Wanted 3pt tool bar

[Ryanuni]

Hi, I am looking for a 3pt mounted, folding, toolbar to make a Side dress rig out of. 12-14 ft minimum total length. Shanks and plumbing not really important Im mainly interested in the bar. Located in eastern Iowa but will travel a ways if the price is right.
Thanks,
Ryan

There should be an abundance of rear mount cultivators not too far from you and most of them are just sitting in the weeds.

Any 6 row cult frame would be 15 feet or more. If you don"t NEED folding, would be better to just use the straight bar. Simpler, stronger, and you"re free to mount what you need most anywhere. Many bars are 5x7- easy to work with.

Yeah well I also have the added problem of needing it to fold to get it DOT legal...

A torch, welder, and some heavy flat iron should solve that problem.

I bought an old NH3 rig with such a thing in mind. Was $60, no one else looked at the possibilities. Came with 2 hyd cylinders, it's an end transport. It does actually fold, probably longer than you need.

Going to be a little harder to find something so short that does fold, DOT doesn't mess with farm equipment so 6 row stuff is generally ridgid. Might need to find an 8 row type of bar and cut it down.

While there aren't a lot of farm auctions this year, you can find all the 6-8 row bars you want at them for under $200. Maybe $250 now with the price of scrap....
