Question for Agstar and Chuck only?

[Spyguy]

Just like I figured. Crickets. Very common these days. The ones that know the least talk the most.

Sorry for breaking your rule, but I also want to ask, with what, or how do you hold the head of the cultivator bolt? Experience speaks volumes on this question....
edit: Volumes of blood that is if you do it wrong. Referring specifically to used of course.

Sometimes you can pry the shovel away from the shank to keep the head tight if not worn to bad.

Well I don’t know I tried putting the shovel
On but which way do you put the handle? It gets
In the way either way up or down I try?
And there are no holes for bolts but maybe
I had the wrong brand it had Spade written
on the back.

No wonder the collective members of Agriville don't seem to follow a few simple rules.
In this thread there are now 13 posters ( including myself) who couldn't obey the one simple rule in the original post, 11 who posted anyways even though our identities aren't chuck or agstar, and the two who were requested to post, did not.

Does anyone really think that we can be herded into posting in the appropriate forums with on topic threads, and not feed the trolls as we keep saying we should do?

I'm going to ruin the game and reveal the answer.








































The answer is,





























you don't change the cultivator shovels, because,
























Climate Change of course. New shovels will allow you to go and burn more evil diesel fuel, emitting life giving CO2, and it will release more precious carbon from the soil. Not to mention that the land you were going to cultivate belongs to the first nations, so you have no right to cultivate it, and this entire conversation is very sexist and not inclusive. Only discussing bolts and nuts, stereotypical male and female, there are countless other potential orientations that need be included. And unless your cordless impact is plugged into the current bush, you are destroying the environment from all the coal generation that charged your lithium battery( note that this doesn't apply to electric cars, they only get charged from green sources)
And do you know how much coking coal is consumed in creating the iron in the shovels, bolts and nuts?

The correct answer is a left handed metric crescent wrench. And if that fails ( and it will, and it will hurt a lot of knuckles), then resort to Victor, which will also hurt, especially when the sparks get inside your ear or pant leg and you stand up really fast and hit your head on multiple sharp projections.

They should have continued to make the dog legged MF128 cultivator. 54 degree shank with lots of shank below the bottom bolt. You never had trouble changing sweeps and you could reuse the top and bottom bolt until the face of the bolt wore out.

The answer always was: Never argue with idiots...


they will drag you down to their level and BEAT YOU WITH THEIR EXPERIENCE.
Correct answer was given to the question.

What happened to the rule don't feed the alleged trolls? You gotta have a little more discipline there A5 and others.

So you guys have this much time to waste during the harvest day?

Harvest is in full swing on our farm. And there is a big wide spread wet spell coming. You better get it in the bin, whether its 5 bushels per acre or 50.

Don't say whoa in a mud hole? To quote Grant Divine. Giver snooze bruce!

There is plenty of time to discuss the future of farming and climate change during the months of good sledding. You gotta like threshing wheat in a very dry heat wave though. We wont need aeration fans running much except to cool the grain. All those grain dryers won't be needed as much this year. You can't beat mother nature when it comes to efficiently drying grain.

Be safe!

To paraphrase...you don't know the answer.

On a half inch plow bolt a 3/4 inch nut is standard. Or you can switch to speed locks and use your hammer and a Bourgault removal tool if you still change a lot of shovels.

And if your self locking well worn plow bolt turns in the shovel don't use your finger to hold it like A5! Get your battery powered side grinder and cut the GD thing off.
