a hoe on wheels
« on: January 19, 2019, 15:41 »
I was watching a farming program the other afternoon and it  included a smallholder growing veg I think it was in Northern Ireland I was watching one of the lads using a hoe on wheels I think we used to call them a J Hoe but not sure  :unsure:

did anyone see the prog or knows what they call this type of hoe?

Funnily enough it's called a wheel hoe ;) They are quite expensive to buy.

One on ebay reasonable starting price

Rowland, here's one I made earlier...

The 'Growster' Wheel Hoe... in Equipment Shed - Page 1 of 2

I've still got it, and if you're ever around here, you're welcome to have it! (We've given up 'The Patch' after a long and hard decision time!

It's very 'robust' and like many of these implements, home-made, but there again, why not replicate the actions of our forebears!

Thanks for that link Growster, you've given me some ideas now to make something similar myself!

In the UK these hoes were made by J Lowe Ltd who called them the JaLo, but the tools are identical to those made in the US by Planet Junior. My "specialist subject" is Merry Tillers, and Wolseley/Webb sold the JaLo tools to be fitted to the back of Merry Tillers. You could get side hoes, small furrowers, Dutch hoes, rakes, etc. I think either Planet Junior or JaLo sold a two wheel version of the hoe frame too.
