Allan, way back in the forties Ferguson had a rear cultivator which has a steering fin. The book tells how the fin steers. If the operator allows the tractor to get too close to the crop row he steers the tractor toward the center of the row. The instant the front wheels are turned to steer the tractor to the center of the row, a heavy soil pressure is imposed all along the side of the fin. This causes the fin to deflect and steer the implement to follow the front wheels. On hillsides the tendency of the implement to fall away puts a soil pressure along the downside of the fin. This steers the implement up the hill and keeps it in the correct position. The fin should be set 3" below the shovel. I didn't know that happened back when I cultivated with that cultivator. I do know that when I cultivated for my neighbor with his DC Case that if you screwed up very much a lot of corn was cultivated out until you corrected again. :o)

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
