The New to Market Culver Creek ATV Plow

[wolc123]

There are lots of plots that you can't easily get a tractor into (especially not a big heavy 2-wheel drive one).  For those, that light-weight and reversible atv-plow/drag would be especially nice.

A front loader is the worst thing you can do to an 8n.

I agree but he likes it,  I take mine off the kioti for a lot of work as it's in the way.

No kidding.  I do two plots of less than 1.5 acres total.  I ain't buying a tractor.  The plots seem to grow just fine the way we do them with the ATV and I have a wheeler for picking up deer and to ride for fun.   We all don't farm big spreads and have a need for a huge tractor.   What the heck would I do with a tractor at my suburban home.  lol

The loader takes away the power/weight advantage of the 8n.   Also, no power steering, no front wheel power, and light front axle are all bad for a front loader.

If it will make you feel better Greg, I will sell the 4 door jeep and ATV and buy an old 2 door jeep and geared tractor.  My needs and preferences be damned!

Hopefully it won't be an issue.  I sprayed three times this year and its pretty bare right now.  What little was lift I cut yesterday but we shall see.

Good deal sir!

It Sounds like its good enough to just broadcast and roll or let a steady rain bury seed for you! Keep us posted mr!

Lol.  My neighbors may disagree with the whole art thing, but it is in the eye of the beholder.

So the Culver Creek ATV Plow was a huge success.   Spray, cut and today was plow, spread seed followed by drag.   Easily turned over top few inches.    It worked really really well.  Rain cooperates and I expect a solid plot.  Did soy beans and a brassica mix.  Will hit it with fertilizer in 4 -6 weeks.  Also moved two stands and checked/restrapped about 12 more. Solid day.  Thanks Bob!

Bob might have a few before pics.

Glad it worked out, I thought maybe it would bounce to much and not cut into the soil.

Not sure if these will work but I’m only on my phone. I think it worked well. Would t want to do acres and acres like this but it sure seemed like the ticket for small plots. Added about an 80# log to dig through a heavily sodded area. Multiple pass but broke it up. Fingers crossed for some rain.

The area with the most rocks did make it bounce a bit. That actually worked out really well because it kept the teeth totally clean. I would expect next years use on the plot would be much easier with less passes since the sod is all broken up now. Should start rotting out
