Default Cultivating-with pics!
I hadn't really posted much about my garden this year, so I thought I'd catch up all at once.

I had this older cultivator (you be the judge what it started out as) that my dad had "reworked" for granddads 71 when he was in late Jr. High, early HS. I took it over when I was in Jr. High and redid it again. Once again for the 71. Well, I went and dug it out of the shed and again put it back into use. Don't exactly know what I'm going to do to change it, but it needs some help. Worked fine for this year anyway, so that's a good deal! Anywho.... my garden is just big enough that I'm not hoe'n it by hand so I had to use the 125 when the crop was small. Tell me what you guys think.

Well, that brings me to today. As you would expect, the crop grew. And, the 125 could no longer go over the corn and beans. So.... granddad had a 2 row cultivator. Asked him how much, and for the price of scrap, it's mine. Now, if only the 656 I borrowed was too!! (Seriously I ought to buy it. I think it is going up for sale.) Honestly, the plan for this cultivator is to "shorten" it up a bit and put a cat 1 hitch on it instead of a cat 2 and make it fit the lo-boy. It only weighs in at 700lbs, and I think I can lift it. I just have to change the hitch on it. Winter project, as I think that this is the last of the cultivating.

Funny the things I will do. That tractor was almost 15 miles away from my house and about 2 miles from my parents where the cultivator was in the shed. Drove the truck up, tractor and cultivator back to the shop to grease it and do some adjusting, then on south to my place. Took about 20-30 min to fine tune the cultivator, 20-30 min to do the garden...... then 15 mile trip back. It took all afternoon to do! LOL! But hey SEAT TIME!!!

Let me know if you want to see more pics of anything. Cultivators, garden.... I took more.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
