It's kind of interesting how things can get a different name in different parts of the country. Sometimes it makes me laugh when I hear some of the names people use for things on this site (or any other site for that matter). One of the first times I visited this site I saw an ad for a Farmall Cub with "cultivators". I thought that it was a little strange that a person would have more than one cultivator for a Cub. So I decided to look at the ad to see if it was just an extra cultivator he was trying to sell with his Cub or if it was something special. To my surprise he was refering to each shank on the cultivator as a cultivator. I thought to my self this guy must not be a farmer because a cultivator means the complete machine or attachment right? Well maybe not. The first time I met my future father-in-law we were sitting in the living room "farming" while the girls were in the kitchen fixing Sunday dinner. One of the things he asked me was how many "plows" my tractor could pull? My answer was just one but that it had 4 bottoms. To me a plow was plow no matter what size it was. I always thought that the reason he asked about "plows" was because the first one he used had 2 horses in front of it and he walked behind. Of course I'm talking about moldboard plows because I don't think I had even heard of a chisel plow until I was about 20 years old. Anyway calling a cultivator a "set of cultivators" maybe isn't that unusual but it still seems strange to me. Then a few days ago I saw a post where someone called a disc harrow a "set of discs". Actually the proper description would have been "pile of junk" but at one time it was a disc (harrow). To quote the late Jackie Gleason, "What is this world coming to?" To those of you would call a cultivator a "set of cultivators" or a disc a "set of discs" please forgive me as I mean no disrespect. It's just that every time I see someone use that "terminology" I just can't help but think that guy must not have grown up on a farm. You guys have a good weekend and a good planting season. Ron

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
