I think it is AMAZING that farmers spend this much time and effort helping the little plants grow. I remember running a. 6’ rotary hoe behind an Oliver 60. Farmers save the world.

They say you can hear 👂 the little plants say “Thank You” when you uncover them!! Also I was told by the old timers( now I am one) if you don’t see a plant 🌱 pass by your tractor 🚜 window every once in a while you are not going fast enough!! I was a young farmer 👩🌾 so you can bet I loved to hear 👂 that. Sometimes what old is new again. I remember two row pull type rotary hoes in the 50s. Thanks.

We use a crust buster on our cotton dirt. A lot of times if we get a heavy rain and then turns hot the soil will get way to hard for cotton to come up! A crust buster has saved a lot of cotton in this Florida heat.

If the rock is big enough it will roll over it, most of the time it gets wedged and locks up, bends the bracket,,,, we run these every year it seems. This exact rotaryhoe. Just the bigger yetter. Lots of bearings, but you gotta have them! And they thin the stand out no matter how you set it. It’s just the way it is and cheaper then replanting.

Rotary Hoeing was one of my favorite jobs on the farm. (60's-70's) My Uncle had a John Deere 4020 diesel with a Year-A-Round cab. (Thank God) His Rotary Hoe would only do 4-38" rows. The 4020 had 8 forward gears, and we would Rotary Hoe in 7th gear. You could zip along at a pretty good clip. It was a dusty job. Glad there was a cab. Little chunks of dirt would hit the back window, from time-to-time.

Used a WD to pull a 6' rotary hoe back in the day. Always looked like a fun job because you could drive so fast in the field ... but the actual experience was painful because of the constant bumps on a rock hard seat while wrestling the steering wheel. It was a pull design, so for transport, you switched the hitch to the other side so the points didn't dig in.

It is common if it gets heavy rain. It is not an implement used every year by this farm. It might be once in 5 or 6 years. It is a life saver when it is needed. I know other farms on river flats and sandy areas that need to run this type of tool every year.

@jacobotes8443

Im from South Africa and this is mandatory after planting as the high heat crusts the soil over in a day or two. If done while the soil is too wet it damages yield as some plants gets ripped out with sods. But not doing it can cause you to have to replant as the corn can turn around under the crust and die.
@bigtractorpower
4 жыл бұрын
Yield plus. You have a short window to do this. If you don’t then you have to replant the entire field. Not doing it leaves huge blank spaces where the corn did not grow.

They don’t really any heavy tillage. If you notice in planting you see volunteer wheat in the field. In the fall they sub soil 18 inches to break compaction but it does not disturb the surface. In the spring they apply NH3 and plant.
