Mornin' All,

Now, I'm even seeing this idiom in Implement dealer ads:

Set of plows

Set of discs

And of course, let's don't forget the ever more popular favorite:

Set of cultivators.

Gimme strength! :>)

Allan

Set of cultivators could mean front and rear, as they can be used separately. I never heard the terms where I grew up -- It was put the plow on or put the cultivator on, etc. But, I never heard "put the pant on".

Hi CN,

Why in the world would anyone use the front or the rear of a mounted cultivator separately? Neither way would work worth a darn to my mind. :>(

But, I think you're right in your line of thinking. I would assume that some folks just mistakenly think that all those shanks are in themselves called "cultivators". :>)

This has gotta be a city boy/country boy thing! :>)

I use different tooling from time to time and sometimes just use the rear or just the front on my A in the garden also the B in the sweetcorn when small just the rear scratchers. Depends on soil conditions and height of the crop.

Used the rear of a vegetable cultivator many times. What's the difference in that and using a 8N, etc cultivator which does not have a front section? -- except that it works better than the 8N. Ours had a double tool bar. We didn't use it for close cultivation, that's what the front is for. Can't say that I have ever used the front section alone, as you need to run something in the rear wheel tracks. In fact with the front section mounted, that's the main reason we used the rear section sometimes. We have even used the rear section as sort of a crude field cultivator, or spring tooth.

CN,

Oh sure, gotcha now.

Been on a ton of those rear mounts too. I like the Lilliston roller, can really move with those things. :>)

Allan, I suppose they could have used terms like "a pair of plows" (2 bottom of course), a "flock of discs", or how bout this "a gaggle of cultivators", but I guess what really matters is how they might fit on a "bevy of tractors". Its like wondering why they refer to twins as a "set" rather than a "pair", but then what would we call a "pair" of triplets? Oops, we"re back to the word "set".

While we are pondering some of life's major aspects.

I'm an old country boy. It used to be breakfast, dinner then supper. I'm not sure when or why they put lunch between breakfast and dinner and what happened to supper.

I taught shop for years. One of the female principals didn't want me calling wire nuts, wire nuts. She seemed to have a real problem with screws and nuts, not to mention the (llegitimate child) file or turning on the lights. She really got upset when I called diagonal side cutting pliers, a pair of dikes. Guess we need to be politically correct, we don't want to offend anyone.

I told you we had to be politically correct. The system administrator would not let me use the word bas-tard in the message, which is the correct term for a specific type of file.

I remember blushing when the shop teacher called the name of a special punch like the center punch but having a 60 degree point rather thab the 90 degree such as the center punch. Also one studebt thought a butt gauge was a device for grading the female shop students. Another was the hermamorphidite (spelling?) Caliper Fermale and male pipe fittings. This freshman general shop girl met much embarrasment.

I had the same problem using the word, o"h I can"t use that word. Well it starts with a t and ends with a s, and has it in the middle, in trying to describe the points in the factory hyd couplers.

Does anyone know what the correct name for a pair or a plier that you use for cutting like wire! I could go for a pair of them. If you have not figured it out I have a dirty mind this AM. JON

Jon,

I've had real good luck using side-cutters over the years and then using the stripers. :>)

Also, I had an operation done at Sears that supposedly guaranteed me not to have any more children.

Trouble is, when the wife and I go to bed at night, the darned garage door keeps going up and down. I just dunno..... . :>)

I gotta go find something to do! :>)

So, if I have a 2 bottom plow, then I would have a "pair" of plows? If I have a 4 bottom, would that be "2" pair? I think I have this figured out now. Wait a minute, what if I have a 3 bottom plow? Now I am confused again.

Sometimes, if they've shrunk in the wash, you can use a pair of pliers to help you zip them up, but you're better off cutting them up with a pair of scissors and throwing them away.

Maybe it's because of where we were raised but I haven't got a clue as to how I would ever pull more than one plow or disc at a time. I don't care how many bottoms that plow has on it, it is still "A PLOW".

Hi Rusty,

My day usually starts at 3:30am.

So since it is pretty quiet here, I set around and dream these goofy things up just for something to do while my computers are churin' away doin' there thing. :>)

But still, I can't help wonderin' if the implements always come in "matched" sets? :>)
