Yep I still have a few sets! Let me know how many you want at $5 each, $38 for a set of 10 for the 26" revitalizer or $50 for a set of 14 blades for the 38" revitalizer plus $5.80 shipping.

Maybe I should start a new thread as I 80% sure I'll build a revilitizer. Funds and time may be an issue??? I'm looking for a little more info on the Revitalizer.

From you guys that have used a Revitalizer, what would be a wish list of changes and "improvements" to make a better unit. Things like a faster or slower speed on the tines, wider working width, closer/wider tine spacing ETC.

How deep can the Revitalizer be run? I know the owners manual talks about 1/2 inch. How is the tine life? Would hard surfacing the cutting edge be worth the effort.

Thanks!!

I have had my for 10 or 12 years. I got three sets of tine or blades. Never had to change a set and I use it every spring and fall. They last a long time.

The speed that they designed it at isn`t an issue either or at least I haven`t had a issue with the speed.

I use mine mostly for over seeding. It works great for that. When I need to change the bearings. I may move the tine spacing to 2 inches.

They would be easy to make but if you can find one in the $300 range you would be money ahead.

The spacers between tines are 2 3/4".The tines are about 1/8"So centerline to centerline distance is 2 7/8".

Kenh,

Someone posted a clean looking full frame revitalizer in the classified attachments section for $399. I'd seriously consider it myself, but the shipping would cost fortune.

Seriously considering a mod to replace tiller tines with revitalizer like custom blades.

Charles

When I bought my revitalizer from Josh it was $150 to ship it on a pallet from MI to CT.

The process was about as easy as could be and I would definitely use them again.

What is the shaft size for the tines. I'm guessing it's 1 inch across the flats???Thanks!
