The Ultimate Garden Tool!
e i n THE
All metal parts are powder-coated steel. The wheel hoe
features adjustable handcrafted hardwood handles,
to accommodate the gardener’s height. Never worry
about flat or dry-rotted tires. The Hoss Wheel Hoe’s steel
wheel is fitted with oil-infused bronze bushings and
dust covers.
The garden cultivator’s 15” steel wheel provides greater
stability and a lower center of gravity than the high
wheel cultivators.
The quarter-inch-steel tool bar and implements are
the most versatile on the market, giving the option of
customizing the hoe to suit your specific crops.
Several different attachments fit the toolbar. These
include a turning plow, two sizes of oscillating hoes
(8” and 12”) and sweeps.
Wheel hoes and push plows have been used
for years and this design is proven. This
reliable product will provide you with
years of service in your farm or garden.
Save time and
energy weeding,
furrowing, plowing
and cultivating!
