Hillers for a tiller

wellmax99 · Jun 17, 2016

I do plow my sweet corn, beans, garden with my little Fergie and one row plows.

but sometimes after the plants get too large for me to get over,

I want to push up some dirt to the plants.

I know they make a set of hiller attachments for a front tine tiller. As I used a set once, but I never saw another set.

you guys have most every tool that was ever made
was just wondering if anyone out there might have a set of these hillers for a front tine garden tiller laying around, that you might sell reasonable,

(see picture attached)
if not, I think I could make a set.

as I remember if you till the center row first and get the soil loose, they did a great job of pushing the dirt up to the plants. set includes a left and right so the soil is pushed away from the center gearbox,

Thought it was worth a try to ask,
Thanks, Fred

I wonder how that would work on spuds? gm

Spuds is what I used them on and they worked great, if you loosen the center row up good and deep,
Then install these hiller units, they corkscrewed the soft dirt right up to the plants on both rows,
Must go down every middle row,

They worked great, neighbor had them when I lived in Sugarland, TX,

Have never seen another set, since I moved back to Ky I always had a AC, D14 with a set of front cultivators, I could plow and throw dirt to much larger plant with that rid, one job it stared at,

Little Ferguson one row not so much,

I think I can build a set, normal for me, will be at least one trip to dr, $150 in materials and 1 month of spare time,

DR brand tools have them for about $100
