How to make a miracle shovel (Ripper)

There is a lot of work in the garden and in the garden, but the most exhausting - the Earth's Pumping, its cultivation and the removal of weeds. Speak begin to the alert, small areas, since the load is too big. Some times to reduce the complexity and at the same time accelerate the process of at least twice the miracle of the shovel. It is relatively inexpensive and simple tool really works, and even on complex soils.

What is different and what can

To be accurate, then this is not a shovel, but the ripper, since it does not just dig up, but also breaks the whisk. The miracle of the shovel consists of two (sometimes one) slats with pins moving connected. In some models, the rear stop is also present - for easier digging of dense heavy earth. So in reality, it looks more like double forks (see the photo below).

Miracle shovel and its composite parts

It is clear from the drawing that this tool does not have a shovel as such, but there are no differences from the classic bayonet shovel. She also has a handle much higher - she must get to your shoulder. It is still convenient if there is transverse crossbar on its top - you can act with two hands.

The miracle of the shovel performs three operations at once:

loose soil;
breaks a whisk;
"Highlights" the roots of weeds, without breaking and not cutting them (in any case, much less damaging them);
Easy digging roots - you can dig carrots, potatoes, etc.

But its main advantage - it greatly facilitates the ground of the Earth, and the main load is not on the back, as using a conventional bayonet shovel, and to the legs (to drive workers in the ground) and on the hands (turning the forks from the ground). The spin during work is in a vertical position and is almost not loaded.

Another option wonderful shovels

The only minus of this tool is the weight. It is really much more than the bayonet. But super shovel is rearranged, it is not necessary to raise it. Rather, it is only raised several times: when they are installed on the ground at the beginning of the row. Then, pulling the handle, it is just a little tighten.

There is another very attractive moment in the use of miracle shovels - a vegetable garden is digging at least twice as fast. This happens due to the wider working part - up to 50-60 cm. Subject to the small physical activity, it is very good.

How to work

Although not particularly difficult is the design, but working with it has its own characteristics. First, it is necessary to start from the far edge of the garden, moving then back, gradually dragging back forks. Well, the general procedure of action is:

Having been following the cuttings, put a miracle to the shovel, get it on the front ripper.
Stick for a pitchfork in the ground. Wine them so that the rear emphasis touched the earth. If the land is heavy, dense, it may be necessary to need an additional effort - put on the foot on the front of the front forge.
Pull the cuttings "on yourself". At the same time, the movement will start moving up. Lifting them pass through the fault of the front stop, breaking the lumps.
Throw the device a little back, repeat all actions (stick, choose, pull the cuttings).

In fact, everything is very simple. It is worth trying a couple of times and then everything is repeated "on the machine".

Designs

In addition, the option is shown above (called "Tornado", "Excavor" or "PAHAR"), there are some more options for the designs of miracle shovels under different names.

Ripper soil without forward

This design also has workers and support forks, but does not have the front stop. Therefore, she is less cumbersome, slightly less weighs. But the front emphasis gives an increased stability when working. And the weight when dragging is not so important.

The handle is coming to the working cords, the rear focus is welded to the ridge of the second forks. Both of these designs are movably connected to each other (even door loops can be used).

On the photo one of the implementations that is made on the basis of a corner and a round tube. When working, the pins pins into the ground by pressing the crossbar, and not on the emphasis, as in most models.

Kopults

An option called "Spool" is essentially wide forks with an emphasis for easier turning and a high powerful handle.

Miracle Shovel "Spear"

Feature of this design in the stop and adjustable handle. It is fixed by two bolts, selected under the growth of a working person.

The focus is not stationary, but movable. It is fixed on the frame. When immersing the pins in the ground pressed the foot on it, then without removing the leg, turn the pumpets from the ground to the handle.

Speed in action

Physical exertion during operation is low, the work is moving quickly. But this miracle shovel will not go for hard and merciful soils: it does not work the soil. It is under his own weight in a pitchfork. But this is possible only on loose soils. On clay or black soil, it is better to have a second comb with pins.

Langkop

This design of wonder shovels is slightly different from the previous one. The stops in it are rounded, the handle is arcuate, but the basis of the structure is the same. Some drawback - there is no possibility to adjust the handle, and otherwise everything is also a movable emphasis and workers.

Two options called "Langokop". The simplest ripper for the garden, garden and summer cottages

It is better to say this variation or worse. It would be possible to estimate only comparing the operation of both copies in one site.

If you look at the following video, you will see that you can dig a similar wonder-shovel, not only loose soils, but also heavy. And the second, on which you can pay attention - after all, for such a soil it is better to have a second ridge of the pins, about which you can crush twisted kids.

What to do

Designs, as you have seen, are different, but the set of materials will be approximately the same. Their quantity is distinguished, and the cross section and characteristics remain unchanged.

You can use a round or profiled tube, metal rods or "parts" from

Materials for manufacture

Start mainly from the manufacture of a frame. It is more often made from the profiled pipe, the optimal cross section is 30 * 30 mm or so. It is important with the wall thickness - at least 3 mm. Some models used a corner. The shelf width is also about 30 mm, the thickness of the metal is at least 3 mm.

The handle can be made from the same profile tube, you can use round. The wall thickness is also important. In principle, making the retainer, you can use a wooden holder from the shovel. Some purchased models provide the installation of a wooden holder.

Rama from corner

The focus should be given to the material that is used for the teeth of workers. It should be a good structural steel. The forks are made of a rod at least 8 mm in diameter.

What makes their craftsmen do:

Cut from ordinary forks, welded on a miracle shovel.
Spring pendant springs.
Split the narrow strips of automotive springs.

If you manage to find a good bar - a round, square or hex - no matter whether you will be much easier. A good option, by the way, with a fork. But you need to take good, and this is not suiced. And yet: count the size of miracle shovels so that the workers have 8 pins. Then it will be necessary to buy two jokes of ordinary forks.

If the design was chosen with two pods - workers and persistent, it is possible to put a segment of a suitable long metal bar. Loads are not so high here, so the strength should be enough. The bar diameter is 10 mm, you can use the ribbed fittings, which is used during the reinforcement of the foundation.

Dimensions

Most firms that produce miracle shovels have a number of sizes of this product. People we have different ones and physical training. For men, you can make more massive models, and for women and the elderly - less and easier. On average, such:

The width of the working part is from 45 cm to 60 cm. It should not do anymore: it will be hard to dig and productivity will only decrease, and will not increase.
Length of pins workers forks 220-300 mm.
Distance between pins - 70-80 mm.
The length of the handle - in growth, more convenient if it ends in the shoulder area.

The dimensions of the miracle shovels can be selected "for yourself" - it is important to work it was convenient
