U-BAR ATTACHMENTS (Sold Separately)
Beet Knife Sweeps
These
are a great first accessory tool for the U-Bar because they are so
adaptable. There are three ways to use these versatile attachments:
1. When facing inward, they are effective at cultivating underneath crops
can be angled inward to cultivate around wider or low-growing crops
like lettuce. See right.
2. Adjust the beet knives so that they are almost touching each other to
easily cultivate large areas of ground.
3. When blades are set facing outward, the beet knives are especially
well adapted to cultivate row crops with a more vertical growth habit,
such as onions, leeks, and corn. See right.
The Beet Knife Sweeps are effective when used with both traditional and
off-set handle positions.
Disc Harrow Gangs
These miniature disc harrows have been proven to be very effective for
both in-row and inter-row weed management and hilling young seedlings
like onions, beans, corn, and carrots. The angle of the gangs is fully
adjustable, making them useful for lightly hilling and cultivating a variety
of crops.
Disc Harrow Gangs are effective when used with both traditional and off-
set handle positions.
Hilling Plow Blades
These attachments can be configured with the blades facing towards each
other for hilling crops such
as corn, potatoes, and
beans (shown below), or
away from each other to
create a plow to dig furrows
for planting. See photos to
the right for proper
installation for these two
methods.
Hilling Plow Blades are also
effective for in-row
cultivation by hilling soil onto
the base of your crops and
smothering small weeds.
The hilling plow blades can be difficult to manage with the off-set handles
so we recommend using these attachments with your U-Bar Double Wheel
Hoe set to the traditional handle position.
