Just picked up a front mount Dearborn angle dozer blade for $200 It is in excellent shape, rusty but a $7 can of paint and some sand paper and it will be as good as new. I think I got a good deal on it. Not to sure cuz I have never heard of any one buying one before. The guy also has a 3pt cultivator (multiple rows)-$150 and tire chains-$100 not sure if I need them though. Anyone have any idea what they are worth? I'd really like to know. They both are in really good shape considering the age. Pretty old but just broke in. I have a 9N that I will be attaching these implements to on 10 acres. (Hobby Stuff and snow plowing)

Thanks guys- I think I'll have some cash ready on Saturday morning. I keep telling my wife I'll get my money back Plus some some day & she'll have a clean driveway this winter. (I tell her she'll get to spend more time with me cause I'll get the snow plowed faster...:):):)

If the cultivator's not worn where the teeth attach (from not replacing worn parts in time) it's a good buy. Of course the chains are good for snow like the others said. You can leave the cultivator on, it will give you some weight in the back, especially if you don't have chains on. You can even bolt a metal plate, 5-6' or so, or even a heavy wood plank on to the 3 rear shanks and use it as a poor mans's back blade, if you don't already have one.

Those are all pretty decent prices. Tire chains make a big difference in snow, but we managed without them on our 9N up in Wisconsin. Had fluid in the 11-28 rear tires, though, and most of the driveway was downhill from the garage. If you get nothing else, you'll be glad you get them. Makes a big difference pulling stuck vehicles out of drifts, etc.

When I later got a set for our MH50 I wondered how we'd ever done without them.

Depending on how much trash there was on field, and what we were planting, we would sometimes space the shovels equally on our 3 pt cultivator and make several passes, each at a new angle. That would do instead of plowing in sandy loam.

If you're gonna use to cultivate, a stabilizer strap on the rear would help get rid of the lateral slop. If there are clod shields available for it, they will definitely help. A guide rod was usually mounted off the front axle to help maintain position over a row.

I agree with Gerald about the need for chains. The prices you've listed are quite fair. The lowest price I've seen around here for a dozer blade is $300 privately; $600 at a dealer.

You NEED those chains for working in snow. The 9N will barely move without them even with new tires. New chains from CT last year were $80 per tire to fit the 9N, road type, $130 field type.

The cultivator can be a useful frame for building things to fit the three point. Not useful much as a cultivator unless you grow row crops, then it beats a hoe all to pieces, but the 9N doesn't have enough crop clearance to suit me.
