High Wheel Cultivator, Self Cleaning Steel Single Wheel Hoe, Modular Plow Garden Tool for Gardening

Other reviewers mention difficulty in assembly. I am 78 with a partially paralysed leg and I had no difficulty at all. I didn't time it but estimate less than half an hour. Maybe the UK version is different.I tried it on a piece of ground I am preparing for sowing and it cut through weeds very effectively.I also tried it up and down between rows of seedlings and it is easy to control, much quicker than a dutch hoe and much easier on the back and shoulders - I'm feeling my age!In a perfect world it would have been good to have easily available cultivator and potato ridger attachments but weed control with less effort is a good start and I may look for the right size square section steel tube to adapt other fitments.Only two size spanners required and I may make a little spares box to hang on the machine with spanners, spare nuts and bolts etc. so they are ready to hand when required.It's early days, but I'm quite impressed with it so far.After a week's intensive use the nuts and bolts on the handle were coming loose. Fixed it with a couple of shake proof washers from my bits box. Would be a good idea if they were supplied as standard.Also noticed that the nuts on the bolts that hold the hoe tools in place were coming loose. Didn't want to risk over tightening for fear of compressing the tube and making the tool jam. I noticed that someone commented that this has happened to their machine so they can't change tools.Bits box to the rescue again with a couple of 6 mm trailer spring locking pins. Had to drill the holes out to 6.5 mm to be sure of an easy fit. So far works well and avoids risk of dropped nuts, bolts and spanner in the middle of the plot trying to change hoes with cold fingers!Overall a good wheel hoe but supplying shake proof washers and spring lockng pins would have made it better. Not everyone has a bits box!Had it two months now and just been hoeing round with it after a weeks rain had prevented hoeing and the weeds took full advantage. Hoeing with this is like going for a walk pushing it in front of you. So much easier on the back and shoulders and gets the job done so quickly.We've been harvesting new potatoes for a week and the home made ridger attachment made life so much easier. Like hoeing, it's just a matter of walking up and down the rows.The plot edger attachment I made is not quite so successful. It keeps the edges neat, but you have to work at it.If you grow vegetables I would thoroughly recommend this machine to keep your plot tidy and reasonably weed free.Bought this in early April and it is now late September.Still working well and the shake proof washers have kept the handles tight. I found the height adjustment bolts came loose too so drilled through to insert a trailer locking pin which solved the problem.Just come in from clearing black nightshade from part of the plot preparing for overwintering crop Scythed through the roots like butter!Last year I was seriously thinking about giving up veg. growing due to back and shoulder aches but with this machine I have had bumper crops!
