Garden tilling

I've tilled over 60 gardens this year...and expect to average a couple more a day thru the end of May. This year I have added over 25 new gardens already. My rate is 40 x 40 for $40... up to 100 x 100 for 100....so basically the square root of the area determines the cost. I run a Allis Chalmers 175D (sheet metal is off of the tractor I just wore out - as it was setup for an orchard) and Howard 5' Rotovator. It is practically unstopable.

good lookin allis. your not makein bad money either. i made a bunch of money with a turning plow in nov, turning over gardens before the winter
 
Rear view of the Howard Rotovator...this is a HD 3pt hitch unit that runs off the pto...weighs close to 1000#. It will work this 65 hp tractor when tilling up sod....second pass will till about 12" deep.

Chris here is a pic of my 170/175 line of tractors....I gross (on average) $1000 per tank of fuel with these Perkins powered tractors. They are very efficient!

Hey Eldon
I see 8 tractors .Where's the other 52?Looks like a nice set up and I'm sure it keeps you busy.Are you getting any help with the school garden?Did you get the corn in?Looks like summer is finally on it's way.Needed a little warmth to get things growing.Keep the dirt turning. You need to throw a little green into all that orange.Thanks for the pics.BlaineF(WA) :lol:
 
Here's a little green...a JD MX8 mower on a 175D. Even with fluid in the 9.5L-15 fronts and front weights I have to back it on the trailer. I can cover a lot of ground with this rig and it is nice and stable in the hills with the wheels set out to 8'.
