Farming with Walk-Behind Tractors at Kerr Center’S Cannon Horticulture Project Farming with Walk-Behind Tractors at Kerr Center’s Cannon Horticulture Project by GEORGE KUEPPER Horticulture Program Manager-Retired KERR CENTER FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE, POTEAU, OKLAHOMA • 2018 Farming with Walk-Behind Tractors at Kerr Center’s Cannon Horticulture Project by George Kuepper Horticulture Program Manager-Retired 2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many past and present Kerr Center employees and interns played valuable roles in learning from and documenting our decade of work with walk-behind tractors. Deserving special mention are Simon Billy, Bruce Branscum, Hannah Daniels, Jacob Delahoussaye, Luke Freeman, Lena Moore, Jon Pollnow, Bobby Quinn, David Redhage, Liz Speake, Seth Stallings, and Samantha Wann. PREFACE: This publication deals primarily with Kerr Center’s experience with walk-behind tractors over the ten-year period that I managed its Cannon Horticulture Project. Further observations come from continuing work with two-wheel tractors at my home garden in Arkansas. Last, but far from least, are contributions from Jim Shaw, of Cedar Farm/BCS, outside of Sand Springs, Oklahoma (see https://www.cedarfarmok.com/). Jim has been our primary source for walk-behind tractors, implements, parts, and guidance from the outset, and has been an inspiration for this publication. Before beginning, I ought to explain the context in which we used walk-behind technology. The Cannon Horticulture Project is a demonstration and research site that supports small farm education, alternative crop demonstrations, and heirloom vegetable trials and seed production. Its dominant educational feature is its organic bio-extensive manage- ment system.1,2 Organic management precludes using most commercial fertilizers, herbicides, and other pesticides. Bio-extensive management requires significant and creative use of winter and summer cover crops, mulches, and trends toward reduced tillage and cultivation. This is the context in which we used walk-behind technology. As a result, we made greater than expected use of different hay mowing implements. We even used a powered hay rake! This also means that we did a lot less tillage than we would do on most vegetable fields and gardens. 1 Kuepper, George. 2015.

They differ from four-wheel tractors in two obvious ways: they are small-scale – typically from 6-18 horse- power – and the operator walks behind the unit rather than riding it. These differences relegate walk-behind tractors to the status of garden rototillers in the minds of many. However, it is the multiplicity of attachments, the versatility, and the capability of walk-behind tractors that truly elevate them from over-sexed garden rototiller Figure 1.

Image from: http://www.gasenginemag- azine.com/tractors/a-short-history-of-the-red-e-tractor?slide- show=1 A BIT OF HISTORY Walk-behind tractors have a long history in America, beginning at least as early as 1913.4 The heyday, though, appears to run from about 1940 to 1970, with numerous manufacturers, including David Bradley,5 Simplicity, Ariens, Gravely, and Red E.6 Early on, many two-wheel tractors were simply traction units, with no power take-off (PTO), and capable of pull- ing only plows, middle-busters, ridgers, cultivators, and the like. Rototillers, as tractor implements or as single purpose machines, did not make a notable appearance in the U.S. until the early 1930s, when the Siemens Compa- ny introduced their German-made boden frasen or “earth Figure 2.
