Putting in a New Garden – Lots of seat time

Recommended Posts

Workin_Horses

This past weekend I used a couple of my tractors to prepare my new garden. I needed to move the location of my garden due to the purchase of a new piece of land next to my current property and the plans for a new building to go near/in the location of the old garden. The new garden is approxiately 30ft by 50ft.

On Saturday, I used one of my 520H’s and 12†moldboard plow to first plow the area. Then, on Sunday I used my C165 with 36†rear-mounted tiller.

Some pictures below for your enjoyment.

Nice job, did the horses beat you up much doing it?

No not really, the tractors pretty much absorbed any resistance I incurred. While plowing just had to make sure to stay in the previous furrow. Then when making the first pass with the tiller I just had to keep the wheels up on top of the furrow rows. Once I got past the first complete tilling pass the rest was a breeze. I really like the Wheelhorse tiller because the tractor takes all the beating from when the tiller would happen to bounce a little.... much better than any walk-behind tiller where your basically wrestiling with the thing..
