Beth,
I am not familiar with Buckhorn but do have a Rainflo flat bed, single row mulch layer without Ro-track.  Have had it for at least ten years and use it on our tiny acre.  Am very pleased with it.  Lots of steel on them and well-made (I think).

Anyone know the differences between the Buckhorn and the Rainflo bed shaper/plastic mulch layers?  I can see they are built differently, but wonder how they operate differently.  A “neighboring” farmer got a Buckhorn this year and I like the looks of it. But Market Farm Implement and the Nolts group sell the Rainflo, and I respect their selection also.  Anyone know if one works better than the other in a “relatively heavy” for vegetable soil, driving across a slight slope?  I would like to be able to use it with and without the plastic, lay two rows of drip tape, etc.

 

Thank you.
