Just like to keep my eye open in case I ever stumble upon something that would work with my 770. Any pictures would be appreciated as well. [Reply]   [No Email]

That cultvator was made for a wide front and was the first high lift JD for more cleance. It was new in 1968. With Hydra electric cyl control was great. Gene [Reply]  [No Email]

We last used it on our 1855 for cultivating potatoes many years ago. Basically all there except gauge wheels have been used elsewhere. [Reply]  [No Email]

What models would be compatable? As you can probably tell I know very little about the cultivators. [Reply]  [No Email]

The rear pipe will not slide throgh the frame because the Power Booster is in the way. [Reply]  [No Email]

Schwiebert, 11-12-2012 18:38:30   Guess I am lucky I don't have Power Booster on my 770. I looked at a picture on here of a 60 with the pipe cultivator, how were the pipes secured?

There was a long bolt through each of those holes and through the pipes. [Reply]  [No Email]

I've still got the other side of it here in good shape,but half a cultivator doesn't do me much good. [Reply]  [No Email]

My dad took a front mount cultivator off a Case DC and adapted it to a John Deere 730. Looked really good and used it for many years. [Reply]  [No Email]
