I found a picture of a homemade weightbox-hitch-subsoiler on here a while ago it was yellow and had adjustable teeth on it. I have the picture but it is strictly a left view and I was wondering if there are other views of this implement? Also are there any other homemade pics of subsoilers in anybodys picture archives? I did a search this morning but "subsoiler" did not return anything Thanks in advance for anyones input, Colin

Colin, I think that is Kent's tractor and the weight box/ripper is a Johnny Products addition.

That is a combination weight box & scarifier. It is called a Johnny box and is on on Kent's Big Ten tractor. It is a prototype made by John Scheele the owner of Johnny products and maker of Johnny bucket.

i was interested in this box too. I was not able to locate it on the jbjr site. Are they still making them????

These were prototypes. I think John Scheele only made a couple of them...

Not the same but I made a unit to mount on my brinly adaptor out of old drag parts. Using square tube and 6 tines and clamps from a section of horse drawn drag I made a very handy field cultivator. After testing I had to roll the tines up since they cut way to deep 10+ inches and I couldn't pull it. I have it set now to work about 5 to 6" and its great. It would very easy make a good subsoiler with maybe 2 tines. I can't ever seem to make a picture post or I would. Great little rig easy to build and all scrap parts. JW

Thanks very much for the link to the rest of the pictures. I wanted to fab up something similiar, out of respect for John Scheele I will not copy it exactly. The design certainly solves the 3 things that I would like to have at the back of my 64' landlord. Sincerely, Colin
