I did market garden for many years, our big crop was Tomatoes and sweet corn . We also grew cucumbers , zucchini , green and red peppers, squash , pumpkins , and spanish onions. I think that the Ford 3600 would be a great tractor for you for preparing soil, and such but.... If you are going to garden on this scale you need a tractor to scuffle row crops with. I had a IH Super A with mounted scufflers that was the best rig for doing weed control, as you could get in close to the plants , and with the tractor being ofset, you looked forward and down at your work area. Unlike a conventional where you have to drive over the plants and look back over your shoulder at the cultivator behind you , with the off set tractor the cultivator is under the middle of the tractor. Another thing to consider is that the Super A was set up for 48 inch rows, perfect for row crop garden. The 3600 Ford will be much wider. One other piece of equipment that is very valuable to a row crop truck patch is , a one row transplanter. I had a Holland one row , two people rode the transplanter While one person drove the tractor pulling it. We would transplant bare root tomatoes , peppers and onions with this unit. Around 2000 tomatoes , 1000 peppers , and God only knows how many onions. Best of luck!

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
