New Ferguson Implement

I am the proud new owner of a Ferguson Implement. The tag says it is a model SKO-20 Serial number 78825. The tag also says it was made in Detroit. From what I have read I suspect it was made after the Ferguson/Ford split.

It looks to be a two row cultivator for keeping weeds down between crop rows as opposed to a tiller for primary tillage to loosen soil. It has a shoe (not a disk) in front that seems to be intended to keep the implement on track behind the tractor by slicing through the soil. There seem to be several depth adjustment holes on the shoe and it�s mounting bracket. The nine teeth are made of spring steel (two layers) and seem to have several possible adjustments in a circular direction around their vertical axis and no real adjustment for the way the shovel or sweep would contact the soil. The implement came with what I would call a �shovel� as opposed to the sweeps I would expect to see on a cultivator.

From a Ferguson Archive search it looks like the prefix letter �S� has some meaning, though I don't know what. I�m new at this whole thing and would like to know just what the implement is and what it was it�s intended use. I�d also like to know if there is a source for something like an operator�s manual or owner�s guide for this implement.

(I apologize if my questions are redundant to those before but I didn�t find my answers in the archives. Perhaps I didn�t put in the correct search words.)

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

If it has a large rectangular ID plate with 4 rivets it was made after the Ford/Ferguson split and sold by a Ferguson dealer, if it has a small square plate with 2 rivets it is before the split sold by a Ford dealer, S meant spring tines.

Great information! Except for this board, where would one look to get this type of detail on the implements? Are there any reference books that discuss this type of stuff?

I have one of these, and mine has a coulter instead of the shoe, or it did have. The coulter was missing, so I found one at a tractor supply place and with a little work got it to work fine. The tines of course can be moved from one bolt hole to another and adjusted that way. The bolts are available, but the wedge nuts are not as far as I can tell, so if you take it apart, save those. Another post wanted to know price, and I think I paid close to $200 for mine, perhaps a little less. I found a manual on eBay, and that was helpful, but not essential. Mine was originally red, probably Ford red belly red, and therefore I suspect it was sold by a Ford dealer. I took it completely apart and cleaned and painted it (red as original, not grey).

Try this link for the pic. It is still in implement photos at left. Pic was prior to my putting new coulter on it, so doesn't show that.

There is a Ferguson cultivator just like the one you have at the action just down the road. Could I ask what you paid for yours? Plan on bidding on it and would like any idea on the price. They look like good cultivators for row crops.

I paid $200.00. I've seen a number offered at $225 around here. Mine didn't have the protector shields like the picture from the post above and mine does need some work. I'm sure I'll have more thatn $225 when I get done messing around. Hope this helps.
