An Ontario farmer-inventor says he solved the problem by attaching a sickle section to either side of the last sweep on each cultivator gang.
Eric Devlaeminck says his biggest problem is with milkweed which has extremely flexible stalks that tend to bend around sweeps. The add-on sections catch stalks in the "V" between sickle section and sweep, slicing through them.
Devlaeminck says it costs about $5 and takes about 10 min. per sweep to make the modification.
