Cheap EarthWay 6500 Earthway Tubular Steel High Wheel Cultivator #6500

We brought an Earthway high wheel garden cultivator to a family member in Ireland who has a large organic vegetable garden. It works amazingly well. We have only used the five-prong cultivator to weed between the crop rows in pretty heavy clay soil, and have yet to try the other attachments. It requires only the technique of using a manual push mower: one step forward at a time; a shallow pass the first time and a deeper pass the second; going down the grade rather than up it; and so on. We are so impressed with it that we've just ordered one for our home garden and allotment in California. It makes weeding a pleasure and saves our backs.

September 2, 2007 follow-up. We did not have such good luck with our second cultivator. It arrived packaged in the original Earthway box, but it was missing two vital parts and the parts that were sent were painted black, not the usual powdered steel finish. We called Earthway, which promptly sent the two parts and had no explanation why the hoe was now painted black. I asked them to make sure that the missing parts were black as well. The two parts arrived painted gray, so we have a 2-tone hoe. Additionally, the main tool, the 5-clawed cultivator, had too much solder on one of its two parts, so they did not fit together smoothly, with the result that our hoe is somewhat lopsided when it is standing up. It still works well, but its appearance and lopsidedness take away some of the pleasure of using it. We emailed Earthway about it, but never received a response.

Work-saving tool has greater operating stability than its imitators. Three tools included: Twin End Furrow Plow channels seed rows; Mold Board Plow works as plow and tiller; and the 5 Tine Cultivator handles weeding and soil loosening. U.S.A.

Customer Reviews

UPS shipping is great! Product is good. - G. Joseph - Kentucky mountains
The product is good if you have a tiller. I would have preferred a high wheel cultivator with the oak handle but there was a long wait for shipping this product.
I was told to allow 7-10 days for shipping but I received the product by UPS in 2 days. That's what brown did for me.


good idea cheapened - F. W. Adams - Murfreesboro, Tn.
When mywooden handled cultivator was stolen I replaced it with this tubular steel model. The tubing is not nearly rigid enough for use in heavy soils.Go for a model with oak or ash handles. The optional slicing hoe does a great job.


High wheel Cultivator - Dan Curtis - Philadelphia, TN USA
The high wheel cultivator is one the easiest ways to cultivate weeds right up against the crop. I like using it more than a hoe. I lay off rows with the single point plow, and it will cover rows as well. I sure do like mine and I use it alot.
