How To Plow a Garden - Two Bottom Plow

hi I'm Ted from everything attached we're here to show you how to use the two bottom plow this is a double plow with 12-inch mow boards we're going to show you how to adjust it and keep everything level for your gardening and feel usage se horsepower tractor Kubota this is probably the smallest tractor as far as weight wise with that much horsepower so it's still going to struggle just a little bit to pull this to bottom plow with all with these are four tires which are what most compact tractors come with now instead of the r-1 standard tractor tire the tractor tire would pull better but since most of them come with this that's what we'll be using even a tractor with a lot less horsepower if it's an older tractor that's heavier can still pull a to bottom plow with no problem for gardens I usually would use a single bottom plow if it was a small garden unless I were doing a field but we're going to show you how to get everything adjusted right on a double bottom plow seems to be going in pretty good not quite deep enough all right let me let the back down peanut we're in good with the truck let's back there and then we're running a little bit sideways but we're going to be on the first pass because after you make your first pass then you're going to run your tractor in the furrow for the next pass and then you'll be back to left so it's actually turning the grass over you've got grass on top and then you're ending up with all dirt on them the top and that's what you want this grass has this has a lot of wire grass in it if it's wadding up on the beam we're going to put some Coulter's on it that'll slice this wire grass before the plow mow board gets to it that's good right there so now that we've made our first pass and the tractors in the furrow the tractors on a slight angle they're our plow we're going to adjust it to be more level now that the tractors going to be just a little bit more now that the tractors in the furrow the plow is back level that's why this pin here is offset a little bit so to give your tractor plenty of adjustment to be able to level the plow watch your tractors in the furrow and see the grass is keeping the dirt kind of pulling up on there a little bit it swatting up on the beans just a little bit and so we're going to attach the Coulter's to it so if you've got Viney areas like crabgrass or kudzu or something like that it's going to cut it before it actually gets to the mobile okay so we've made two passes here which is four turns of the dirt we've got a nice furrow here but this wire grass is catching up on the beams just a little bit so we've added the Coulter's to the plows that's going to slice the ground before it gets to it we also have another option here that if you had a tractor that had an up or down lift instead of a nice position lift you could add this gauge wheel where you're just going to simply let your plow down to the wheel runs on the ground and you're not going to have to adjust on your lip since this tractor has a good position lift we don't need this gauge wheel on this particular tractor today so what the Coulter's are are basically two sharp discs that are going to slice the ground before it gets to the mow board so it'll cut the weeds and material like that so it doesn't wad up around this thing here you
