Finally was able to got to some of those little weeds before they get out of hand. got out the old antique cultivator to make fast work of the job. Thought I would post a pic for those that have never seen one. Mark

| I have my grandma's old push "Daddy Boy" out in the shed. It has a single wheel in front of two knife type blades. It works best if you can pull it with the lawnmower. |

Yep the one i used has a big wheel and the two handles but the power source had two legs.
And the other type just had a long handle that was gripped tight and pulled with two arms . ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light.

| I actually have several in my collection. One wheels and two wheels side by side and front and back. actually used the one wheel the other day with a lister shovel on it to plant potatoes. But the one pictured is really a nice machine to run. |

| I use the one with the handle that you have to power, I also have one with the big wheel with a 5 tine cultivator on it. |

Cool old machine. Here's what I use when I can't use my 25 year old garden tractor (2nd picture) and when the grandkids aren't "helping."  I'm not space "challenged" with my garden so I plant the sweet corn on 44" centers------leaving me room for the garden tractor and tiller or disk.  ------------- Mark B10 Allis, 917 Allis, 7116 Simplicity, 7790 Simplicity Diesel, GTH-L Simplicity Ignorance is curable-----stupidity is not. |
