Why Hillside?

The Hillside Cultivator is a versatile tool for many uses.  Its unique feature is its ability to move soil uphill as the tractor is moving either direction on the side of the hill.

  • Rolling cultivators cut and tear weeds from the soil.
  • Cultivators have a light ridging effect toward the row but are not as damaging to soil structure as a rototiller.
  • The angle at which the cultivator units operate is hydraulically adjusted from the tractor seat.  This is to avoid covering plants from the upper side of the row.
  • This type of cultivator works in a no-till situation moving through moderate plant debris without clogging.
  • Two heavy s-tines loosen soil behind the tractor wheels.
  • Many adjustments allow for cultivating narrow to wide rows or multiple rows.
  • The rolling cultivators do a good job of covering small weeds along the edges of plastic and maintaining soil on the edge of raised beds.
