Got the cultivators on Crispy, still working on the adjustments. But it's close. Wife says I really don't need to cultivate every day....lol.

Got a sign with this verse on it that gets displayed with Crispy at tractor shows.

The more you cultivate, the more moisture you lose. Least favorite tillage job for me, but it sure is fun using that old iron.

You really need a set of fenders so you can roll the dirt in around the plants without covering them up.

Been looking..... Fenders are rare around here

You should have tried using a horse cultivator all day long. Looking at the horses rear and using the foot pedals to keep from tearing out the corn was as boring as it gets.

GP has some strange soil. Dirt looks like it has rocks in it.
I grew up on a farm with clay soil. It was difficult to work.
I'm selling a rental with 2 acres of clay. Hate clay. It sticks to everything, Harder than concrete when it dry. Turns to quick sand when wet. Moles hills become mountains.
I'm going to shed a tear if the sale goes through. A tear of joy.

You forgot to mention having hay seeds blown in your face all day.

Nice one

GP, I only run two on the back. One larger sweep centered on rear tire on each side and a small one on the bars next to the plants up front. But if this works for you...enjoy. I like to cultivate with my Cubs. Spent some time yesterday planting about 3 acres of sunflowers on one of them.

That's a lotta sunflowers!! Good to hear you are getting in some tractor time!

I used to do some garden with a Super A and would go out and scuffle sometimes just because I wanted to. That looks like a nice little rig.

I always heard them called shields around here in Nebraska.

Here is a thought for you. Put your rear set on a manual lift and when you get to end of roe you can lift front and still take out tire tracks with the back set.

It looked too wet when it was plowed. Now it will have clods all summer. BTDT

There doesn't appear to be a sweep on the adjustable square bracket on the front tool bars. Maybe they stuck them on the back at the end of the year to go faster. By the time you get things running perfect the crop gets bigger and you want to start moving things again.

That paint job is cool. That is one of those things, when you see it, you smack yourself in the head and say, Why didn't I think of that.?

dlbuck · May 9, 2021

Shouldn't the sweeps be on the front and the tines on the back? That's the only way I've seen it done in Southern Minnesota.

gene bender · May 9, 2021

yes it was too wet then they worked it now its junk for the rest of the yr.

gene bender · May 9, 2021

have you learned anything about working wet fresh plowed soil

A cultivation a day will Keep the weeds away

Traditional Farmer · May 10, 2021

We always used half sweeps on the front nearest the row for the first cultivation then full sweeps once the corn got up a little height.I use disk hillers on the front now turned away from the row first time around then turn them to throw dirt into the row after that to cover the weeds between the plants.

Cultivation is well worth the effort when you can sell the produce for 2X the money.
