jeremi3210 717 #3 Posted May 11, 2021 Thinking corn, beans, peas, radishes, cucumbers, pumpkins and watermelons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,676 #4 Posted May 11, 2021 Too wet when you have clay soil. Tilling wet clay leaves balls that are almost impossible to break up 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skwerl58 702 #5 Posted May 12, 2021 I use my Wheel Horse tiller the first time I bust after plowing. I then use an 80's era Montgomery Wards by Gilson, 5 HP front tine tiller to prep for additional planting. Today I was behind the tiller for right at three hours and planted 8, 35 ft rows of corn. I have already planted beans, peas, watermelons, carrots, beets, onions, squash, cukes, broccoli, tomatoes , peppers and lettuce. The radishes are gone and they were so good. Been getting lettuce and a little broccoli. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Razorback 1,035 #6 Posted May 12, 2021 Beautiful! Too wet to till here in NW Arkansas after a day of steady rain yesterday. Soon, though, I hope. I need to stir things up between the taters and beans. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldnboy 910 #7 Posted May 12, 2021 I enjoy tilling with my 8 speed. Plus with the hydraulic lift I don't get a workout lifting that heavy tiller! Now if I can figure out a easier way to hook mine up...seems like the little idler pulley likes to make it difficult. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeremi3210 717 #9 Posted May 12, 2021 Goldnboy I like your set up! Do you run the mid and rear lift separately? I see you have two levers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldnboy 910 #10 Posted May 12, 2021 Mid lift and rear lift is ran with same lever. The second or outside lever I used to power auxiliary rear items such as a dump cart and or hydraulic tilt blade 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeremi3210 717 #11 Posted May 12, 2021 Even better! I've got a 2 gt14' set up like that! But my 3 point is also separate! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
