Recently, I purchased a Ford 9N tractor. It runs great and saves me plenty of time doing my chores. However, I would like to extend my garden next year. So I am looking to for implements for the tractor to help me. But, I do not know what I would need. I am planning on cultivalting about 1/2 to 1 acre of land. I will plant mostly corn, but other vegetables as well.

My questions are: What implements would I need to do this? Are there any good books on farm implements for gardens?

Thanks.

For a 1/2 Acre to an Acre garden.... If it's a 'home' garden, (and I don't know what your layout is)...

Unless you plant all at once and harvest all at once, or you have lots of runout room on the ends you're not going to have room to manouver that 9N with a plow/disc/harrow etc.....

you are going to need to leave half the space as 'turn-around' room or risk ruining the other half of your crops.. I've got a big 5'Howard Rotovator on a MF 165... works wonderful for the initial tilling, but when you start to 'rotate' your garden (i.e. harvest and replant) it's just too big to get around a small area.

I'd get a big Troy-Built Rototiller or a smaller tractor (kubota etc...etc..) with about a 3' tiller... Also for a tiller, it's two or three passes and you're done.

With the plow setup, you're gonna spend more time changing implements than cultivating...

just my 2 cents worth.

With a 9N you're not going to be roto-tilling (first gear is too fast), so you need tools for conventional tillage - a plow (one or two bottoms depending on how strong your tractor is and how tough the ground is), a disk and a harrow (spring tooth or spike). A cultivator can save some hoe work after planting. A brush hog is handy for chopping things up in the fall.
