Weed Hog

In the 1950s my Dad had a spring tooth
cultivator that looked a little like a drag
harrow, but had adjustable-depth cultivator
teeth. His was 20 ft, four sections of 5 ft
each and he pulled it with a WD-9.

I remember seeing the name on it that said
"Weed Hog", but was too young to pay attention
to other details.

Anyone remember those? Who made them? Where
were they made?
 
Think was a brillon. We had one pulled it with a JD 70D. All it wanted. Pulled it with two sections raised with a Ford 801D.
 
Don't know what you had, when I was a kid we got a new John Deer thing everybody called a quack digger. I used to pull it with a Farmall M busting up sod before we plowed and sometimes to bust up some pasture and then resseed. It pulled super hard and had a clutch lift and I'd get to daydreaming and get too close to a fence and pull the rope and couldn't steer, stick an axle through a woven wire fence and rip out a 3 foot section. Hated that thing.
 
John Deere quack digger. That's a laugh. The Model CC John Deere cultivator was called by some people a quack digger. Terribly wrong named. Those cultivators couldn't kill quack grass no matter if you used them on the same field every day. Quack grass has very deep roots - way deeper than a CC cultivator would ever go!!!!

Where I grew up in ND the quack always had the upper hand until Graham Hoeme and Jeffrey chisel plows came into being.
