The other commenter is correct regarding diakon radishes. In the fall, before first frost, plant the tillage radishes. They will grow the root into the hardpan and deeper. In the spring, if there is no winter die off, till it to kill it. Wait about 3 to 4 weeks, then till for planting.

@Digidoc316 24 дня назад

Something to consider; when making your successive passes, the skids sink in, tilling deeper. I've tilled down to 6-7" with repeated passes without changing the skid depth. You can control the depth another way. Adjust your top link to be very long for less depth. I've cut grass without disturbing the soil that way. Helps with leveling the yard. I appreciate the tip about moving as you drop your tiller. I've constantly had "snipe" because I tried to get the sides square.

@PineyGroveHomestead 2 месяца назад

Tilling is so satisfying!

@lilmikeyab Год назад

I believe if you go over it a few times you can get extra depth as the skids will sink into your tilled ground. Also, on a side note, try to not engsge pto with tiller all the way up. You mention it's noisy when you engsge. That's cause there is too much angle on the pto shaft. You'll notice it gets quieter as you lower it

@PineyGroveHomestead 15 дней назад

Top soil can be deeper in different parts of the country. No Till is a great practice if you have the equipment to do it. This is what we did this spring: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fvXV4LN9rfk.html

@TF856 Год назад

Normally you only replace rototiller blades when they wear down very thin or if they break or get really bent. They're designed to be self sharpening. And they wear at different speeds so you very seldom replace more than two or three at a time. They can last for several months or years of heavy use. Blade wear depends on several different factors From metallurgy to types of ground and obstacles encountered. And you mentioned sideways pressure on the bearings. If sideways pressure is bad on bearings then every single drill press ever made has a serious design flaw. Their main function is to put a lot of sideways pressure on the bearings inside the quill. Just a thought. 😁

@PineyGroveHomestead Год назад

All good points. Thanks for watching.

My dad and I did commercial, industrial and agricultural weed abatement mostly with a bush hog and a big Howard rototiller behind a Massey Ferguson tractor. People were always complimenting on how pretty and smooth we left it after rototilling the ground with no footprints or tire tracks anywhere. I cannot find any reason for leaving the tailboard up. And it always leaves the ground looking bumpy and very messy! We always rototilled in first gear low range with high RPM to leave the ground as smooth and pretty as possible.

Going slow and steady will lay down a nice bed for sure!

@rickkatz4692 10 месяцев назад

You leave the back up when the ground is wet and you want to speed up the drying process of the dirt than you go back with the back down after a couple days and make your seed bed

@TF856 10 месяцев назад

@@rickkatz4692 we never waste time going back for a second time on any job! We do it right the first time! We almost always check the moisture level of the ground before we go to the trouble and expense of transporting the equipment to the job! My dad always used the shovel test, I also learned how to do the grip test from soil engineers on construction job sites. Same results. Not too dry and not too wet. We always left our jobs looking as smooth as buttered bread. Never ever leave tire tracks or footprints! And always leave clean even edges all the way around. Never ever leave a job looking like it was done by some rookie! A good rototilling job is art! Many customers claimed that it was so pretty that they didn't want to disturb it. That's why we had lots of repeat customers every year. People could tell that we were professionals. We charged by the hour with a 3 hour minimum. I worked in the family business for many years and also worked on many construction job sites operating heavy equipment for over 30 years.

On that depth adjustment it looks like there is room to drill more holes so it will till deeper. Our Howard tiller would till about 8-9 inches deep on the first pass, even deeper on the second pass. On another issue I have heard all my life that plowing causes hard pan and rototilling loosens it up. After doing some quick research there are several types of hardpan and a variety of causes for hard pan and a variety of ways to deal with it. I read several articles and they seem to agree on very little. Hardpan can be anything from compacted soil that water or roots cannot penetrate all the way to being sandstone. It can be anywhere from a few inches deep to several feet deep. It can be dealt with by mechanical means or by adding amendments to the soil and letting nature take its course. I get the feeling that tractor dealers are the ones that promote one type or another of farming equipment using hard-pan as a catchphrase to help sales.

@PineyGroveHomestead Год назад

Our tractor probably can't handle 8" tilling in dry clay!

@TF856 Год назад

@@PineyGroveHomestead true, you do have to rototill when the ground is crumbly and not too wet or too dry. My dad did the shovel test on jobs. And a soil engineer taught me how to do the finger test on another job.

@TF856 Год назад

After watching a bunch of videos there seems to be a difference between a tiller and a rototiller. Why do people think those two terms are interchangeable when they're talking about something totally different. When some people talk about a tiller they're talking about something more like a disc that does not have a drive shaft. I love running a tractor mounted rototiller and did it for many years in our family business growing up. We also had a tandem disc because some customers requested discing. The rototiller always did a much nicer job in a lot less time. What the rototiller did in one pass the disc took many passes.
