Hi,
 
I don't think it is heaven sent.  In my rock free sandy loam it works ok as a tine weeder (but I liked the original Lely better).  The other attachments for it are really brute force culivator tools--big 'ol side knives, hillers, and sweeps that I don't like to use.   With rocky soil those things may be your only choice so it may be good for your situations--it really depends on what crops you are trying to grow.  I use basket weeders (one set for row crops, one for stale bed prep), the Williams (for tine weeding only), a set of small hillers, and a potato hiller set up, all on old cultivator tractors.

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone on here used the Williams Tool System? I
really need an effective cultivating setup, as it is
just my wife and I. I have very rocky soil and a
Lilliston rolling cultivator isn't going to
work....much less a tiller.
