I scored another 9BO tiller today. $50.00 and they loaded it for me. I guess I will sell my Ford tiller now. This one had been painted red at some point but underneath was the old Ferguson Gray.

It"s a Ferguson tiller which could be used for cultivating but it was also made to work up new ground and work in stubble instead of moldboard plowing. I have another 9BO that is incomplete but it is one of the old ones that had the big six rivet serial tag and I"ll probably use this one to complete that one and like I said I"ll probably sell my Ford version of the plow.
 
Spent a few hours running one of those behind an 8N. When you hit a tough spot or a rock, the shovels really like to throw dirt as the springs return the shovel to normal position.
 
Right or wrong....in Ireland we call them things 'grubbers'.....Talk
about anything else and you would need to hand everyone a
dickshunery!
LOL....Nice find....Sam
 
Sam I could live with calling it a grubber much more I could calling it a stump jump scarifier like the Aussies did...lol. I have no clue how it got that name. All the old people around here called them 9 plows. I use my Ford clone of that plow a lot. Probably more than any other plow I own.
 
So's anyway, here's mine. I suppose someone will tell me it has a few pieces missing. I 'think' this is a pic of its tag, or a pic of one of my other ???cultivators?

That is one Tony.I wonder how many different model numbers that plow has had threw the years. I have an advertisement on film from when that plow first came out and it was called the #38 tiller. Ferguson called it the 9-BO-20 and then you have yours from the Massey Harris Ferguson days and it's an ABO22.
 
We called it a scratcher. We run it over the pasture's in early spring so the Bermuda grass can spread. Just about 1 or 2 inches deep.Now people use the larger 16-18 ft. or larger.
 
Lucky you . The scarp yard around here will not allow any farm implements in their yard to be sold . I think its a shame that they'd rather cut stuff up instead of selling it to someone who could use it . They'd still make their money , but still they say no . Once its dumped , its there to stay . God bless , Ken
 
Two other yards here are the same way. Only the one yard here will sale anything to you. It must have been on sale today, it only cost me .15 cents a pound instead of the usual .20 cents a pound.
 
Where do you guys keep finding these? I have been looking all over
and they just don't seem to be around Mass. I want to get my hands
on one to reclaim a bunch of our land.
 
I have a 5 ft Ferguson bush hog -rotary cutter - whatever we want to call it. Very probably will be for sale.
I had my To-30 out with the bush hog on the back 2 last week. I was very disappointed , the ground speed was to fast when I got up to a decent speed for the mower to cut nice. Its a very rocky area with lots of obsticles to work around. It just isn"t the tractor for that kind of terrain. Its going to wind up on the block -in hopes I can wind up with another Case triple range. I gotta take a bit of time to get it listed. Very nice condition. Runs 100% ,new rubber if any one is interested.
 
Hold the phone Jason! A slight mixup. Well, maybe my mamma dropped me on my head? Maybe I take too many digital pics? and don't label them? This tag is on the disc harrows, no tag on the 9 shank, the other cultivator has a Dearborn tag, 13-3? but the shanks have NKO cast into them-a fergie code? the weeder is not easy to read- MKO-21? Which would be a reasonable code for the cultivator??
Sorry. Good thing no one is setting in stone my historical implement findings..
 
Well Tony, the NKO and 13-1,13-3 were all rigid shank cultivators. The 13-1 was known as the past model so it is possible that the same supplier supplied the tines for both plows.
 
'Stump jumps ' were completely different Jason . Whilst they were spring loaded they worked in a very different manner . Once the 'stump' or obstruction was hit the tyne flicked back and stayed out of the way . You then had the choice of leaving it up until the snag was passed , or dropping it back manually .
The implement although not invented by them, was the foundation of the MacKay Sunshine harvester company and launched a huge range of other products and Ferguson licenced implements .
It was so popular because fields could be made to produce food for the new farming family before the paddocks were completely cleared.
