Tiller Attachments Create Flat Seedbed, Furrow
“My problem was getting a smooth seedbed for planting. After I tilled I would have to rake the surface to get it smooth. So I hit on the idea of attaching a piece of steel plate to the front. It’s a little wider than the tiller. I made a bracket to hold it on front, using the long bolt that held the front weight to hook to.
“Now I till a long strip with the tiller in the ground and the plate up in the air. Then I put it in reverse, lift up on the tiller and go backward, smoothing the soil flat. I added a pointed piece of steel on front to dig a furrow for planting as I made the seedbed. Depending on what I’m planting I can adjust the furrow point for wide or narrow rows and how deep it runs.”
