    What attachment for making raised rows in garden ???

    Supposed to be the best: Plastic Mulch Layer Farming Equipment - Raised Beds :: Rain-Flo Model 2550 But it ain't cheap. This is about as cheap as it gets: That's a TSC 1 row cultivator with discs and shanks from Agrisupply, and u-bolts from McMaster-Carr. And the 'blue' is part of a...

    Got tired of waiting

    So I went to TSC and purchased a 5' backblade. I've been trying for over 2 years to find a good used one. I'm posting pictures of that, and of the lights I installed a couple of years ago(but neglected to post pictures). On picture number 5, you can see that the blade was welded on crooked. It's...

    Finally after more than two years

    Gardening trials and errors

    Last year I tried something new in my garden. I planted rye as a winter cover crop. This past spring, I cut it off with my string trimmer and used it as a mulch for some of the plants in my garden. Now I'm trying something new, dunno how it's going to work. Saturday, I mowed off the corn...

    Hydraulic shudder on GC2400 and overspeed on tach

    I posted a while back, as did others, about a hydraulic shudder developing on the GC series tractor. There were several possible diagnoses of the problem. One person said that theirs ended up being an engine that was missing slightly, my problem ended up being a fuel filter. I've put 30...

    Potato Hiller Modification

    Pictures of my potato hiller mod were asked for by several people. At the time I had no camera. The cultivator/hiller is at my BIL's house because he plants the potatoes. I used part of a Freightliner frame, U bolts and shanks with discs for the modification. The u-bolts were ordered here...
