Do you have a tiller for your Cub? I have a plow, disk, and a small rear tine WB that works good if the ground is plowed first. Would rather have a tiller for my :Cub3 |

A few years ago, I started planting little yellow pear shaped tomatoes, about the size of cherry tomatoes. I have a hard time getting folks to try them, but once they do they are hooked. Bessie Mae ( my dog/child ) and I sit in the garden and eat them like popcorn. In fact, Bessie cruises the yellow tomatoes and strawberries on her own if I don't get out there in time. Bruce |

mac d, I don't have a tiller for my Cubs. It's one of those "wish list" :praying: items that I haven't got to yet. My buddy brought his 782 with a Cat 0 hitch disc and broke it down good after I plowed. Our garden is pretty small and I've been thinking about buying one of those micro tillers like a Mantis or one of the other brands because on stuff our row are somewhat more narrow than conventential row spacing so I can't get a full size tiller in there. |

Thoses Mantis tillers work great in a small garden. I have a Cub Cadet weed eater that uses a split shaft and can except attachments, one of the attachments is a tiller (similar to a Mantis) and I really like that thing for weeding. :Thumbsup |

As long as I can remember, my parents have had a 75'x35' garden...so I grew up spending a lot of time out there. As soon as my wife and I built this house 'out in the sticks', we mapped out where the garden was going.. :lol: .. We'll be putting out our garden for this year as soon as the weather is decent, and the ground dries up some....right now the garden is a slop hole!!. Our garden is about 50'x40' My wife has one end about 6' wide in strawberries :Thumbsup The rest of the garden usually ends up with 3 kinds of sweet onions (Texas Sweet, Wala-Wala, Vidalia...they all get about the size of a softball), green onions, 3 kinds of tomatos, 2 kinds of beans, 2 kinds of peas, 2 kinds of potatos, carrots, green peppers, bananna peppers, jalopeno peppers :Thumbsup , sweet corn, pumpkins, watermelon, zuchini, and a couple of different kinds of squash. We use the Cub Cadets to plow, till, and cultivate. For the last 3 years, I have also plowed mom and dads garden with a Cub Cadet. This year I bought a sleeve hitch disk, and soon to arrive is another section...so I'll have a tandem disk set -up too :Thumbsup |

For the past 3 years I have been attempting to grow a garden. But the white tail deer seem to get more out of it than I do. Last year the deer destroyed my sweet corn crop and devowered my sweet peas and green beans, ate the tops off the carrots and beats, they even ate my peper plants. However I do not complain to much about it as I look at it this way,I plant a garden in the spring and still get a harvest in the fall, albeit via a 270 rifle. So far this year all I have managed to get planted are 24 hills of russet potatoes and 20 hills of red potatoes. The rest of the garden will get planted come memorial day weekend. If I get time I will take a snap shot of my small garden, it only measures 60 feet wide by 186 feet long, small by comparison to what we had as a garden growing up on the farm. |
