The new to me - not new cultivator
Tuesday, February 24, 2009 at 6:36AM When you are browsing craigslist - you never know what you might find...In this case - it was a brand new row cultivator for about 50% off of the going price at Tractor Supply. And seeing as having a variety of ways to cultivate is a good thing - well - Saturday morning Kelli and I took a little ride and picked this fellow up.
Although my tractor doesn't provide enough ground clearance to use this truly for row cultivation once plants start growing - I can move the location of the tines on it so it will at least work for the straight row paths - making for a LOT less hoe work. I'm also interested to see how it works in general... the disk setup I have works well - but again - since my little tractor seems to have shorter lift arms (and hence they stay higher off the ground) the disk has demonstrated some issues of riding a little to shallow. This C-tine cultivator might just be the ticket until someday when a bigger tractor come home to live here at the farm.
