Andy, I have to agree with RustyFarmall on there not being a delayed lift in the rear outlet. Back in the '50s & '60s we cultivated with a stage II SM & a 448 cultivator. When raising the cultivaor at the end the front & rear would lift at the same time leaving the rear tractor tire tracks. Like you said, youcould put the front of the cultivator down without dropping the rear if you worked the hyd lever right. When we cultivated a field the second time we always ran the opposite direction so we could take the tire tracks, & weeds, left the first time when the rear section lifted early.
Later on we added a 3-way control valve that allowed us to lift either side of the cultivator independently of the other & delay raising the rear section till the rear tractor tires crossed into the end rows. We had a couple drianage ditches that angled across some fields & the 3-way valve allowed us to cultivate those points with just two rows down on the cultivator. Also worked good for point rows along the edge of a field. Until we got the 3-way valve we borrowed a neighbors Allis B (may have been a C as it had a narrow front, and his cultivator to cultivate point rows along the field edges. Back then the only chemicals we used were banded so it was important to cultivate out as many weeds as possible.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
