FINALLY got to really work with the culti-weeder today.
First run looked like you drug a box blade over the hard clay I have for dirt. So, back to the shop and fab'd up two long and skinny teeth and welded them on the blade of the culti-weeder in hopes of better ground penitration.
That was the ticket. The blade would disappear from sight and the ground would lift and lay back down. Think I will try a third tooth dead in the middle for even a more efficient bite.
After it was pulled threw an area, you could easily go back an very easily pull out the long rooted plants such as alfalfa, rag weed and dandy lions due to the deep tap root being lopped off 3 to 5 inches below the surface.
Speed varied, the slower I would go it would burrow deep, draft control for this is was rather nice.
