OT Might be problems with our food chain this summer or fall, so thinking about planting garden

if you use a 1 inch brush it will occupy more time

ever planted your face or the seeds of dissent?

 

is that for a 40 volt battery attachment?

 

I think they may have a battery powered attachment...but I have the 2 stroke version...works pretty well but it will wear you out rather quickly.

I use it mainly for spot tilling/weeding and also have a commercial grade tractor pto driven tiller.

 

yeah, I have an old mantis tiller and it works just fine. Have to clean the carburetor every once in a while, but that's common for 2 -stroke engines that take winters off

I was curious about the battery powered tillers though, but it looks like quite an investment. I already have a 18V Ryobi yard & garden fleet: weed eater, hedge trimmer, leaf blower, along with several batteries. They work great as long as you keep the batteries stored inside over the winter so they don't repeatedly freeze.

I also have a Kubota 12.5 HP diesel tractor for our 'orchard'...about 3 acres. Flail mower and tiller for the 3-point hitch. Since we went to a raised bed garden 15 years ago I haven't hooked up the tiller. Just use the Mantis

 

Yeah, I have the same Ryobi 18 volt setup..."expandit ?"...I too started with a Kubota...L3000...but found that after awhile I needed a tractor with a little more "balls" as well as more weight...traded the L300 for an MX5100 about 2-3 months ago...GREAT all-around tractor.

 

I see your plan. Make him paint longer and keep him off S2 more. I'm onto you!

 

That is not the right image for the one I have , but close enough. Mine is the 40V cordless. I can till the whole garden in one charge. I have a whole set, with 4 batteries and chargers. I can go all day doing anything I want. I even have a chainsaw attachment.

 

Oregon 40Volt Power Tools are superb. I have the chain saw, pole trimmer, hedge Trimmer, blower, and weed Wacker.
They have just introduced the cultivator onto the 40 volt offerings.
You can go separate units or a power head with all attachments.

40 volts must be badass...I have the same attachments and the 18 volt head and it works surprisingly well.

 

Had that. Once you go 40V, you will never go back.

 

The Ryobi weed rimmer?

 

would that make the weeds go away or hang around?

 

Depends if you are vegan, I suppose.

 

Or that Gwenneth thread.

 

I'm not sure what you're getting at.

 

Gettin shit done son!

 

It's looking great, buddy!

 

Raised contained beds are the way to on a garden of that size...my 2 gardens are close to 1/4 acre so i have to get imaginative when harrowing and tilling so that the actual planting rows are about 6" higher than the walking area between the rows. Also installed underground PVC lines for the sprinklers that are 6-7 feet tall.

 

Roasting an artichoke at the moment.
