Homemade "Pre No-Till Hoe Bar"
 ✖  |
Ed Mies of Loami, Ill., made this "pre no-till hoe bar" to fluff up the surface of his fields before no-tilling crops. He combined two rows of rotary hoes that he picked up at farm auctions. The front one is a Kewanee with a folding bar. The back one is a Yetter mounted on an extended 3-pt. hitch. He still needs one more of section rotary hoe, since he's a little short on the right side. But he just overlaps if needed.
Running the hoe through fields in the spring before planting fluffs up the surface just enough to warm it up and loosen it up for better seed-to-soil contact. It also helps wipe out old wheel tracks. (C.F. Marley, Nokomis, Ill.)
