Absolutely genious idea, I can see using this in my potato/carrot/onion patch in spring before hilling up the rows and planting as well, to get the early weeds without using chemicals! Best of wishes from Norway, I will be making one of these come April!
Very good idea. I've always hated spraying the gravel driveway, but keeping it free of weeds is a full-time job. This'll be one more thing to add to my to-do list!
OMG, I've been toying with the idea of building something along these lines - either as an attachment to my box blade or buying a 2000 dollar land plane - same idea - a sharp blade fairly horizontal that cuts the roots - we have really bad weeds here in AZ. This design is genius, way simpler/better than what I was thinking. Wanna sell it? 😁j/k. I'm definitely stealing the design!
Brilliant! Box blade= too much, land scape rake= too much pulling sand. This is just right. A Hula Hoe for a three point hitch. Better run for a Patent!
Will this cut a path through the grass or does it kind of float on top. I use a boxblade but the tall grass gets stuck on the rippers. I want to be able to cut the roots on grass and then rake it to the side.
What is that device you have sitting in your quick hitch that has the clamps that holds the square tube? or is that also something you made as well? I am looking for something just like this. I want to go through a field and use it like a hoe and just slice off the weeds just under the surface. Using a tiller is too aggressive. Thinking maybe a harrow might work, but this blade option just seems to my beginner form of thinking to be the better answer.
It's called an a-frame. Very easily made if you do any welding. Most old farms have them lying around. I just bought another one at auction. Sometimes, the tool bar will come with it. It's just a square shaft or tubing. They aren't used much anymore. It's a really great tool.
One pass gets em all, great job and thank you!
Saves so much time! Couldn't do without it now.

Hello from Nebraska! We love our international viewers. We hope you stick around.
Excellent idea. You could do that every other week, just keeping the soil loose and there goes the weeds.
Thats the master plan. Like every two weeks. Cuts a nice clean edge too!

I use it often.
Your driveway looks great!
Thanks OBL! Im sure going to enjoy not having to weed spray!
And just like that no more weeds or potholes. Great idea. Way better than boxblade
Yup, the box blade would drag the weeds around and make a mess. Love this thing so far.
Nice. Sort of like a single-blade land plane, but really shines as a cutter. Nifty tool.
Thank you! Im loving it.
Have you ever tried this on grass? Seems like it would work for removing the sod to reuse later if you are prepping an area.
It would work in moist sod.
@markellyfarm A sod cutter that gives you 3 or 4 feet wide sections is pretty epic.
@JoshBeards it would make 3 two foot strips.
@markellyfarm I wasn't sure the spacing but yeah they twice the size of a rented sod cutter.
First pass done! Wooooo!💥💥
Lol, thanks for watching!

Steal away! Works perfectly. I just have to drag the driveway when im done. Only because of my OCD though! Lol
Time to apply for a Provisional Patent before "Country Line" or one of the other cheap implement makers copies it!!!
They can have it. Im not gonna build them. We use it a lot and love it!

You can have the patent. Im good. Lol

If you angle it right, it goes through like a sod cutter. I do it when the weeds aren't very thick. They just dry up.
Hi would that attachment work for sod removal?
I don't know why it wouldn't.
I have a seashell driveway
Weeds just ruin the look . I’ve tried organic herbicides and hand pulled but the weeds come back
They can be really stubborn for sure. Sea shell sounds really cool. Maybe try a propane weed torch?
Awesome. Do you sell these?
I don't, sorry. Just build stuff to use around our place.
@@markellyfarm you should patent this and sell it. It looks like a great tool
Im too old for all that. Lol but it really works great.
How can we get one?
I dont know any dealer who makes one yet. Maybe share the video with your local welding shop?

No, no, no. You were supposed to spend $1800 on a box blade.
I bought mine when they were $800. Lol
You need to patent and manufacture those. Id buy one thats genius.
That sounds like work! Lol im retired. Feel free to run with it. I love it and use it about once per month.
