I finally got tired of killing crops while trying to only kill weeds, a new cultivator was the solution. Reached out to Tilmor and got me a new basket weeder with spyder gangs on the front axle. Spyders will help crumble any crust that forms after rain or irrigation, which causes hard chunks of soil to bury the crop, thus killing it. In front of the front axle, we're currently running knives for the bed edges, and when doing a 2 row bed instead of a 3 row bed, there is a sweep to hit the bed center weeds. In addition, when appropriate, we run the finger weeders on the front hitch. Looking forward to seeing what the final configuration will be, but so far so good. Super happy with this machine, thanks Tilmor for building great equipment.
