Loved the slo-mo underbody shot with accompanying guitar bend. LOL. Brings back memories. Cheers!

Might have to build my own. Cool video.

[@HomesteadEngineering]

That would make for a cool video. Send the link when done. Thanks!

[@ronalddean4834]

Just found your site it's very informative on gardening attachments and very useful. I'm jealous though where are your rocks haha. If I could grow potatoes like I grow rocks I would be rich. The ground here is terrible rocky. Take the rocks away and there's nothing but a hole. Thanks for the video it's great.

These are good cultivators.

[@TerraFirmaX]

the more I'm out there doing stuff by hand I'm thinking, WHY. I got a JD 3046r, so I've been trying to figure out what I need to save my bake and time. Thanks Dave

#Thankyousomuch for this video. I am new to farming, coming from #NYCliving to rural paradise and I am researching equipment needed for small farm. I am #excited #Postmore

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Bakka, you have made the right move!

[@donniebargo964]

Put you on some wider sweeps .you call them tipps get the ones shaped like arrow heads that are sharp all the way around and run it a little shallower and faster and it will smother out the weeds between the plants

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Sounds good. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

Great video, I need this attachment. I'll see if TS has a sale. Thanks for sharing

Thanks!

[@mrandrew625]

Do you think it would hold up to vines and roots?

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Yes, if your pulling it with a small tractor like mine. In other words, if you hit a large root, the tractor would just stop and spin the tires. If it were on a large tractor, you might break a tine. Thanks!

[@DeereX748]

Just bought that very cultivator to use with my JD 2520, looking forward to trying it out. I want to see if I can add hilling shovels on the crossbar in the rear, and maybe a furrowing shoe in the middle.

[@McScott76]

Can someone help me understand the benefits of a rototiller vs. this? I'm getting ready to buy a new Kubota BX2380 tractor and plan to use it to put in a garden (among other things). The land where the garden would go used to be part of a soy bean field but has since become overgrown with grass. I plan to brush cut it and then try to till/cultivate it for use as a garden. Could I get by with a cultivator like this, or do I need to shell out bigger bucks for a tiller?

[@HomesteadEngineering]

In my opinion, the cultivator is not meant to plow or till the soil. I would only use it in loose soil to control the weeds. You probably need at least a disk but the tiller would be ideal. When the weeds are high, I go over my garden with a brush hog, then disk then wait for that to decay a bit, then till it. Hope this helps.

[@McScott76]

@@HomesteadEngineering Thank you! That’s helpful. I’ve only used a small walk-behind roto-tiller before. So wasn’t sure which 3-pt implements I might need to garden on a larger scale.

[@HomesteadEngineering]

@@McScott76 I think you will like these three videos that show the process: 1. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmfOm6CsaqyEmtU 2. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKTQi2BteMSHis0 3. kzbin.info/www/bejne/roK6h3qOf5aZmsk

I was thinking you were going to get cultivator blight. Got kinda close in a few spots

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Hey Roy, Yes, too close in a few spots. I need to make some adjustments...

Does it have a snowblower attachment still snowing here today March 30, 2019

[@HomesteadEngineering]

I would love to have a snowblower but just can't get that one past the wife.

[@ClaytonHartin]

I would just drill holes that fit your style of adjustment.

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Good idea. I would need to weld a brace next to the new hole for support like they have on each existing hole now.

[@gmcnelly2468]

Be easy with this cultivator, it is extremely underbraced. Ask me how I know.

[@HomesteadEngineering]

G, I use mine in my Florida sandy loam with no problems but tell us what happened.

[@gmcnelly2468]

@@HomesteadEngineering The back cross bar spans a long area and the mid span link to the tractor top link will both bend if used in heavy soil. I would recommend bracing even in light soil. Really a poor/cheap design from experience.
