OK it's me again, I have checked all the archives and can't find anything on what yall use to make furrows. On the job I have used a rolling cultivator in the past to make furrows and cultivate at the same time. Now that I will be on my own with just an 8n and H I need something on the small size. Has anyone tried adapting rolling cultivators for one row or two, or what do you guys do I want to raise sweetcorn.

Randy, In the Texas/Okla. panhandle We call what you are talking about ..... Listing ! The implement is a toolbar that has a given # of standards on it , on each standard is a Middlebuster sweep. IE, 5 sweeps will give you 4 matched tops/bottoms, depending on where you are planting.
Hope this helps,
John A.

Sorry, maybe different for yall but here in cal or ( Terminator land ) as we now call it. We make our hills or seed beds first because water is precious and scarce, we then pre-irrigate to get the moisture down so that when we plant the seed will germinate. This hilling or seed bed making is what we call "furrowing out the ground". I am preparing to move to Arky so I need to know the correct way yall do it, I have 8n and H Farmall. thanks for your help

Up here in Minnesota, it's so darn wet we have a heck of a time getting seed in the ground in spring - all the snow melt & spring rains. Can't help you with your situation I'm afraid, we do anything we can to dry the ground out 8 out of 10 years.....

Are you making furrows between rows of growing corn, to catch water? Hilling up the corn to kill weeds in the row? Lilliston made (also sold by A-C) a 2-row rolling cultivator that would work on a smaller tractor. You can also get rolling cultivator spider-wheel assemblies from Agri-Supply that you can mount on your own toolbar.

I'm sure others will not be as dense as I am, but I use a corn planter for planting corn in rows.

Are you looking to make shallow trenches down a field and then drop the corn in by hand? Sorry I don't understand. A furrow is something a plow makes, but I can tell that isn't what you want.

Would a small 3-point field cultivator with just a shovel per row be what you are looking for?
