It is a lil too wet to cultivate. But they are predicting rain tomorrow, and I do not think i would get through it again in a few days, so here we go.

Looks good! Haven't seen a front mount cultivator used in a long time.Your gonna have to be rolling pretty good
to cover all of that grass!!
 
I have one front mounted cultivator on my 81 year old JD H that I use in my garden and my son uses on a couple of acres that he does not spray.
 

Hey Jim,

Pictures are deceiving. It has been repainted a few times and there is a fair bit of old cracking Bondo all over. Grandpa was working on fixing it up for parades in 2003 when he got sick. He died in 2004 having not finished it. Dad bought the farm and all equipment from grandma in 2006. This tractor pretty much sat with no run time from 2003 til last year when my 2030 went down with a twisted off injection pump. I asked for the 3020 for short term but dad gave me this one instead. It is still his, but I am keeping it here. Better to use them than to let em sit.

The second 3010 was on an online only consignment in reedsburg. I put a low bid on it and got it. So now I have my 3010, grandpas 3010 and my 2030 is back up and running, but I m thinking of selling that one.
 

Actually, that is because of me. I had to narrow up the wheels, and they likely have not been moved since the Carter administration. Once I took them off and got the pinion gear moving, I used a wire wheel on a grinder to polish them up. Before that, they were yellow.

I'm not trying to be a smart azz but it
looks like the only weeds are in the row
and they are to big to cover so you are
wasting your time. A cultivator will
rarely get weeds after they are up.
 
In that case, we used sweep shovels and went fast. Throws the dirt up over the weeds in the row. (I don't do it that was anymore)
