Boy remember those days. Back around the late '50s to early 60s we used a Oliver 70 with mounted cultivators we borrowed from the neighbors, and then my dad got a Case VAC with several pieces of Case equipment one being a fully mounted front and rear cultivators. Boy I remember almost being hypnotized staring down at the rows and straddling them from one end of the field to the other. Dozing off and oops wiping out a few feet of corn. Of course, like every body else we eventually started with the Anthrazine (sp.?) spray. Thanks for the video.

I laughed at, wiped out a few feet of corn. I dug out a few at the end of the rows trying to be fast. The shields definitely narrow how much wiggle room you’ve got.

Yep that is how it used to be done. I have a restored 1939 B. Wish I could find some cultivators for it.

Wondering good Job. I have a B with a 2 row. Fun to play with. Also run a 8 row 30 in.

[@kswaynes7569]

Thanks for the explanation on why only cultivating one row, I was questioning that early in the video. Corn looks good. Some early corn in Kansas is almost 3' tall and some late corn here, will compare to yours.

[@zawadafarms7402]

We’ve had so much rain, but no good hot weather to give it that boost. Hopefully it all evens out later this summer.

[@greggergen9104]

Why didn't you drop both gangs at the :50 mark? The right front gangs are in the air.

[@rickfranck9111]

Why are you doing 1 row at a time.

[@rogerhecker4111]

2 rows
