Well, I had the day off, for a trip to the coast with my wife for our anniversary. She wanted soooo badly to watch the big wedding that I had to find something to do! I fertilized teh lawn, then hooked up the new cultivator.
Works great...I used the RH lift for the midmounted portion, which allowed me to raise it when I reached the end of a row, and still complete the run with the rear portion.
I love this tractor!
I really like the ease of controlling this cultivator, but need to makes some big adjustments. I also like the ease of backing into a spot, vs. my 209 cultivator which swings and sways all over when it's in the air.

I have her squared away pretty good now, and plan to have my first run between rows sometime in the next few days. I plan to leave the mower deck on, for the simple fact that I don't want to be pulling it off and reattaching all the time. We'll see how it goes, and I'll post some pics. Right now we're weedcutting, so the cultivating has to wait a few more days. =] |

Josh, it sure looks better on your tractor than it did on mine. glad it works well for you.

Allright,
I'd like to see a rear view at ground level. Looks like your chisel plowing.... :)

Josh. When the deer at my last place wanted to snack on my garden I found an easy way to keep them away. Drink lots of fluids in the evening and just before bedtime urinate around the edges of your plot. Kept my veggies safe and after the dog got 3 rabbits the veggies thrived. Dave |

Yup...HiLo works fantastic with the tiller, but I don't really need it with this attachment. I'll probably throw the tiller back on, now that I've done some more test runs getting the cultivator adjusted for runs between the rows. I have my width and depth adjusted so that when the hydrolift is all the way down, I'm at a good depth for cultivating and keeping the weeds away. I'll run the tiller through again, since I've made a mess of things, then put her away for a while. I think this cultivator will do well this summer. With any luck, it will be on a loader tractor by the time things are up and growing well.
If you look closely, in the second picture, you'll notice deer tracks in the unturned soil. I will have THAT to combat as soon as I get stuff in the ground. I didn't have any trouble last year, but the year before, I could yell at them from the porch, and they just snickered and kept chewing. I keep a slingshot close at hand for the young, stupid ones. =/ It's hard to sleep at night knowing they are waiting for the lights to go out. |

Nice set-up Josh. Is that the Hi/Low lever on the right side by the seat? |

I've been clowning around with various speeds. Seems 2-Hi works about best. 1 is too slow with my turfs...I need a little momentum to keep from digging in.
I have AG's mounted up, but they are waiting to to go on the Big Ten. I don't really have any more garden work I 'need' to do before planting my seedlings, but it's fun to play. I will be mowing this week, so the midmount will have to go. |

Ha ha! It's a good thing my wife was busy with the 'royals' and my neighbors were at work....I was throwing rooster-tails with those turf tires! I came in covered in dirt and smiles... |
