P65

I use those too, I have multiple gun carts with different heads and heights depending on what I need at the time.

@@boodog1972 oh ok so it just depends on what gun carts you need at the time. and how many of the carts do you have that you use impact sprinkler

I have five with impacts and three with the VT55. I have five irrigation reels.

One roller used to mount in the front and the blades were close enough to the frame that rocks would get stuck between the roller blade and the frame. By moving it back with the other roller it prevents rocks and other debris from clogging against the frame. I welded them in place since I didn’t need them to be adjustable.

@@boodog1972 thanks! 👍

They’re 15”. You could probably make them work on 12” row with a bit of tweaking.

15”

Yes, a bit of cutting and welding

I use a tractor mounted tiller

Just the good ones. There we’re close 100 manufacturers of walk tractors and cultivating equipment here in the states in the early 1900s. But planet Jr was the best of them in my opinion.

@@boodog1972 yeah I have a David Bradley… a PJ seems like it would be easier to handle

For carrots I usually use crumble rotors first, then finger weeders with brushes, then finger weeders with the harder black fingers and lastly if needed spiders. This all depends on the size of the crop.

50ft, they do ok in the wind, kinda depends on how high they are.

These sprinklers are nice to have to fill in when the end gun is off and also they do have good coverage. They're good to use in this setting as the droplets are smaller than using an actual bigger end gun . So if you need something that won't damage or flatten your crops this is the sprinkler to get

He’s got a video posted not that long ago showing how he does it. Slow it down to 25% though because it’s sped up like crazy

Row marker and string

🤣🤣🤣

Pole beans.

Around $6000 with shipping.

As long as you’re going up and down it’s great, going along the side of hills tends to move too much soil into to the crop rows

It’s a fantastic spreader

Typically 3-4 times is all it takes. This year due to cold wet weather crops remain small and a month behind and have yet to fill in and cover the soil so I’ve had to cultivate a little more than normal. It’s been a brutal season, the coldest, wettest I’ve experienced in my 39 years farming.

@@boodog1972 awesome. Getting a power ox this week. Your videos have been great. Thanks for the information. I meant how many acres in cultivated ground that's not tunnels and the store and such though.

@@mikeiancotter 5 acres

@@boodog1972 I have 6 acres tillable. I would like to do what you do. But my job barely gives me enough time to do corn or soy beans.

Yes

Carrots are on 20” rows so the tractor I use to dig them can fit. Before I started digging carrots with a tractor they were planted on 15” rows.

Yes, I use a Kubota B3030 for tilling, Kubota B7100 for light tilling and compost spreading and a Farmall 100 for plowing. Plus a couple Kubota G4200 for moving irrigation reels and pulling a small trailer.

@@boodog1972 I’m really digging your growing method and strategies. I’ve been doing the Jean Martin Fortier style of market gardening. Your style of farming and videos are mesmerizing. It’s really selling me on the Tilmor walk behind tractor. What kind of compost spreader do you use and do you ever broadfork your soil?

@@LordShamo I use an ABI Attachments spreader. www.abiattachments.com/product/abi-classic-manure-spreader-50-pto/ I don’t use a broad fork.

Thank you.

They’ll climb up pretty much on their own but do require some tying.

Speed over ease

It’s a row marker with six tines spaced at 15” centers. That field was for lettuce but I use them for marking all my rows

@@boodog1972 Thanks!

I use a row marker with 6 times spaced at 15”. I pull it in both directions making a grid

I just uploaded a video of it.

The poles are split cedar, I use them for beans, tomatoes and peas.

I think they’re working on an electric version. I know they’ve been talking about it for a couple years.

@@boodog1972 That's good to hear! I added this conversation to my Twitter feed, and tagged the Joe's Garden farm's page. Looks like the twitter feed on that end has been quiet for few years. I'm turning away personally from IG & FB due to the revelations over the last few weeks. Anyways, hope you have a restful off season!

@@Robert-ki9mb the Twitter page was never too popular so I gave up on it.

@@Robert-ki9mb there’s a group on Facebook for electric farm equipment. facebook.com/groups/diyelectricfarm/?ref=share

40 inch or 102cm

No, it doesn’t hurt them.

I can definitely do that next season, we close in two weeks so there’s not much out there right now.

I might have an old walk through video I could upload, I check and if I do I’ll get it posted pretty soon

I’ll have to check my receipts. They are available in the US
