What this clamp actually does
A disc hiller needs two things to work: a solid mount to the tool bar, and a way to hold its round
shank at a set depth and angle. This clamp is both. The U-bolt wraps the 2″ × 2″
square bar, the plate pulls up behind it, and the socket takes a 1-1/4″ round shank.
Why the clamp beats a welded mount
A welded bracket is fixed the day you build it. This one slides anywhere along the bar, so changing
row spacing is two nuts, not a trip to the shop.
Will it fit your bar?
Measure the bar and the shank before ordering. Both numbers matter — this clamp is sized for one
combination.

Note |
Fits |
| 2" x 2" square tool bar | This is what the U-bolt is sized for | ✓ |
| 1-1/4" (1.25") round shank | Socket bore is 1.3", takes a 1.25" shank | ✓ |
| 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" square bar | U-bolt is 2.9" across, will not reach around | ✗ |
| 1-1/2" round shank | Socket is too small | ✗ |
| Round tool bar (pipe) | Built for square bar only | ✗ |
| 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" square bar | Will not clamp down evenly | ✗ |
Measure both, not just one
People usually check the bar and forget the shank. A 2″ bar with a 1-1/2″ shank will not
work — the socket is 1.3″ inside. If your shank is 1-1/2″ or larger, this is the wrong
clamp.
What you are getting
Built for a tool that lives in the dirt.
1Clamps anywhere on the bar, no drilling The U-bolt wraps the 2" x 2" tool bar and the plate pulls up behind it. Two nuts and it is locked. Loosen them again and the whole clamp slides to a new spacing — which is how you change row width without buying a second tool bar. |
2Holds a 1-1/4" shank at the depth you set The socket bore is 1.3", so a 1.25" round shank drops straight in. The bolts lock it where you put it, so the disc hiller stays at the angle and depth you set instead of creeping as you work. |
3Stainless U-bolts and nyloc nuts The hardware is stainless and the nuts are nylon-insert lock nuts. That matters on a tool that spends its life in wet soil — plain nuts seize solid after a season and you end up cutting them off. |
4Two clamps, so you can set up a full row A 2-pack covers both sides of a bed, or one clamp plus a spare. If you run a multi-row cultivator, buy two packs rather than hunting for a single later. |
5Not just disc hillers Anything with a 1-1/4" round shank mounts in the same socket: cultivator sweeps, furrowers, ridgers, bed shapers. One clamp, several implements. |

A note on setting it up
Set the shank depth and angle first, tighten the socket bolts, then tighten the U-bolt last. Doing it
the other way round lets the clamp shift as you load the shank. Check the U-bolt nuts after the first
pass through the field — new clamps settle into the bar.
