Its a shame to call it used.

Looks like it took its last bite, assumed the fetal position, collapsed and died right on the spot.

I won't say its old, but the tag says "Milwaukee 1, Wisconsin", and we've had zip codes for what, 50 years?

Wow, I could do 20 minutes of stand-up on that rig.

But seriously, folks- That would actually be a pretty good restoration project. The funky reinforced round pipe beams, the "T" handles on the valves, just kind of a neat rig.

As to your questions- your Cockshutt is going to be at the low end of enough tractor to handle it. You'll need a loader on the tractor to stabilize it when digging. If you try to run it off the tractor hydraulics, it won't be merely slow, it'll be glacial. Really need about 25 GPM (PTO pump or front pump) to make it move fast enough to keep you from nodding off to sleep between bites.

Good luck with it!
