JD RM cultivator question

steveinohio · Jul 17, 2016

I have an opportunity to purchase a good used JD RM 4 row cultivator set up for 36" rows. It has the spring shanks with sweeps, not the spring trip shanks. Price is $400.00. When looking at it I could tell there were 2 or 3 of the rear shanks with sweeps missing. I'd like to change it to 38" rows for my operation should I purchase it. My question is there a place or a salvage yard I could purchase 3 of the entire shanks and the sweeps with the bracket that slides on to the round tube? Any assistance is always appreciated.

$400 should buy a good cultivator.

I agree. I cannot understand why the 3 shanks were not on the cultivator. All other RM 4 rows have all the shanks w/sweeps but not in the condition this one is.

I used to have a RM 630. It used S-tines. Get those from Shoup,around $20.00 each. If I remember correctly,the round bracket could be 'manufactured' by a semi skilled welder. Offer $250.
