Is the hub assembly for a hiller disc concaved? Or do the discs have a flat area where the bear mounts?
@OutdoorsandCountryLiving
@OutdoorsandCountryLiving 4 ай бұрын
The disc is basically just a 16” field disc. The hub it mounts too has a sealed bearing. You can find some that are just a bushing and cheaper but they won’t last as long. The shave that goes up to the tool bar is a 1” solid steel shaft. Hope that answers your question. If not just let me know and I will clarify. lol. It has been very handy for us. Thank you for the question and watching. - Tom

Why back down the rows like that? Wouldn’t it save time to turn the tractor and go down the next row?
@OutdoorsandCountryLiving
@OutdoorsandCountryLiving Ай бұрын
@@Pineywoods_Hermit lol. I don’t have a lot of room on the other end so it’s easier to just back up and then go forward. That’s one advantage to the hydro transmission I guess. Other gardens we have I do what you say but I have the this garden in a tight spot but it works. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend. Blessings!

Do you plant potatoes in this same field every year? I was told to rotate fields to prevent disease but I’d rather not break up a bunch of other land.
@OutdoorsandCountryLiving
@OutdoorsandCountryLiving Жыл бұрын
I do many years but in the fall we plant turnips and mustard greens. Sometimes we will add in oats or wheat because it helps the soil over winter to pull nitrogen up and also limit erosion. It’s probably best to rotate but it works for us. 🙂

Nice implement great result. How come he keeps on backing up? Usually you would start on the outer row come back up the center row and continue sequence, without backing up 👍

This garden is butted up to a wooded area where we can’t turn around at one end, hence the backwards entrance each time.

Leave 10' border for turning, and plant a vine type plant like pickles or watermelon and just drive over the plants. The plants that remain will thrive, and your tractor will thank you later. Think outside the box💡

@@tcmits3699 good idea. We have multiple gardens and this one is the only one that’s we have that way. The others are bigger and have room all around them. It’s definitely good to be creative and have options. Thank you and have a great weekend!

@OutdoorsandCountryLiving I have a water source 500ft away and my solar pump provides 6 gpm. My soil is sandy loam so may require more frequent watering. I also have 4 250 gallon water totes that I plan on expanding to 8 and using a timer to flood the garden if that makes sense.

What's the deal with green potatoes? I keep hearing that but I eat green potatoes without issue. Peel them and they are not green.
@OutdoorsandCountryLiving
@OutdoorsandCountryLiving Жыл бұрын
When exposed to the sun they can turn green and contain solanine which isn’t good for you and has a bitter taste. You are correct, you can peel most of it away and be fine. That’s one of the reasons we hill out plants so much so they have more soil for growth and less opportunity to get exposed to the sun. Great question and thank you for the comment. Stay well.

No it actually allows them to produce more potatoes as the plants grow. If you watch the video of where we plow them up to harvest you will see how abundant they are. It works well for us. Let us know if you have any other questions. Blessings!
