    How do you space your rows?

    Mt new garden space is 60' wide with 175' rows. My tractor tires are 4' from centers. I always make my middles 1 tire width ( I know they are wider than the tires, just couldn't think of a better way to put it) but I've read on here a few places that some of you do 2 tire widths. What are your...

    Market farming without 3 pt hitch tiller

    Hey guys. It's been a looooong time. I've decided to start market farming (since my wife retired and won't leave) and I don't have a pto tiller.

    Beekeeping

    I just got my first hive and built it today. I should be able to pick up my bees soon. Are there any beekeepers here? I posted a pretty detailed blog about today at Minooki Living - Minooki Living . If you have any experience with beekeeping please let me know if I messed up somewhere.

    My PTO shaft stopped an inch short

    Is it too short or could it be jammed. I'm hooking up a landpride brushmower to a MF 1533 using Pat's Easy Change. The PEC adds about 2 inches length to the lower hitch arms. I've read here about PTO extenders but the people at TSC have never heard of 'em. I love the easy change system so I'm...

    using turning plow in 2 directions

    I just read about using a turning plow starting in the middle of the plot, then going back and forth working your way to the outside. I always thought you had to go in one direction only but I guess for a large plot this makes sense. What do y'all think? It just never occured to me to do it...

    Not disappointed with plow and disc

    :thumbsup: I've been getting the gardens ready for spring planting for the first time with my MF 1533. Last year I used the turning plow for a small garden then had a friend with a tiller come in and smooth it. I don't have a tiller and tought I was going to have to buy one since I am...

    Info on timing of doing different plowing in garden

    Hey guys, I just wanted some input and opinions regarding using different plows while gardening. I have a MF 1533 tractor, turning plow, disc, chisel plow, subsoiler... I think that's it. I'm bad about buying gadgets. AND I don't even have a tiller...yet. I've had this equipment for about 6...
