The Furrow Hoe

I had saved the furrow attachment from an old Troybilt tiller I once had, figuring that one day it might be of use. About five years ago I got the idea that if it were welded to a handle it might be a great tool for opening up potato furrows or whatever. So a friend did that for me, welding it on to a piece of pipe and adding a nut and bolt so that I could change the angle of the head. It doesn't get used much but is handy when needed. It was just used to open deep furrows for planting leeks.

Nope, just a junk collector. :lol: Actually, if it has a possible practical use I don't consider it junk. Lots of folks have a "boneyard" or "possibles pile". There's an old frosted glass sliding door from a shower down in the back being saved for maybe using as the top of a cold frame... "some day". Lord only knows how it's survived this long without some limb falling and busting it up.

You can't argue with a closed mind.
