I'd love to own a brand new BCS with necessary attachments, but that just isn't going to happen for a year or two, at least.
Every year my garden gets a little bit bigger. I had an 800 square foot garden this summer, and I think I'd like to double/triple its' size for next year. Up to this point I've done almost all of the work by hand; I know I can't keep up weeding a 2100 square foot garden with a hoe.
My father has a homemade tractor, a 2 bottom plow, and a disk harrow. I have a friend that has an old simplicity 2 wheeler that I might pick up (more about that later on). My dream is to have a cultivator, a wagon/wheelbarrow, and a seeder for the two wheeler. Any garden jobs that cannot be completed with these tools will be done by hand or with rental equip.
I have heard many good things about BCS tillers, and I know many people till between vegetable rows, but I am afraid of creating a hard bottom as a result of over tilling.
Do any of the two wheel tractor owners on TBN use a cultivator? Is the tractor heavy enough for a cultivator to work well?
I plan to buy used seeders and customize them to tow behind a two wheeler.
Thanks
