Not much comparison in my mind. I think most companies had a good front mounted cultivator. Neighbor had a two row on a narrow front AC WD45, and it did a fine job. AC even had "delayed lift" so the front and rear were sequenced rather than operating together. My experience is with JD. We cultivated and pulled beans. Dad had a four row front mount on his 50. He ordered a 2510 narrow front for the spring of 1966 to replace it. It came with a wide front, but he demanded it be changed for his "drive in" cultivator. The 7.5L tires on the roll-o-matic weren't as friendly going through crops, especially pulling beans, as the narrow tires on the 50 were. They liked the 2510 so much that my uncle bought one the next year.(They pulled beans with a pair of tractors) But he kept the wide front. And to my surprise (I was 11-12 years old) they came up with a wide "drive in" front frame for the bean puller(basically an old two row cultivator). The wide front was much better all the way around. When I bought my farm the old fellow I bought it from wanted to cultivate corn for me as I still had wide rows. He pointed to a spot in the tall grass where he said there was a cultivator. I didn't see anything. Well, over time a couple of pieces of pipe appeared in the frame of his Oliver 77(running on 5 cylinder)diesel. Some spring tooth gang assemblies were clamped on. I was holding my breath wondering how much corn I was going to have left. It was foolish concern. Turned out to be a clean field of corn. We tried a new Brillion rear mounted cultivator with "S" tines. It was basically worthless in our ground that can turn to brick. But, that's all ancient history! Hasn't been any more cultivating here than there has been moldboard plowing,in years.
