Here is a pic of the Troybilt furrower attachment that I used for years. It does an excellent and is adjustable to make the furrower. I used it to firm up the corn stalks.

Here’s a couple of units I use Dave. The one with the fingers is a great thing for getting in around plants. It was a short handle hand held thing. So I took the short hand handle out and put a long one in like a rake so I could stand and use it. Can’t remember for sure what the tool is called. But it’s like a mini cultivator. I couldn’t buy what I wanted, so I did this.

The small hoe is the one my mother and father used.

I use the same types , and crawling on hands and knees .
I am hoping to fine stuff like those finger wheels they use on tractors to weed beside the plants and pushes the dirt back up the side of the rows , to limit the amount of hand weeding .

Do you mean something like this rotary hoe?2D7F8A67-ECE9-4BF4-8519-ABBA051BD584.jpeg
The one in this picture has 2 sections. If you could find a single section it would be perfect for a garden tractor and would probably fit your row spacing.

If you mean one of these I’ve got one you can have. 6A4FCF39-3235-4346-AB05-6D9EE3135D92.jpeg
I never had much luck using it. I can get rid of more weeds and move more dirt faster with a regular hoe.

In the gardeners groups there's something held in high regard, the stirrup hoe. Apparently it would minimize the pain on back and be easier to go around the plants without killing them, which is usually my biggest concern when I use a regular hoe. I've been thinking of getting one, but I have a small garden, not like Dave.
