Y'all,

It's funny how rotary hoes get mentioned about every three or four years 
on the list.  While cultivating soybeans may not be as common as it was 
40+ years ago, the rotary hoe was a marvelous tool to have after you 
planted beans and a hard rain followed bringing a crust that was tough 
for the beans to sprout through.  They were very easy to pull and pretty 
much trouble free as I recall.  Ours would snag trash like a small 
downed limb, piece of wood or old baling twine barely covered in the 
field, but it was simple to clean the few times this happened.  Ours was 
not much of a threat to grass or to weeds that were very far past sprouting
