I feel kinda ignorant posting this, as old as I am and as long as ive farmed. But, Ive never owned a rotary hoe before. Just a harrow, both spring and spike tooth. Anyway, ive seen them with the teeth pointing straight out from the shaft on the early ones, to slightly curved at the tip end on JDs, However, Ive been givin a near new 9for me) rotary hoe that is IHC with all the decals. The teeth curve radicallya, and im wanting to know if I hook up the hoe with the teeth pointing forward or behind? Its a 4 section hoe, but im only going to use 3 sections together and put the 4th on the Cub for garden work

Allan's got that right. Use to use a JD one backward when rain crusted my seed. Forward will kill weeds "befor they come up" if not to big.

Either way.

Forward for more aggresive "weed pullin" action or backwards just to break a crust.

Either way, pull it at a pretty fair clip to keep the damage to the crop to a minimum.

Now, I'm left-handed, so this foreward or backwards is a little confusing to me - on a round circle that we are talking about.

If you stand at the back of the hoe, and the little spoon tips are digging out dirt like a fellow throwing a shovel full of dirt - then it is doing it's job poking out weeds. Me, I'd call that pointed backwards, the bottom part in the ground is pointing to the rear.

If the points are pointing down to the ground as they leave the ground, there isn't much soil action, and they won't be very aggressive at doing anything - maybe break the soil crust as mentioned. I would consider this 'pointing forwards' as the business side of the wheel has the points pointing forwards.

Um, right?

Dad always told me to go to the front or rear of a machine _depending on which way he was facing_, not related to the machine at all. Drove me nuts.

Ok, OK, how about if we just call it the normal way and the oposite way? If I stand behind a car and it is coming tward me is it going forward?

Have a good day, Kennyp
