Improvements in Horse Hoes, Grubbers, or Cultivators.
I, THOMAS HUNTER, of Maybole, in the County of Ayr, Agricultural Implement
Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to horse hoes, grubbers or cultivators and it consists in
forming the sides of the triangular framing to which the hoes or other tools are
attached of angle iron or steel bars and securing said tools to either the horizontal
or vertical sides of the angle bars by bolts a number of bolt holes being formed in
the tool shanks or in the bars or in both to provide for adjustment of the hoes or
tools to suit the work to be done.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 is an elevation and Figure 2 a plan shewing a horse hoe or scarifier con-
structed in accordance with
my invention.
The sides of the triangular framing are composed of angle iron or steel bars A A
the lower side or flange of which is horizontal the vertical flange being turned
upwards so that the hoes, tines or other cultivating tools B B' may be attached by
bolts as shewn either to the underside of the horizontal bottom flange or to the
vertical side of the upper flange. By forming suitable bolt holes in the horizontal
and vertical flanges of the bars A. A as indicated, tines such as B₁ adapted for
attachment to the vertical flanges may be fitted to replace the scarifiers or like
tools B adapted for attachment to the horizontal flanges and the cultivator is thus
rendered convertible from a scarifier or turnip drill hoc into a multiple-tined grubber
or vice versa.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A horse hoe, grubber or cultivator constructed substantially as hereinbefore
described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
2. A horse hoe, grubber or cultivator having a triangular frame constructed

page_text: as described of angle iron or steel bars and having interchangeable hoes: or tines
adjustably bolted thereto substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
