- Today I will show you my Yetter 3530 double rotary hoe that I built with the help of my good friend Isaac. The advantage to a double is that it will be like making two passes in one! Hope you enjoy the video!
dealing with weed competition more effectively and with fewer passes is great if you can if you can make it work. innovation in this area is needed. it's a financial/time risk no doubt, I really hope with some tweaking it will work well for you. 👍
Great work , amazing that it doesnt cause crop damage
Thanks! I definitely have to watch how I set it. It can become very aggressive if not set properly. Once the beans had their first true leaves I could start getting more aggressive with it.
Looks pretty innovative 🙂. Oughta really move dirt. In our long term organic, high OM soils, I would be afraid of causing compaction 🤔. The small 4/4 bar JD 400 hoe, with new spiders, will throw PLENTY of dirt..sometimes almost too much 🤷♂️.
this looks like one pass for the width of the implement instead of splitting the pass of a single rotary hoe. do you mean greater compaction on the headlands when lifted, or the heavier tractor needed to operate this hoe or both? good to see you here 👍
@@jonpeterson9733 Rotary hoe is compacting if run too wet…as is any tillage pass. 🤷♂️. Temptation is to run too soon/wet. The approach we were forced into this year (hoeing too wet, in order to stop weeds/dry the soil) would not have worked with this much total weight 🤔🤔
Our soil types must be different enough for our different methods. Here, I can’t throw enough dirt with the single rotary hoe. Every year is different with different weed pressures, but I saw many more “white thread” weeds on top of the ground this year behind the doubles. I feel like it is a very effective tool moving forward. You might like it if you tried it 😉.
@@GeigerFarm thank you for clearing that up, so your concern was in a sense tilling when it's too wet, Fehrs Farm didn't use a rotary hoe on much of their acreage this year due to wet conditions.
@@INOrganicFarmer so, you have tested your new hoe and it works, awesome!
