Planting potatoes under a walk-behind tractor

Planting potatoes under a walk-behind tractor is a very interesting topic, because with the help of a walk-behind tractor, the planting process becomes more simplified.

Walk-behind tractors have recently been very often used by gardeners, because they are indispensable assistants when cultivating the soil and are capable of performing various tasks using attachments.

It is worth distinguishing a motor cultivator from a walk-behind tractor. Motor cultivators are intended for cultivation only, that is, for loosening the soil surface without turning the layer over. Walk-behind tractors, in turn, are more versatile, because you can use various mounted or trailed implements with them. This equipment is used for loosening the soil, for plowing, crushing various blocks after plowing, for leveling the ground, for killing weeds and for other purposes.

Planting potatoes under a walk-behind tractor is much easier than in the usual way. Using a walk-behind tractor, plowing is carried out in the spring, thereby enriching the soil with oxygen, and weeds are also removed. In this case, a plow attachment or a milling cutter is used for the walk-behind tractor, which helps make the operation minimally labor-intensive.

Sometimes, after plowing, harrowing is necessary so that the potato tubers can sprout without obstacles. A special nozzle is also used for this procedure.

To plant potatoes, a mounted potato planter-trailer or just a potato planter is put on the walk-behind tractor.

Using a walk-behind tractor, you can also carry out hilling, fertilizing and harvesting potatoes.This will help you complete the task much faster and without much effort.
