Running off city water how much is your water bill 😮? You've definitely convinced me get a couple of these. Pretty tired of moving around pipe. Thanks for all you share. Super helpful
One roller used to mount in the front and the blades were close enough to the frame that rocks would get stuck between the roller blade and the frame. By moving it back with the other roller it prevents rocks and other debris from clogging against the frame. I welded them in place since I didn’t need them to be adjustable.
Hello there, I am curious to know if these spring hoes from Thiessen equipment can manage crop rows at 12". Those spinach rows seems pretty to each other. Are they 12" appart??
Thanks for all these videos. They're super helpful and really inspiring! I wanted to ask about soil prep. I imagine its important to not have clods and trash when you are cultivating. What do you do for tillage? What type of implement do you use for your seedbed? And what cover crops are you using? Thanks so much
Just the good ones. There we’re close 100 manufacturers of walk tractors and cultivating equipment here in the states in the early 1900s. But planet Jr was the best of them in my opinion.
That oscillating pattern is sick. To be running that much water, especially at one time, is freaking awesome. If possible, can you do a run down of your implements and when to use them? For instance, for carrots would cultivation start like: basket weeder > spyders > fingers? Or is it more nuanced than a simple 1, 2, 3 step system
For carrots I usually use crumble rotors first, then finger weeders with brushes, then finger weeders with the harder black fingers and lastly if needed spiders. This all depends on the size of the crop.
These sprinklers are nice to have to fill in when the end gun is off and also they do have good coverage. They're good to use in this setting as the droplets are smaller than using an actual bigger end gun . So if you need something that won't damage or flatten your crops this is the sprinkler to get
This is a fantastic video! thanks for posting. I'm thinking of getting a Power Ox for our six acre market garden. One question, most of our fields have moderate slopes. How does this system work on side hills?
Typically 3-4 times is all it takes. This year due to cold wet weather crops remain small and a month behind and have yet to fill in and cover the soil so I’ve had to cultivate a little more than normal. It’s been a brutal season, the coldest, wettest I’ve experienced in my 39 years farming.
@@boodog1972 awesome. Getting a power ox this week. Your videos have been great. Thanks for the information. I meant how many acres in cultivated ground that's not tunnels and the store and such though.
Is that a regular 2 inch receiver type hitch point? If so, that may be able to be used for pulling other types of implements with a Heavy Hitch sleeve hitch adapter.
Yes, I use a Kubota B3030 for tilling, Kubota B7100 for light tilling and compost spreading and a Farmall 100 for plowing. Plus a couple Kubota G4200 for moving irrigation reels and pulling a small trailer.
@@boodog1972 I’m really digging your growing method and strategies. I’ve been doing the Jean Martin Fortier style of market gardening. Your style of farming and videos are mesmerizing. It’s really selling me on the Tilmor walk behind tractor. What kind of compost spreader do you use and do you ever broadfork your soil?
Jason W, I'm a huge fan all the way back to you on the Farmer To Farmer Podcast. In 2019 at a field cultivation event in Aurora, Oregon I asked Lydell Steiner of Tilmor tractors to consider producing an electric Power Ox & eventually Tilmor Tractor. I think the time has come! With the news out of California eliminating the sale of gas powered 2 stroke garden tools (leaf blower, mowers, etc.) by 2024 it is obvious that the time has come for electric Tilmor products. I'm looking at the cover of the 2019 issue "Tilmor Product Informer" with you on the cover cultivating with a B&S gas powered PowerOX. I can't wait to see you on an updated issue with a Battery Electric Tilmor Power Ox! You have the contacts and the influence to reach out to the good folks back in Ohio to encourage them to speed up the pace of future innovation. As a closing note, earlier today on a report about the new regulations coming to California, they compared a 30 minute job of blowing leafs or cutting grass with a 2 stroke motor to the same CO2 emissions as driving a 2011 Ford F-150 from the East Coast to Juneau, Alaska.
@@boodog1972 That's good to hear! I added this conversation to my Twitter feed, and tagged the Joe's Garden farm's page. Looks like the twitter feed on that end has been quiet for few years. I'm turning away personally from IG & FB due to the revelations over the last few weeks. Anyways, hope you have a restful off season!
