Video #2 Gravely Tractor Demonstration Series 1964 Gravely Tractor L8 Rotary Cultivator

This is a short video showing a Gravely rotary cultivator fitted with plow wheels to make it easier to use.
We plowed the garden with a rotary plow the previous week (as seen in our 1st video), but didn't get a chance to plant anything. After a solid rain, the ground was compacted hard enough that we had to use the rotary cultivator to prepare it for planting.

Nice job! I love mine!

I'm not sure that I would ever do it this way -- but to each their own, I suppose. It sure looks good when you're done.

Far better than a Troy-Bilt horse!

BITE your tongue!!!

[@pete540Z]

I've never tried to use the gravely cultivator this way. I have my dad's 61 Model L-I and the rotary plow and cultivator attachments. I also have the Troy Bilt Horse, and I think it works fine. I may give the gravely a try this way though.

I used a Gravely this spring w/tiller for the first time and I have a 90's era Horse 8hp. I'd use the Horse 2:1 over the Gravely. Maybe 3:1. The gravely kinda sucked. I'd give the Gravely an A for a mower/bushhog, but it doesn't seem to do anything else well.....No wonder BCS has smoked Gravely out of existence...

Only works in reverse?

[@frothe42]

No, it does go forward.

It’s easier to cultivate backwords
