Cultivator??

[Mayfly]

Anyone have any experience with one of these??

It's basically a "spring tooth".  My dad had an old three section one (each section is about 4 feet). I use one section at a time and drag it behind a 4 wheeler.  It works great to level and prepare a food plots.

They also work great if you take out some of the tines to cultivate between rows of corn.
Saves on the cost of spray to keep the weeds down. And it gives the corn a chance to get established before the weeds do.

I would like to see more on that 3 point hitch type assembly on the back of that wheeler.

Danish tooth or s-tine cultivators like the one pictured work good for lots of things if light tillage is your desire. Works best when weeds are small and soils are loose. We had a 3 point model (Kongskilde I think) for the tractor growing up and could shift the teeth on the frame as Hunter said to use it as a 4 row cultivator for corn and soybeans. Shift them back and it was a light duty field cultivator again.

my friend has one kind of like it and we likes it but it takes some power to use ......(need to have a Polaris ) lol

Only works in loose soil.  If you want it to break ground you will need the rigid shanks, not the spring type.

Maybe next year... It seems like one of those would work really well to level and flatten the plot a bit.....

Rent a tractor with a tiller on the pto.  Works GREAT for breaking sod the first year.  Get the cheap insurance.  You will be hitting a lot of rocks and tree roots.  We did it the first year and it was the best choise by far.

Funny you say that because that is exactly what we are using. 

Glad to hear someone else has had success this route. We broke one area real well just wish I had something to smooth it and flaten it a bit more. That cultivator looks very nice.

If you are just looking to level it get yourself an old drag section. Another thing that works well to level is an old mattress spring with some weight on it. I mean the OLD ones like your grandparents slept on, not the newer style ones.

Of if you dont have a really old spring mattress chain link fence will work as well.
