Farmall Super A Implements for Community Garden

CGID · Sep 3, 2014

I married into a farming family and have inherited my father-in-law's '48 SA. It is mechanically sound. Came with the draw-bar and rear lifts linked to the rock arm - no three-point mount in other words. I would rather not use a three-point conversion if I don't have to. I want to get involved in soil prep for a couple of community gardens but I have never operated a tractor while pulling an impliment nor am I sure of what impliments to use. The only impliment for this tractor left on the farm is a single-bottom, two-way plow. Farm supply stores around here sell six or eight foot disks and harrows set up for three-points. Is it practical to pull them with the draw-bar and lift-arms? There are lots of bone-yards around here. Should I look for older equipment?

Find an old pull type disk that is 4 or 5 foot other wise you would pretty much need a 3 point

Better bet would be to get the community garden people together and have them rent a commercial rototiller and till it up that way. Otherwise you are going to end up holding the dirty end of the stick one way or another. "The ground isn't broken up enough." "You plowed too deep." "It's your tractor, not our fault you broke it." Just remember, no good deed goes unpunished. I speak from experience.

I was tempted to make some remark about "community gardens", but refrained. However, since Brett brought it up, You might want to seriously consider his comments.

If nothing else,consider that these places might require driving paved streets,so having the correct original equipment could be a must.
