I'm still trying to tune it in.

16 hp

Yes and Yes

@@farmerkeith thanks for your response but that didn't clarify anything. If you are laying plastic mulch on every 30" bed what size walkways are you using?

Yes

When the plastic settles the bed is about 24" wide. You have to lay down something in the pathways or they fill with weeds

@@farmerkeith with row distance i mean the distance between the rows of plants, not the beds. So usually here most people pland lettuce heads 30x30 cm wide

Leaf lettuce 8" between rows and 6" in row. Head lettuce 8" between rows and 10" in row

@@farmerkeithwell im more wondering if planting so close to the edge of the bed, as i describe it, would work?

Not sure the model I got it used. It is the one Google finds. I pull mine with a 16 hp Kabota with no problem

Just some unsolicited advice from my own experience. Hopefully it will save someone from my expensive mistake. This method seems to work really well for this channel's farm. The results look great. But in my case it was a miserable failure. I think it may come down to soil types, and we farm on heavy clay. I tried for many seasons with a 24hp New Holland Boomer SCUT, pulling a Buckeye bedder/mulcher built for low-hp machines. We had all kinds of traction issues and difficulties with the implement fishtailing and steering the tractor, instead of the other way around. In our case we were also building 4-inch raised beds, which may have complicated our process and introduced problems. We have since upgraded to a New Holland Powerstar 75 utility tractor and a Rain-Flo 2670 bedder/mulcher with hydraulic steering. The implement also buries two lines of drip tape and spreads fertilizer via a ground-driven onboard hopper. Using an 8,000 pound tractor, the whole process should be much easier. We will know better later in the summer when we make beds for fall garlic and bulb flowers. Just my two cents. I realize upgrading is expensive and may not fit into every business model, but I wish had skipped the smaller machine. It would have saved me about $20K.

​@@whome9936hey man so how did it go with the larger tractor? I live in fairfax va and the soil here is very clay dense.

⁠@@whome9936we are also just experiencing this. Regretting not getting the bigger tractor. Going to try putting water in the wheels to see if that helps

I am still trying to figure that out

Thank You

No at all. If you do not raise the beds the roller does not make contact

@@farmerkeith Thanks

Unfortunately no.

We typically run 30" beds with 18" walk paths. This is in the U-pock area so we skip a bed. This leave 2-18" walkways and a 30" bed between each bed, so 66". That way people have plenty of room to walk and if we need more beds in the future we have them

I believe the max is a 6" raised bed

Strawberries, but we plant many things into the mulch
