Weight of Super-C cultivators?

lbg57 · Jul 30, 2010

Would anybody know what the weight of a set of cultivators for a Super-C would be? A guy has a set and is asking scrap price for them but I would like to know roughly how much they weigh. Thanks.

Complete set? I'd guess 250 lbs, perhaps more. I've
lifted the main frames-left & right- up to mounting pads;
Each 80 -100 lbs. The four shank arms probably 40 lbs
each - a little more when 3 shanks per arm. Skirts?
not too heavy. Rear cults that take out wheel tracks
included? Another 50 lbs or more. Could be 400 lbs if
totally complete set, maybe 500.

Why did it come up twice?

Full moon and the wolfman was on the prowl?

Is the rear Fast Hitch or axle mounted? FH rear is not very heavy. I'd guess the front sections at about 150 each assembled. FH rear at 125-150 and axle rear at 150-175... but it's been 50 years since I mounted one.

This won't help you any, but when I was in eighth grade and weighed about 120, they weighed somewhere around a billion pounds. AND they had to be mounted and un-mounted about every two weeks, all summer long. AND we had an old trail behind "horse hoe", a disk hiller that had to be guided by some poor fool walking behind it, holding on to the handles and holding it down and in the row, so that i would cover the potato plants, and not dig them up. Dad hired other boys my age, and we would spend nearly as much time fighting about who got to drive the tractor, as we did cultivating.

Well, maybe not a billion, but at least a ton... by the time I was a junior or senior it was a lot easier. :lol:

As for hiring young boys to help, old Bennie that worked with my dad said "You got one boy, you got one boy... you got two boys, you got half a boy... you got three (he actually pronounced it "tree") boys, you got no boys!"
