This is the start of garden creeper #3 and I think I have enough parts to move forward with the construction process!
Garden Creeper Track

This is part of the track design I am going with.--it's just sitting on blocks for these pics and to get a visual idea of how to do the under frame to mount the tracks on! thanks; sonny

Re: garden creeper
When I saw the subject line I thought you were talking about me. A couple years ago we had a windstorm blow many of our tomato cages over forming tunnels where they fell against each other, and I ended up crawling through some of them to pick the tomatoes.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Re: garden creeper
I now have the grousers all done and welded to the chain.---the next step is to make the undercarriage frame to mount the sprockets and bearings to---still thinking of a good light design that will be strong but light.
I think I have a few more pix. of the track after welding.---I also cut a bevel on each grouser and drilled a 3/4" hole in the center to allow dirt to pass thru and not pack up inside the chain and break it. thanks; sonny

Re: garden creeper
In my opinion the "light" horse is already out of the barn on this one . I am interested in seeing how this turns out. You haven't mentioned what type of propulsion this is going to have, pedal like your earlier one, an engine of some sort, or???????SONNY wrote:---still thinking of a good light design that will be strong but light...................

Re: garden creeper
OK!!! I am planning on going with a hydraulic motor on each track and separate control valves to steer as well as vary the speed and direction of travel !---I will have to test the motors to see what size drive sprockets to use, then after its all mounted,--I will install a hydraulic pump and res.driven by an 8 or 10 hp B & S engine .--I don't have a blueprint or anything to go by, so the whole project is in my head and build/test/change as I go!!! Makes it hard to do some of the math on drive/driven ratios so that requires me to just guess/make/test and if that part is ok, then move to the next part!
Would be nice to have had actual plans to work from, but I don't have that option on this machine! LOL!!! thanks; sonny
Cant wait for good weather,--- BUT cant work out side in this cold and high winds that we get here during the winter!--summer winds are at least warm! LOL!!
