I wonder how in the world I ever managed without my 4300 w/FEL and tiller.

This is the first year with a CUT, and was it ever easy to prepare and plant the garden because of it.

The ground finally dried up, the weather took a turn for the better, so I took the day off yesterday to get some work done. It only took about 3-4 hours to work and plant the 50x60 area of my garden. Turned the soil into light, fluffy, easily workable soil with the tiller.

I used the FEL to make all the hills for the cukes, zucchini, pumpkins and watermelon. Those were by far the 30 fastest made and nicest looking hills I've ever had in a garden.

Also, when using the hand/push planter, it actually went through the soil as it was designed because the soil was soft enough.

Once you get a CUT it makes you wonder why it took so long to figure out you needed one!
How about some pictures of the 4300 working that garden?

I'd post them if I had some. I'm usually by myself out there (the wife's usually watching the kids & mad at me for spending so much time on my Deere).

As soon as it stops raining, I'll get some after pics of the garden.
