Has anyone rigged a walk behind front tine tiller to the front of a small garden tractor. I want to keep my planted rows under 28 inches and I am having trouble finding a mower with less than a 30" wheel base.wide foot print. I have a large garden and I am at the point that I can't cultivate the weeds by using my one of several walk behinds. I tried to hook up a skulley behind a Husky rear tiner with a 7 HP engine but I think it did some damage to the tranny. I was thinking either hooking up the rear of a bicycle and pedal assist the pulling of the front tines or getting the rear of a small moped to do the heavy work. All my small garden tractors have a 36" wheel base. Did anyone ever manufacture a 3 wheel lawnmower where the drive unit utilized a single rear wheel?
Next question: I usually get seed potatoes that are about the size of ping pong balls, but this year I could only find them the size of big potatoes. I realize that you can cut them into pieces as long as each has an "eye". Some where back I was told you had to treat the cut surface with ?roteene or some other fungicidal? Any words of wisdom?
Look at my post in "BUILD IT YOUR SELF" for some details about my particular garden.
Thank You....I have already started 16 flats of seeds in the basement @ 72 plants per. Wife let me use living room bay window for temp green house.
