White 485 field cultivator

Dan Golden · Dec 27, 2012

Have a chance to buy one from my grandfather. He bought it new in 1976, 36 footer with a Lindsay 3 bar harrow. Wants 500 dollars for it. Hasn't been used for 20 plus years. Anybody on here had any experience with one. Any input would be appreciated thanks, Dan

For that price,I'd have had it home yesterday.

Like a buddy of mine said to me last week- 285/485's are worth their weight in scrap and thats about it. I think those field cultivators are next to worthless- I rebuilt 2 of them and I got $550 for each of them. I personally won't buy another one unless its got decent shovels and the rest would go in for iron. Just my thoughts...

well i am between the other two replies. if it is in decent shape with good to ok shovels and the hydraulics work then i wouldn't think twice for paying $500 for 36 ft cultivator. however if it requires some work like new shovels, hoses, and repairing the frame then its only worth scrape because it would cost over $1000 for the repairs.
