B guys, Has anyone used the small Howard Rotovator behind their B? There is a model that can run behind a Farmall Cub. If you have, how did it work and how did you lift it at the end os a row. Thanks

apparently your tractor does not have a 3 point hitch.. Do you have hydraulics ? Any type of lift arms ? Rock shaft and cylinder? ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

the rotovator would be very heavy to rig up a hand lift... I would think you need to look into a rock shaft and cylinder first .... By mounting a 3 x 3 angle between the final drive cases on the drawbar bolt point, you could attach a couple 3 point arms off a 8N ford ( sold at Farm Store) ... and use your rock shaft to do the lifting.
You can BUY a couple different types of 3 point hitches.. Or make a simple one of your own.. Here is a photo i saw on the internet a few years ago to give you an idea.  ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |
