I don't know model numbers, but spent a lot of my youth on an IHC 300 and Ford 960 with belly mount cultivator. Worked well, easy to steer.
Spent a fair amount of time with a 3ph cultivator, they are a little less forgiving. Hills mess with them, and to correct you need to make it worse before it gets better, tail behind the dog...
The attachments you mention are good. The disc blades replace the inner shovels and cut the weeds away the first pass. The shields protect the young crop from getting covered.
The trouble with cultivation is no one remember how, or has the time. You can't get around to it.... you need to be killing the weeds when they are tiny white spears you can't see from the tractor seat. If you wait to see the weeds from the end of the field, you are way way to late.
A row cultivator is the worst erosion creating machine in my soils, I'm kinda glad we don't any more. In my soil type, a fall plowed field will stay rough and cloudy and not wash. In late spring when you row cultivate here you create small rivers of loose fine dirt and it is our rainy season, it becomes a terrible thing here.
The older cultivators with 3 or more shovels between rows do not like heavy trash on the surface, as we tend to leave today. I couldn't get one to work any more. The newer single shank, big flat shovel, work well I hear. Something to consider.

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. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
