West Texas | That brings back lots of memories Rafe. When my Dad and me farmed we use to run one in all our row crops. From corn, cotton to flower seeds and sugar beets. Except ours had barrowing off disks and crop shields. When set right you could run 6 mph and really tear some weeds out if you had a big enough tractor to pull it. We didn't. Had an IH 1086 that we pulled it with. Could only get it to pull it at about 5 mph or 5.5 if going shallow. Needed more weights on front to keep the wheels on the ground too when turning.
Here we have 2 of them and use them to incorporate yellow herbicide in strip till. That's about all we use them for. We don't plow cotton and when we do plow peanuts they are too big to use the rolling cultivator.
As a matter of fact, got one new last year built by Bigham Brothers out of Lubbock. | |
