What you have there is called a Ferguson Tiller and is only for primary tillage, no good for trying to cultivate row crops. No mater where you try to relocate the shanks for the rows it will never work halfway decent. I have one now and a Dearborn 3 point spring shank 2 row cultivator and a Ferguson 3 point 2 row spring shank cultivator and both can be converted to use as a light weight field cultivator and both have the guide, the Dearborn the rolling fin and the Ferguson the knife blade type fin and fenders to protect the small crop. I grew up with a Ferguson rigid shank 2 row cultivator. I had two 4 row Ford rear mount and several Deere front mount both 2 and 4 row and cultivated thousand of acres. That Ferguson tiller in no way will work as a row crop cultivator, you do not have enough clearance height to clear a crop and that clearance is not enough you could put any type of fenders on and with no guide fin it would not stay on the row, the rear mount with the fin are hard enough to keep on the row. As for the field cultivator for row crops I had both the Glenco and Deere mentioned and it would not be possible to keep then from bouncing sideways and tearing out the row and no way could you put any kind of fenders on one to keep from covering up the crop. I am a or was a Deere guy but they had some dumb ideas and being able to use the CC field cultivator as a row crop cultivator was one of them.

Today's Featured Article - It Can't Be Done! - A Tractor Story - by Neil Campbell. I'll never forget the time back when I was a boy baling hay on our Farm in Big Rapid, Michigan. The most memorable event that took place was a trip up the steepest incline on the farm pulling an old New-Idea baler with a pony-motor for power and a haywagon. I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally ... [Read Article]
