Rube Goldberg is alive and well

(For those youngsters who don't know who Rube is https://www.google.com/search?q=rub...kYXbAhXk7YMKHUMVA4EQ_AUICygC&biw=1600&bih=796 )

I thought there was a few ingenious ideas here, in particlular since I lose a lot of pin clips.

What creations have you made? My weed wiper and stone boat.

Cut down a 10 foot wide lime spreader to go down some narrow trails.

The lime spreader is pretty cool.

Does the weed wiper work well? I may make something similar. What do you use for the "wiper" part? T shirts or rope or something?
does the weed killer drip any?

Thanks! It was my Grandfathers, which he bought in 1956. You can tell he took care of it!

The weed wiper is not perfect, but it has lots of benefits if you have, like in my case, grass, cereal grains and broad leaf weeds, that are taller than the clover that I am trying to set free. I just set the wiper so that it skims over top of my clover.

I use a 50/50 mix of glyphostate and water. For it to be effective, you need to go slow, around 5 mph. The real benefit to me was that I used 2 gallons of mix, to wipe 12 acres of plots and had some left over. I didn't have to haul water, which is a big time saver, since my plots are scattered all around and I could do it all myself.

April 21st was when I did the wiping and 2 weeks later, you can see the grass dying. As of right now, I won't be doing anything more to the plots, but letting the clover grow, feeding the deer (& turkeys) and letting the does drop fawns. I don't mow.

Does it drip? Yes, a little. I add the mix and don't start wiping till I see it start to drip. Once I am covering the plot, it doesn't drip till I am done with the plot. Then I move on.

Canuck...Here's a FEL modification that makes moving equipment a breeze. Buddy on another forum posted these pics of his modification to easily move around implements, trailers and such.

Oh, now that is pretty slick, right there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor man's smoker

There's a few interesting "adaptations" in here!
