| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, welcome back to the Epic Garden in podcast. I hope things are going |
| 0:16.5 | well for you. We have Zach Locke's back on the show. Today we are talking about two |
| 0:22.5 | wheel tractors. So I know the name sort of gives it all away, Zach, but if someone's |
| 0:27.2 | unfamiliar with exactly how this I think we all think of tractors as four wheels, right? |
| 0:31.7 | So how does this even work? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, I mean, you have the four wheel |
| 0:37.6 | tractor, right? And the implement goes behind it on the three point hitch. And then you also |
| 0:42.2 | have a two wheel tractor where it just has a, you know, single axle. There's two wheels. |
| 0:47.4 | And then you can put implements behind it and you walk with it. Some people call them a walking |
| 0:50.9 | tractor. And sometimes they're called a tiller. But that's a different thing. A tiller is an |
| 0:55.5 | implement. And there are some tillers that the implement has handlebars and wheels. But you |
| 1:02.8 | can't put any other implement on there. So true to wheel tractor, you can put a tiller on it, |
| 1:09.5 | you can put a power arrow on it, which, you know, just just serves the soil to build a new |
| 1:14.9 | bed top in a, in a different fashion than the tiller, right? Tillers sort of is mixing it and |
| 1:21.5 | creating that mixture, say, to turn in a cover crop where the power arrow was stirring it more |
| 1:26.4 | like a ladle stirring a soup or a snowblower could go on it. They could be used for a lot of |
| 1:32.4 | different purposes. So when I say to wheel tractor, I really mean a tractor. That's what's so |
| 1:37.5 | cool is that it really is a tractor in the sense that you can use it for many different useful |
| 1:44.2 | purposes on a farm, you know, but it only has two wheels, which makes it really maneuverable |
| 1:50.3 | and lightweight and cost effective for a certain scale of operation. Yeah. That's the |
| 1:57.6 | tiller tractor. Are there specific, I'm thinking maybe back to when you were running the commercial |
| 2:03.0 | market garden, I'd imagine the tiller tractor was pretty heavily used in that phase. Were there |
| 2:08.4 | any implements that just you couldn't live without? Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, definitely like |
