Hiller

[lostru]

What type and where did you get it? Or even how do you get your rows hilled?

 

[Eric McCarthy]

Could you be a little more spesific in your question. Are you talking about a hiller-furrower, and if so what size tractor are you using to plow with?

 

[lostru]

Thats exactly what I'm talking about (hiller-furrower). I'm using a L2800 and a Landpride RTR12 58' tiller to prepare the beds. I do have a one row cultivator but for some reason can't figure out how to make or what attachment is needed to get this done. This is my first year at trying to do a garden. Moved and purchased 10 acres in Dec.

If I understand you correctly, I think you need a middle buster plow. Tractor Supply sells them for about $150. That is what I use after tilling.

Pull the middle buster through your garden in a straight line. At the end of the row turn around and put your inside wheels in the rut you just made and go the other direction. By doing so your rows will be offset by 1/2 the tractor wheel track width. If you are making long rows it is easier to get them straight by picking an object on the horizon and driving straight to it rather than looking over the hood at the ground. Hope this helps.

Now after watching and reading these you should have a pretty good idea of what and how
