I"d like to ask someone who uses or has used cultivators, a few questions about them.
I planted a few acres of corn this year, now I need to buy a cultivator to get the weeds out of them. I"m not going to spray, I"m going to do it the old fashioned way.
I plan to buy a 4 row, 3 point cultivator. Here are 3 that I found on Craigslist for around $400 and would like to ask the difference between them? Which one is better?
1. This JD RM cultivator has been shedded, so it"s in better condition, but the tines are curved, with a spring.
2. The 2nd JD cultivator has the "S" tines, also called Danish tines. These "S" tines are supposed to be better, right? Although it looks like this cultivator has been sitting out and is rusty.
3. This IH 183 also has Danish "S" tines.
Can anyone give me some advice on which cultivator is better? Are cultivators with S tines newer? Which one would do a better job getting the weeds out?
Or other cultivators? Any other comments?
I have both John Deere and Case/IH dealers in my area, so that"s not a problem.
Here are some better pictures:
