Little farmer, I do not know your tractor so don't know if capable of front mount or not but a front mount will do a better job and easier to keep on the row. That tractor may or may not be able to use a front mount but the older tractors with the front mount even without power steering were easier to operate than the rear mount. I know because I used a late John Deere A with 4 row front mount and no power steering and a Ford 4000 (4100 Blue 3 cylinder tractor) with a 4 row rear mount and after a couple of years with that rear mount I put the cultivators back on the Deere and went from dreading the cultivating with the Ford to a pleasure again with the Deere. Cultivating or not if it will do any good will depend on what herbicides you use. premerge broadcast, premerge banded in row or post emergence and that will depend on what weeds you have. Haven't farmed for several years so do not know what herbicides are out there now but that will be a big factor if cultivating will work or not. I mostly banded herbicide with planter but depended on individual field conditions and sometimes sprayed later in season. Never used roundup as where I tried using it for quack grass in wheat stuble both applied by me and dealer applied it never even stunted that quack grass. Even your row width can come into consideration as the difference between 30" rows or 40" rows requires different ways to handle things. Some cultivators cannot be set corectly for narrow 30" rows.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm.
