I like how you made your own tool bar ! I bought a 3 and 1 tool bar that came with cultivators , a bedder and a middle buster from Stevens Tractor years go . That was one of the cheapest investments I made for my tractor and I can do several jobs with it . Thanks for sharing and have a great evening !

My 140 came set for 48" rows and that spacing has always worked good for vegetables, tobacco ect. I love my disks and have 2 sets. I use them to list up my rows before planting and also for laying stuff by with. You are exactly right Chris. A good healthy bed can keep your stuff from drowning when you have a lot of heavy rain.

42/48 is about perfect for garden plant and is good enough for sweet corn . Any closer and it's hard to get down the middles to pick

I have a 1998 Massey Ferguson 231 tractor. The rear tires are 56” center to center.

It might go into 50 which will work for 48 inch rows . I had a 231S but I can't remember. I know a 240 will go into 50 or out to 76 depends on which rims you have as well

Very helpful! I have a receiver hitch for my tractor and an old disk that’s bent up. Been thinking about making a hilling disk attachment. Your video gave me some ideas. Thanks,

You're giving me some ideas I'll have to try. Garden beds this year I'm going with are 30in and 18in paths, I'll have to see if I can get my Ferguson cultivator rearranged to clear out the 30in row. I'll have to keep on the lookout for disk shovels to experiment like you have. Thanks for jogging the noggin'.

Biggest reason I do 48 for everything is I don't want to change the wheel spacing on the tractor constantly. My transplanter, sprayer and a few other pieces only do 42/48

I have the same cultivator but I only have 3 small shank assemblies and one large. I need to buy the hillers and the shanks to fit, where would you recommend to buy them from? I’ve looked a few places but haven’t found anything that would fit properly.

That's normal with clay not a lot you can do . I will say I learned the hard way not to add sand it'll make it concrete and to much stringy organic material will make brick . About all you can do is hoe it to break up the crust I just got done doing that

@@cornell833 show pigs are tough . First they have to be born in a bracket then you have to have stock with winning potential and really have to have had some winners already to get top prices . 4H and FFA pigs sell for about the same as good breeding stock in the 200.00 range . New line Hampshire crosses win most of the time the short legged wide back no fat at all show stock pig . Show pigs and Duroc boar's used to be our main money makers now it's crossbred breeding stock and meat pigs
