Hey Green Acre Homestead! I have been using my wheel hoe for over 7 years now. Raking up the weeds helps to remove the seeds and thus reduces weed pressure in the future. Keep doing that, it pays dividends! Making raised beds, just use your tiller and the garden rake.Then get a broad fork

@glenschumannGlensWorkshop 3 жыл бұрын

Something my Dad taught me decades ago. For any implement which you use to work the soil, very soon after use, clean the off soil and treat with a grease or oil. For my garden hoes, shovels, etc I made a galvanized bucket with coarse sand and waste motor oil for this purpose. This will keep you implements rust free and help them go through the soil more efficiently.

We have, but this garden plot will change with seasons and crops to where the mulch would just be in our way later. For example, we're thinking of growing a full winter wheat crop in the plot over winter and if we do, it will be a solid planting without any rows. Thanks!

I think your soil is fairly hard, possibly a lot of clay, or crust. A narrower oscillating hoe, like an 8" that cuts less in one pass would probably be a better size, and possibly reduce the duck feet by 1 when its wet and crusty or hard. even 1 duck foot, with lots of passes is easier then forcing 2 if its really hard. We really enjoy using our hoss tools, fullsize tractor, and BCS. they all have a place on our property. good luck!

I'm planning to purchase the double wheel hoe as a single item and then buy the plow attachment and the oscillating / stirrup hoe attachment. Hoss promotes certain deals but I'm not big on the sweeps they offer (they look like knives and differ from the ones pictured in your video). I feel as though the stirrup hoe would perform better than the sweeps. As someone with experience, what do you think? Thanks!

Call me crazy, but I think a sharp hoe and a tine rake is probably faster. You get more ummph when you pull versus pushing, and you don't have to keep going over it twice. That being said, I imagine it's not near as hard on your back, so it very well might be worth the extra work in the long run. I bet a 2-man crew with one working that wheel hoe, and one working a tine rake or cultivator could really get some work done. Thanks for the video.

@HB-bc5po 4 жыл бұрын

Stephen Siler for what he was doing you may be right! He wasn't really using the tool to its full potential. Weeding with the Hoss wheel hoe should be done PROACTIVELY, if the weeds are that large you're really too late. It should have been used when the weeds were extremely tiny, to break up the very fine roots. I'm considering purchasing the Hoss after experimenting with an old wheel hoe with just 3 cultivator tines. Using it weekly (before weeds are there!!) its been extremely fast, easy, and kept the garden amazingly weed free between the rows.

Ободрать под 30 градусов режущую кромку напильником, чтобы клин свободно проходил сквозь преграду. Отшлифовать поверхность мелким бруском. День, два дать хорошую нагрузку, выявить на сколько затупилось лезвие. Плоскость по горизонтали поправить мокрым мелким камнем, чтобы снять заусенцы. Хорошо отполировать. Это даст возможность сделать наклёп металла во время работы. Рабочую сторону поправить под 40 градусов. Здесь угол будет упрочнять металл в процессе работы. Иногда надо править заусенцы. Нужно очищать металл после работы и в процессе работы снимать налипшую землю.
