Rye at $5 a bushel here:http://brainerd.craigslist.org/grd/5157524957.html

I don't think it gets much cheaper.

"No chemicals" probably paying $10 a bushel for actual rye seed and the discount is for the weed seeds :D

Now there's a land tour buggy. Start building Jim. You can rent/sell it to Foggy.

I'm into my stump grinder right now, but open to commissioned work. :p

If I were looking for a low cost tractor.....I would look at this:http://brainerd.craigslist.org/grq/5173628835.html

Stu? Put a cutter on the back.....and your golden. (Not sure about condition.)

I'd PM Stu....but I gotta leave for a funeral. Can somebody PM him? TX

There are a couple of large freezer / cooler units selling on K Bid. Could be great for a large hunting camp.https://www.k-bid.com/auction/8172/item/11?offset=11

I bought a Dearborn 3 Point Field cultivator today. It's not the best one I've ever seen.....but it's OK for my purposes. Paid $250 for it......so it's hard to go too far wrong. ;)

I'm going to set it up to cultivate between my bean rows next year. Not for weed control.....but the scarify the soil a bit before I broadcast my seeds into the standing beans. I hope to get some better success when overseeding the beans. Time will tell.

Also should work good for breaking new plots and pulling some trash off the new plots. :) I need more equipment like a hole in the head.....but whats a 'chinery junkie to do? :eek:

For cultivating the beans to do late summer plantings, how much "room" do you have with the C tines to the frame?

if you figure tilling 2-3 inches down in the dirt, how high can your beans be without dragging over the tops of the beans too bad?
I have had beans on good years that were thigh to waist high by late summer, which would be way too tall for any cultivator I have seen.

^ Yep....that could be an issue. But the deer seem to keep my beans nibbled down. Currently my beans are a from 10" to 18" high. The cultivator frame will easily clear those beans......but may not do beans that have not been eaten down. I'd think I could cultivate 24" high beans with no problems.

Cool.

I wish I had my cultivator set up to go between rows. That would be nice.

That drag is exactly what im looking for but I don't want to drive that far to pick one up.

 

[MoLandOwner]

I would not cultivate beans when they are flowering.and starting to make pods.
