Help with cultivators on an RTU

oros35 · Jul 18, 2013

I picked up a set of cultivators I want to put on my 49 RTU. Looking for some pictures to help me figure how it all goes together.

They were on a Z previously so I know there are a few differences and I will need to make or find a couple brackets.

It has the hydraulic lift, which is a little different from a Z too.
Searched the net for pictures and haven't come up with anything close enough or enough detail.

A few good pictures would really help!
Thanks

I think most of the cultivator parts themselves are the same but the main frame in the front mounts different. The Z-ZA mounted in kind of a U shaped bracket where as the R mounted in a square bracket. I think I might have a picture somewhere but will have to look.

Are you going to Waverly Nebraska this weekend, there is one there mounted on the tractor every year. Maybe I can take some pics and send them to your phone. chris

I don't think you can mount Z cultivators on an R without modification.
the side frames are too long and there is no lug on the axle to pin the frame to at the rear.

If they don't fit perfect, I don't mind, as long as I can make a couple parts to make it work. I'll keep the originals. Use them as templates to make some brackets/parts that fit.

Might be an excuse to find a Z!

Do you mean the R cult was hyd or the Z was? I think I have all the brkts for the R to mount the cult, but it has to be an R cult. There are many differences. My email is open and I can send some pix of an R setup to your phone. 847-309-7347 John

Both the R and Z are the newer style hydraulic. (same looking rockshaft but different location)

I would appreciate some pictures, thanks

So I've seen probably 6 different types of brackets for the rockshaft. Are there so many or are they home made/modified?

I have one that came off a Z and have seen pictures of an R with that bracket.

Then I have a different bracket that came with my R that looks modified (farm welds) but I've seen pictures of a very similar one too on an R. But the one I have physically won't work.

Is there a model number for the R cultivator? Or a manual I could get?

Thanks for all the help!
Had to make a couple parts, but got it all mounted up and seems to work great!
Found 1 front side bracket at a junk yard, made the opposing one. Made the back draft links. And made some new main tubes that hold the front on. Might not be 100% original but close enough in my book!
