My cultivator,,and a question

larry@stinescorner · Mar 11, 2017

Was in PA,,SO i took a picture of my Ford One row cultivator,,it came with my tractor, I had forgotten exactly how it was.It does have a square tool bar type tube.Cant I buy hiller discs and attach it to make a hiller?

The ones from AgriSupply should fit. Just unbolt cultivator round shanks and bolt the disc hillers in.

You can do it with what you have too. First switch your gangs side to side so they will work the dirt towards the middle rather than out. Then just get sweep shovels and cut one side of the sweep off, 3 left side and 3 right side. Put them on your shanks so the remaining side is towards the middle. They will then throw the dirt to the middle. Someone on here posted about having some factory one sided shovels a couple days back, maybe they would part with some.

like Billy C says just remove what you have and get the disc things from AGRI. If you have the ground tilled real good deep and fine those hillers will realy do the job you will need to make several passes depending on how wide you want the bed just start with discs about18in wide then on next pass move them wider intil you get the bed as high as you want and as wide as you like I use mine for hilling the spuds then use an irrigation shovel to dig works fine.

What are you trying to hill up? If you're hilling up to plant something like Sweet Potatoes then you need the biggest disc on your hiller you can find,but to hill or throw dirt between the rows on something like corn smaller disc work better.Maybe check out your brother's stuff he might have an old set of cultivators with hillers on it.

Did you ever get the Cub you were looking at,that'd be the thing to put the hillers on as its a lot easy to watch them in front than behind.

What tractor did that come with? Was it originally a 3 pt implement? I can't tell much from the picture but if that was 3 pt it may be the one row made for the 10 and 20 series Fords of the 80's. Pretty popular implement even today. You could probably get enough for it to buy what you want. I have a 1520 I use for lawn and garden and would like to have one myself.

It is 3 pt original 1 row cultivator,,original blue paint from Ford,,probably 1973 like the tractor,,have the two bottom plow,disc harrow too,that the old fellowe bought all new with the Model 2000 tractor I am pretty sure
