Low Cost 3 pt. Compost Turner

Sonoma grape farmer Paul Bernier builds a custom compost turner using a tractor and found auto parts. His innovative compost turner is a cost-effective way of turning his grape compost or "pomace," which helps cultivate healthy wine grapes.

You're too humble, Julio. I saw that you were driving a Lamborghini. I might just like a ride in your rig.

This is a very nice home build and re-purposing of materials.

Thank you for sharing this. I think you should give yourself a lot more praise!

6:01 "Any one with high school shop skills"... you just ruled out 95% of US public schooled kids. The other 5% learned from OJT, family, friends or on their own. Loss of shop classes in the US started in the early 1980s when "going to college" became almost mandatory, was heavily pushed by supposed guidance counselors and many, many local schools sold off their shop equipment for cheap based upon egalitarian dreams. Thank you for the video. God Bless.

My idea is a conveyor belt like one from a potato picker, and have it go 8 feet high. You need taller piles.

Why not make your spiral tines spiral in the opposite direction to meet in the middle? That way it will turn it and build everything up into a mounding row? Like /////\\\\\\

No, I welded the spider gears to their carrier so there was no differential action, just a right angle drive.

[@andyjones6361]

Awesome

[@paulnicholson8524]

I wish I had one.

[@billwightman8856]

Paul I bought a farm and the previous owner left quite a bit of soil with hydrocarbons (oil slop) I think by turning the soil and adding bugs we can remediate the site. Would like to build a unit similar to yours. Can I get drawings or more detailed info. Thanx Bill

[@christiang914]

awesome

[@daveborden186]

Great tool - thanks for sharing this with us. It appears that you have a creeper gear on that tractor. Do you think creeper is required? I will be using a heavy 83 HP tractor (2wd)

[@GoldenTubeBD]

How much price it is???

[@cat85E]

can i ask what ratio diff you used

[@federicoalinovi396]

I say you did a great job. Would try it myself. I've got an old Dana bridge rotting away behind the stable. Did you have to lock the second halfshaft welding the hub to the frame ?

[@javiermaillet]

well the guy can say he has a lamborghini.

[@valentinejules8672]

I love you Ashley Vega their love you

Dust from industrial compost can kill. Do not breath in the dust. Immune compromised people should never go near it. Always water when turning.
