Bedder



Some tools, like the Jang Seeder, are great investments that have dramatically cut down on our labor.  I am hoping this is one of them.  The Bedder-Layer is used to raise the soil to create a bed that is even in height and width.  As the tractor pulls it along a tilled field, the Bedder section will gather soil from the wheel tracks of the tractor.  The soil is pushed to the center of the row where a shaping pan will form an evenly shaped bed.  The Layer part of the implement will place drip tape under a plastic film.

I am hoping that this will save time weeding and keep the plants cleaner during harvest.  When I use the bedder without the layer, a consistent bed to plant on will make tractor cultivating for weeds more precise.
