I've been using this between my rows

here's what my garden looked like before I took the disc to it here's after. The stalks were still kinda wet at the time so they didnt break up too well, but I will disc it again a day before planting to shred 'em

Here's what I did for weight, about 130-140lbs on there:dance1:

Finally got the disc!! And tryed it out a little this evening! So far I'm very happy with it, still gonna add some weight though. But I think it was well worth the money Quad doesn't even notice it back there :D

What does everyone use to work up there garden, and for between rows? I will use an atv disc to work it up the 1st time and to break up corn straw, then rototill to bury it and make it easier for planting. And a hoe for between rows. What do you use?

Here's my seeder that I built (partially anyway) Its only about 24" working width, so it won't cover a huge area fast. But I'm gonna use it and hope for the best!:cool2: Thanks for looking!

This year i want to plant sweet corn and popcorn in the same garden. Can I do this? I've read that if you don't plant them atleast 250' apart "cross-pollination" can be an issue. Is that something i should worry about? I'm not gonna keep my own seed. And my the corn seed i have is supposed to...

Heres some more questions i have, What do you recommend for row spacing of corn? Can you seed it close together? (Like through a seed drill, rather than a planter) Or why can't you seed it in narrow rows? Thanks in advance

I have an idea for a packer/cultipacker(not sure which it would be), so here it is. Take some small tires like these And put them on an axle, all side by side (maybe about 1/2" spacer between each?) and put a hitch on. (This probably isn't an original idea) The hitch would need a place to set...

I have this drop spreader, could I easily put some sort of shanks under it?

Does anyone know of a simple way to make a drill for behind an atv? I'm not looking to go out and buy one, because... Well, the price of them is rediculous... I was hoping there'd be a simple way of doing this. Got any ideas?

This just popped into my head, has anyone built a lil plow for behind your quad? Got pics? What could you use to mimick a plow bottom just smaller? So it'd pull easier, and not cut as deep Could you use spades or something like that? Or do they not dig in

I'm in an area where we don't get huge amounts of rain, and I don't need to use fert on what I'm gonna grow if i have it seeded one year, summerfallow the next, then seeded again... And so on. (I'm gonna run this like an "atv sized farm") on summerfallow (it'll have been worked with a disc, so...

I'm thinking of buying this disc, its 33" wide and the discs aren't at a very aggressive angle. Should I worry about killing my quad? (Burning off the belt, ENGINE OVERHEATING, etc) How heavy does this disc pull compared to a harrow? (How big of spike tooth harrow pulls about the same as the...

Here's my spreader. As you can see, it was a push spreader, but I made a hitch for it to pull behind my quad (its not pretty, but it works!!) it's only 2' wide so it won't do many acres fast, but I'll still use it Here is my harrow that I'll be using. It's about 5' wide and I pull it with a...

This may seem similar to the other threads i started but... Could you bury seed with a disc? Would you work at about the depth you want the seed placed?(little deeper maybe?):confused:

As far as atv discs go, do notched disks pulverize the soil more, or less than smooth disks? Which require more power to pull?

Somethin' like this

I have a hand sprayer and I want to know if I would be able to take the hand wand off and make a small boom for it (only about 4' wide) and use it behind a quad? (Mount it up on the back of the quad, or on a small trailer. If on a trailer i would put a long handle on it so i could still pump it...

What technique/order do you use when making a plot? Assuming its not rock hard dirt. Does disc, spread seed/fert, harrow,then pack sound right? (Cereal crops blended)

You may have seen my last thread about the disk from princess auto. What about THIS disk? Products > Sleeve Hitch Disc Cultivator Has anyone used one of these? They look kinda crappy to me, and I can't find anywhere in Canada where they sell them?!?!?! I'm probably just missing it though...

What are your opinions on the best way of seeding plots/small fields (1-2 acres) with an atv? I don't want to go buy real expensive equipment:2cents: I have spike harrows, diamond harrows, seed spreaders and I'm thinking of buying a disc. Would there be anything else i would need to grow a good...

Here's some popcorn i grew last year. That was my first time growing it, straight out of a bag that you would by at any grocery store, kind of an expirement. It got about 8' tall, I fed it to a few cows. I'm gonna grow some again for them

What do you think is best short season sweet corn? For the garden

I have some similar to this. Would they work good for seeding?

I want to build a harrow for behind my atv (kodiak 450). Would a harrow work for burying seed (I would be growing wheat), in other words, would it seed deep enough? How big of harrow would the quad pull RELATIVELY EASY ? Thanks for the input :)

I'm interested in those little 33" atv discs from princess auto. Has anyone used these? I've heard they're too light and need weight added, that's not a problem for me. How well do they kill weeds? Overall are they worth $400?
