to cultivating checkrows, having the patented
Farmall triple-control feature, by means of which
the operator, just by turning the steering wheel,
guides the tractor, shifts the gangs for double-quick
dodge, and at the ends applies braking action to
either rear wheel for a short pivot turn.
Almost any cultivator will do a good job working
with the rows as planted. When it comes to cultivating
across the rows, especially in rolling or hilly
land, there is nothing like this shifting gang feature
for doing a first-class job.
The No. 221-G can be supplied either as a hand
or a power-lift cultivator. When the power lift is
used the tractor of course must be equipped with
power-lift attachment. The power-lift type is
especially recommended since it not only makes the
outfit extremely easy to operate but actually speeds
up the work, thereby reducing the cost of cultivation.
Another feature is high crop clearance.
This cultivator is mighty easy to use. There are
only four shovels on the front section, one on each
side of each row, and the operator always has a
perfect view of his work.
The equipment shown in Illust. 80 is best adapted
to the average corn belt farm; however, other
shovels and other arrangements can ,be supplied,
including a tool-bar attachment which converts the
cultivator in to a first-class beet and bean cultivator.
Other available equipment includes disk hillers,
rotary weeders, vine lifters, knife attachment, etc.
Whatever your requirements, it will pay you to
consult the nearest McCormick-Deering dealer.
