excellent video. For yrs people have laughed at the users of the walking tractors, referring to them as toys, and missing the science behind keeping the weeds out of the crop. Only a small handful of working operators, have kept the history alive, and are finally seeing it advance again, after nearly dying off post war. The way forwards to easy chemical free produce is only limited by your imagination.

Thank you Jeff for being one of those that have kept the history alive!

Would like to follow thse folks more in their market gardening. Do they have a you tube channel of their own or website? My question about these units, seems like everyone operating one, walks at a high speed. Not something this 82 year old wants to do, must they be operated going that kind of speed?

They have an awesome operation for sure! I do not believe they have a YT channel however they do post videos on their Instagram and Facebook: facebook.com/LaughingCrowOrganics Website: www.laughingcroworganics.com/ Instagram: instagram.com/laughingcroworganics/ Great question on the speed. Speed can sometimes help to actually improve the tool tracking and the action of the tool but it is not necessary. Most of the operators you are seeing are experienced and knocking out a lot of acreage so they want the speed. Most of the two-wheel cultivation tractors are geared a bit higher so they'll typically be a bit faster in general. Two options for slowing them down is throttling back and/or changing the pulley size of the engine (an option we have if you ask us). Depending on the size of your operation and need, the E-Ox we offer may make more sense as it can operate much slower and would be much easier on your body.

Tilmor, As a small scale farmer with 1 acre, will the E-Ox be able to do the necessary cultivation ?

Do you have 1 acre under production/cultivation? What type of row spacing are you planted on? It probably comes down to expectation and current mechanization. If you are currently doing it with something like a manual wheel hoe, you will find a huge improvement with the E-Ox if it fits your spacing. Typically we'd say the Power Ox makes more sense if you have a full acre under production, but again, it varies depending on what you are coming from. We do have a customer doing an acre with the e-ox and they are very happy. I would definitely suggest calling in and having a conversation with someone in sales. We are happy to see whether something we have may or may not fit your needs and help direct you either way.
I walked behind a David Bradly. For years. It was a man killer. Now my back and hips are in pain. A rider gives you a break and rest. You will not be young for ever.

These are half weight and size of a David Bradley. I've had hundreds of walk behinds and the DB is one on the list that's not easy to manage
