Twilight: Walk-Behind Tractor Operation & Repair

Walk Behind Tractors are more affordable than full size tractors and have many of the same capabilities. They also have certain advantages when it comes to navigating tight spaces and diversified crops. During this Twilight, we will learn how Garman Farm grows five acres of certified organic vegetables and cut flowers using their Grillo walk behind tractor. They will touch on basic maintenance and operation, as well as how they've set up their farm systems to grow maximum produce with minimum labor. Aquidneck Community Table, who maintains a community farm and garden on the same property, will demo the capabilities and implements of their BCS tractor so that attendees can see the differences between the two major brands on the market.
