Rotary Hoe?

Farmers around here used to use them to keep the weeds down and to loosen up the top soil when the corn or beans are still fairly short, early in the growing season. When the crops get very tall, it is not possible to pull this thru the field without destroying the plants. You do need to move along at a pretty good pace when using a rotary hoe. If you stop for the day in the middle of a field, you can definitely tell where you left off the next morning. By breaking up the top layer of soil, the plants will shoot up sometimes 6 inches of new growth by the next day.

      Hello glad I got on this site. I hope to upload a couple of photos of my Simplicity Broadmoor 
      Model 707 Tractor. I have replaced all the belts on it and installed a new ignition switch.
      Have a mower deck which was in poor shape , repaced a couple of bushings and welded the
      deck where there was some holes. The tractor and mower deck came from a friend and the 
      mower deck metal was getting pretty thin. Some new metal was put in it and we also undercoated the underside of the deck. This was done by my friend Greg Toulman.
      I have not put the mower deck on the tractor yet, waiting for Greg to come home and give me a hand. Can you please tell me if there is a manual for the mower deck and where I could get one.
      I would also like to get some moon wheel discs as well.
      I will try and down load some photos of the tractor when my wife shows me how to. 
      I really love driving this tractor and also how well it is made compare today's tractors, especially the flexible rear end and the rollers.
      Tell the next time 
      Paul
