The Adaptive Cultivator - Farm Implement Overview

In this video Ryan Thiessen gives an overview of the Adaptive Cultivator, and offers some guidance on how it is used while answering frequently asked questions. The adaptive cultivator system is a weed control tool for vineyards, trellised orchards, hemp and fence lines. Using a 26" finger weeder head supported by a flexible torsion arm it requires no electronic or hydraulic input as it works to eliminate weeds in the crop row without damaging the established crop. The fingers are able to run right up to, and around the crop without operator input and does not leave an unworked area like a radius on a grape hoe and the machine excels at working speeds of 4-7mph depending on soil and crop conditions.
Small growers face unique challenges and often must rely on older equipment that was developed many years ago for mechanized cultivation. This often means farmers are forced to rely on parts that are obsolete, poorly constructed or difficult to find.
Our goal is to produce a variety of implements for planting, cultivation, harvest, post-harvest, and more.
These implements will be built to last and fully supported by Tilmor, making it easy to find and purchase the equipment you need to maintain your farm.

I've been interested in the adaptive cultivator since I first saw it. My primary crop is hops, which we grow similarly to grapes, yet different in that the plant is new above ground every year. Hence more "tender". Also my farm is small scale and we use a BCS as our primary tractor. Is there any plan to offer a version of this at a smaller scale for two wheeled tractors? In row weed control is a huge issue for us and traditional row vegetable type cultivation is not an option. By the way, I love all the innovative products you are coming out with for small scale farmers!

Thanks for the information Tom!
We have a couple of potential solutions that may work. We use them with the Power Ox when someone needs to cultivate a single side of a crop ex blackberries, tomatoes, etc. because they can't straddle the row.
Feel free to send us a message on FB, Instagram, or e-mail ([e-mail]) and we would be happy to share some photos of it as I don't believe we can on YT. If nothing else it can help us learn a bit more about what you are doing and how we may be able to have the right products that can help other growers like you!
