should add that my roller is home made but it would be easy for me to weld on the angle and add transport wheels.

 

[Semisane]

I use it as part of a no-till planting process - spray plot with glyphosate / broadcast seed and fertilizer into standing dead vegetation / mow to cover seed with thatch or to roll down standing vegetation to lay it over seed.

See the process here: http://deerhunterforum.com/index.php?threads/my-no-till-experience.282/

Thanks.

Are you happy with the placement of your crimper bars? Any thought to placing the angle iron with the 90 as the high point? Or using something like rebar?

 

[Semisane]

I'm well satisfied with the set up Matt, though I suspect placing the angle with the 90 at the high point would work just as well. I never even thought about using rebar. I see no reason that wouldn't work also.

Fill it with concrete. I did it with mine and would make it heavier if I could.

 

[Semisane]

No thanks. At it's present weight of 200 lbs. it's quite enough for my Honda Rancher.

I guess your right. Rancher a good machine but a little light for the heavy stuff. It looked like a Foreman at first glance.

Have a question from the very front end of your project.

Seems like would be some danger in cutting a sealed oxygen tank (similar to a propane tank).

If so, how did you deal with that?

Thanks!

That's pretty simple. Unscrew the valve on top ,purge with water.Same with propane tanks.

 

[Semisane]

Yep.
