I use this for planting pumpkins. Last year I did 5 acres in about 10 hours all by hand. I plant oats in the spring and cut about a week before planting pumpkins. I remove all the tines from my 6 foot rototiller but the middle ones. I then cut my pumpkin rows and use the hand jabber to plant my pumpkins. Have ag services company come in and spray roundup to kill oats, and sandea and strategy for weed control. I use drip irrigation as my soil is very sandy. I am small, just have 60 acres, 6 in hay, 30 tillable, rest is pastures, woodland, home etc... Run a pumpkin patch in the fall. Have had very good success with this method.
