Lance, If you can get me a measurement I think I can tell you what make. If it measures 15" between the 2 long cross angle irons it is a Ferguson anf would have had a tag rivited on to one of the front A frame bars for the top link. If it is a Dearborn (Ford) then it will measure 16" between those angle irons and the tag would have been rivited to one of those angle irons. All the parts on the Furguson and Dearborn will look the same but when you try to interchange them the measurements will be slightly off and will not intrechange. And unless you have more parts you do not have a full cultivator. The front row will have 4 shankes for the shovels, the shank on the inner side of each row will slope slightly foward wile the shanks on the outside of the row are straight up and down as if they had the same angle as the inside ones the shovels would hit the rear tractor tires. then the middle row will also have 4 shanks and the rear row 3 shanks for a total of 11 shovels used. It should also have a pair of fenders for each row to keep the small plants from being covered with dirt. and it looks like it was supposed to have a slide type of guide in the centerto keep it centered on the row and that was Ferguson, Dearborn used a plow type coulter in theirs

I have one about like that. Color was probably red, but maybe you will find some original paint when you take a few bolts off. It's made for cultivating and does not like plowing up roots or large rocks.

Pittsburgh made these frames for a lot of companies. We have a couple of 1 row ones and a 2 row one. Some were sold as Pittsburgh and one has a Massey Ferguson tag. They are extremely versatile. I"ve got one set up for 4" rows with a Cole fertilizer distributor for tobacco, watermelons, and a garden.

How do you grow tobacco with a 4 inch row? Typo? 4 feet is way too wide. Just wondering, we had about 40-42 inch rows for tobacco.

44 or 48 inch rows are standard for tobacco around here. I'm used to flue cured, but I'm raising burley this year. I understand that it's usually grown closer than flue-cured, but I talked with the agronomist from the company I'm contracted with and he said that there should be no problems with 4' rows. The main reason I'm using that spacing is that the equipment I have is set up for it. I may make some different equipment arrangements in the future, but for the first year, I decided to stick with the 4' rows. Burley has not been grown in this area (Southeastern NC) in the past, but a research station about 20 miles away has had 3 years of good results with it, as have other farmers in our region.

..for the response. Yep, equipment will dictate what the width will be, there's no set number. We use to get the smaller rows due to the old acre quota, later went to pounds wasn't a big deal. All we ever raised was burley in Ky. It's hard to show a profit on contract burley here unless ya have really low overhead, dark tobacco has a better value. Do you have enough tobacco sticks, were they used in flue cured? Depending on the variety you will need different plant spacing, I wouldn't crowd it too much. Hope ya get enough rain, Good Luck with it!

Flue cured hasn"t been cured on sticks around here for a while, but I have plenty of them. Based on the prices offered, I think I can do pretty well because I already have all the equipment I need. The only capital expense I"ve had is field curing structures, and they are relatively inexpensive.

...work very well here with Ky's climate, not 'up' on your specific climate patterns when curing. Burley can get a real bad color with a few weeks of bad weather. Never used an outside cure, don't let it get too wet after it wilts down. I hope it works out for ya!
