My father called me about a month ago and asked if I would be interested in a 2 row cultivator for my WD45. I told him that I am always interested in AC stuff, especially if it is free. So, after spending five hours on the road and $80.00 for gas I acquired the cultivator. It took me about 4 hours to get it mounted because of rust in various fastners and moving parts, but it is on and it works. Now all I have to do it adjust it down to 30 inch rows and I can try it out.

It looks right at home on there John. When I put mine on, I found out it was set for 40 in rows and I had 38" so I monkeyed with it for most of one afternoon trying to get it set right. When you get it set for 30", come up and go through the neighbors sweetcorn patch for me OK? LOL

| We had to adjust our garden to 36" rows the C cultivator would not go to 30" rows. Good luck. Cultivation with a tractor does tack alot of work out of gardening thought. It is well worth the effort. We also built a marker so hill plant could be checked. than run the tractor both directions and have very little hand weeding left. |

That looks like a fun project. Let us know how the cultivating works out. I was cultivating soybeans yesterday with a 2-row snap coupler cultivator behind a D17D. Was trying to be so careful and taking it slow. Still managed to wipe out a bunch of beans - LOL
Will try to finish up today - and not wipe out any more. Getting the hang of it.

Nice looking cultivator you have there! They will move in to 30" rows. I know what you mean about the cost of getting something free hauled home. I just picked up a two row and a nos side dresser this makes three cultivators and two side dressers for my WD45's. Let me know if you need some parts for it. Don
 ------------- 3 WD45's with power steering,G,D15 fork lift,D19, W-Speed Patrol, "A" Gleaner with a 330 corn head,"66" combine,roto-baler, and lots of Snap Coupler implements to make them work for their keep. |

| Nice looking setup there Don. I want a one row with side dresser for my CA or a B. Maybe I will look for a G for my little garden. |
