Greg, I'll try. This makes about the millionth time I've wished that I had taken pictures of all that farm equipment. Now, it is only in my minds eye as most of this old stuff that we all used to use has been cut up for scrap by many of these salvage yards and just is no more. Think of a regular 6 row cultivator on the H. Instead of cultivator shanks being the size you would imagine, they were huge "C" shaped things coming down from the cultivator frame (one for each row) with a 4 foot long, 6 inch wide knife attached (flat side down)to it's foot. The knife was attached in such a way and was angled so that the total cut for that one knife amounted to about 12" as it slide thru the ground snapping the beans off along the row. The problem with beans are the vines. The crop has to be handled when the dew is down so that the vines are "tough" and the pods will not shell out. So, also at each "shank" were long 3/4" dividing rods to guide each cut row around the tires and to it's "windrow". Out in front of the whole she-bang were larger dividers, one for each tire. The rear of the cultivator was not attached. Later on we started using a rod weeder at the rear to make sure we got all the beans pulled. Newer models nowadays just use a set of dividers out in front of the tractor, lift the beans with a rod weeder behind the tractor and dump 'em into an attached windower behind that. This is a picture of an older front mounted model covering 8 30" rows. If you can imagine 6 of those rows in 22" spacing, and the whole thing squeezed up under the belly of an H. That was the first bean cutters. I tried, :>) Allan

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson.
