I'm a market gardener and am looking into using a 2-wheel tractor (probably a BCS or Grillo) to establish a raised bed system. I haven't purchased any equipment yet except for an ancient Simplicity which won't do what I'd like.
What I'm thinking is to use a rotary plow to produce the raised beds (probably 30" wide) and then use axle extensions to straddle the bed with a tiller to do secondary tillage and produce a nice seedbed.
Has anyone done anything similar? Care to share your experience so I don't have to reinvent the wheel? Or can anyone think of reasons why this wouldn't work?
Thanks!
