I have not noticed it being any different than the OEM Starlink cable. No loss of speed. Speed tests were the same. Cat6 cable can handle speeds up to 10Gbps - that is way over what you’ll ever see through the Starlink system.

I also germinate most everything. I either start them in trays or direct seed in the garden. I start my tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. I will usually germinate my own broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and lettuce. Everything else I direct seed including squash, okra, beans, peas, radish, zucchini, cucumbers, melons, etc.

From someone who did 2 different gardens with a 7 HP Troy-Built, you are not utilizing the machine to its best. I tilled my garden back and forth completely, then cross-tilled completely, then laid out my rows and used the hiller-furrower, which you have, to make raised beds so they were twice as wide as the regular beds. When making my raised beds, I would walk beside the machine to keep from walking on the freshly tilled seed bed. I would cover my beds and walks between them with about 4 or 5 layers of old newspapers and straw for mulch, which would be tilled in at the end of the season. I used the companion planting method for my plants and kept my chart for the garden from year to year to keep rotating the plants. Mulching with newspapers and straw and cut grass really helps besides not compacting the soil by walking on it. The T-handle on the top of the transmission holds the handles in place and only should be hand-tight so the handles may easily be moved to the side by turning the T-handle. You said you have the time disengage for travel, fortunate you; that came out the year after we bought our machine.

@arrowjmfarms 9 күн бұрын
I do have the furrow plow and wing set I used to use to hill potatoes. I don’t use them much anymore. Sometimes I do walk to the side, I have a new video where I did it that way. It just depends on what I’m doing. Mine doesn’t have the T handle but I could fab something up. I mostly use the tiller to prep the overall garden but I use drip and a wheel hoe to do most of the light cultivation.

So, you can waste water by not mulching because you have drip irrigation? Poor presentation on a few things said.
@arrowjmfarms
@arrowjmfarms 18 күн бұрын
No water wasted here. I put water at the roots where it’s needed and immediately available to the plant. There’s literally no water on the surface to evaporate. What I was getting at is that drip irrigation really shines during the summer heat. And I’m not mulching for moisture retention reasons. Sorry for the confusion.

Dirt is still going to splash up on the plants from your walkways being so close. The action of rain falling on open soil destroys any soil structure also, so that bare soil on your walkways will erode and easily splash around due to no structure holding it together or mulch covering it. That straw will break down or blow away in a few months so you might wanna get more. I get dirt splashing up on my white plastic furniture every time it rains and its from several feet away. Wood chips on the paths would be your best bet but If you dont have a good source... its too expensive for me to bother with here where I live.

It might if we get a real heavy rain - I’ll find out this weekend lol. We’ve had a few mild storms and it has worked so far. If it lasts a few months I’ll be good with that. I’ll probably prune the lower stems. Yea there’s not really a good source of wood chips here except for maybe pine. Pine bark or hardwood would be my choice. I’ve been wanting to try the heavy duty landscape fabric and just burn holes for the plants to go in.

It works it just depends on the variety. We have Bermuda and Bahia in my area and those two spread pretty rapidly, especially Bermuda since it will propagate from just the stems. If you can get just leaf material in your clippings then it will work great. No seed heads, otherwise you’re just adding undesirable seed to your garden.

My grandfather's 1978 Troy Bilt Horse Roto-Tiller just went to my cousin a couple weeks ago. Still has the original Tecumseh HH-60 engine on it. Just needs new tines and a new belt. I haven't used it for years, but it didn't have fuel left in it at all, after sitting since 2017 I put some gas in it in hopes it would run, at least good enough to load it on the trailer to go to my cousin's....throttle at about 1/2 way, full choke, 3 pulls on the starter rope and it fired up....I have a roto-tiller for my tractor now, if I ever have a garden and my cousin has another Troy Bilt Roto-Tiller he's gonna take the 2 and use parts from both to make 1 good one I guess...which means they'll both sit for 20+ years and never be touched again LOL. I'd love to get my hands on a Troy Bilt PTO Horse model and the attachments they had for them.

Hey Beau, salutations from NC, the Horse tiller has a feature that you can literally move the handle to the side and it helps you avoid walking in the seed bed. you can move it left and right, if you keep it to one side it would mean that you would have to walk around the seed bed to start a new row to avoid walking in the seed bed, so when you finish one row, you flip the handle to the opposite side, it keeps you from walking in the seed bed. Also they made so many models of these guys, mine is 4 speed with reverse, if yours is a four speed, it will have an extra pully, so if you place it in neutral and move the belt, it helps in a large garden. The thing I wish mine had, was the disconnect for the tiller drum, but it does have the original cast iron Kohler 7 hp motor, and was given to me free. Necromancing BlueMule

Yea I usually just stand to the side of if I don’t want footprints. But I’d have to loosen and tighten the bolt every time I wanted to rotate the handles.

@arrowjmfarms
@arrowjmfarms Ай бұрын
Especially on larger diameter trees I tend to start 2 to 3 feet off the ground, mostly for extra leverage to rock the tree back and and forth if needed in order to break roots and loosen the dirt a bit. Smaller trees tend snap off easily if too much pressure is placed on the jaws of the puller, but giving yourself some room to try again is certainly a good idea.

No sir, no issue like that all. It has been working great. Just a thought, it could also be a low oil level switch if it is equipped with one. It might just need a bit more oil to keep the switch satisfied. But yeah, the carb could be the culprit also. That is a strange one though.

These work AWESOME! It's something you get used to as you use it, whether you can see well or not. That includes the sound of your hydraulics helping signal how tight you're squeezing (it matters on smaller stuff because it can pinch right through). Also, you learn if it needs a nudge in multiple directions and if you need to grab higher or lower or if you nose down or nose up a little. I think no compact or small utility tractor has enough lift or weight to push these beyond it's limits. Large skid steers would get the most use out of them. Did I say AWESOME!?
