Hello everyone, looking for help finding a front mount cultivator to fit a wide front 4020. Also what model works best
 
Front mounts are the best and easiest to us. Where are you located??? I know of several sets of JD front mounts that would fit your JD 4020.

What row width settings are you on???? Most cultivators are wide row. To get front mount narrow row cultivators you will have to search a while.
 
I think a front mount is much easier to use, and if you have a rear mount, do not look back, have to pick the path and go.
 

Somebody uses a Cultivator anymore..???

Seems, I never did see any weed that was Cultivator resistant...excepting maybe Pea Vines...!!
 
Actually, cultivating corn/beans was the only thing I liked Dad's old 4010-D for. WFE, so I couldn't take the next four 38" rows, had to skip 4 and take the second 4. I had to get on/off on the right side, the pipe from the 3-pt rockshaft to the left side of the cultivator tripped me up once, almost did a face plant into the cultivator. Who thought a pipe 4-5 inches above the edge of the platform was a good idea?
 
Sorry for just getting back!I would like to go 6row narrow and yes they are hard to find so i know i might have to drive a way's from NE IOWA.
 
Jim, you were just thinking normal as in normal was 4 row and wide. I have never seen a 6 row front mount of either narrow or wide. I think he will have to settle for a 4 row wide and get a second cultivator to cut and weld on extensions to make his 6 row narrow. Ohio and eastern Indiana would not have used those 6 row machines.
 
Yes it sure would have. Tractor only had single remotes so the pipe from the rockshaft was only way to run other two rows.

I would think there is a six row 30" front mount cultivator sitting in a back row at a dealer somewhere, or behind the barn at a farm near you. Adding the foot to each end of the frames would be my least favorite way to get a 6-30" cultivator. The BTO I worked for in HS and summers in college planted corn in 4-38's and soybeans in 6-30's. Separate planters, cultivators, and of course heads for his 6600 combine. Only thing he could use on both was his sprayer and rotary hoe. Anyone ever seen a #690 planter? That was his bean planter! He built it out of two #490's. And built his 6-30 frt mount cultivator from a 4RW and 2RW.
