I grew up on the cultivator. JD. 60 four row front mount. There's a knack to it for sure. Set the shovels close, replace shovels if worn, Set each gang perfect depth, set each shovel on gang perfect depth, adjust shields just right according to crop height, change as needed, drive right speed to cover weeds but not crop, stay awake, readjust all those things when you go to next field. But we really had clean fields. Then when we wore that cultivator out Pa bought a rear mount 4 row and put it behind the 700 Case. I hated cultivating with the front mount but I really hated cultivating with the rear mount. Cultivate the corn 4 times if possible and the beans 3 times. Pa would start cultivating around 7 am. then I would take over around 10. Stop for dinner then I would go out until about 4. Then Pa would take over and stop for supper then go back out until dark. We had about 250 acres of row crops so we really had to keep that cultivator going. I still cultivate a little of my own and then the 80 acres of organics I custom farm for the neighbor but I have a 12 row so when I make a couple rounds, I'm way over here already. Lots different from growing up with the 4 row.
