Illust. 79. Joseph L. Verdun, Jr., finds corn cultivation<br />
easy with the F-20 with the No. 221-G cultivator.<br />
to cultivating checkrows, having the patented<br />
<strong>Farmall</strong> triple-control feature, by means of which<br />
the operator, just by turning the steering wheel,<br />
guides the tractor, shifts the gangs for double-quick<br />
dodge, <strong>and</strong> at the ends applies braking action to<br />
either rear wheel for a short pivot turn.<br />
Almost any cultivator will do a good job working<br />
with the rows as planted. When it comes to cultivating<br />
across the rows, especially in rolling or hilly<br />
l<strong>and</strong>, there is nothing like this shifting gang feature<br />
for doing a first-class job.<br />
The No. 221-G can be supplied either as a h<strong>and</strong><br />
or a power-lift cultivator. When the power lift is<br />
used the tractor of course must be equipped with<br />
power-lift attachment. The power-lift type is<br />
especially recommended since it not only makes the<br />
outfit extremely easy to operate but actually speeds<br />
up the work, thereby reducing the cost of cultivation.<br />
Another feature is high crop clearance.<br />
This cultivator is mighty easy to use. There are<br />
only four shovels on the front section, one on each<br />
side of each row, <strong>and</strong> the operator always has a<br />
perfect view of his work.<br />
The equipment shown in Illust. 80 is best adapted<br />
to the average corn belt farm; however, other<br />
shovels <strong>and</strong> other arrangements can ,be supplied,<br />
including a tool-bar attachment which converts the<br />
cultivator in to a first-class beet <strong>and</strong> bean cultivator.<br />
Other available equipment includes disk hillers,<br />
rotary weeders, vine lifters, knife attachment, etc.<br />
Whatever your requirements, it will pay you to<br />
consult the nearest <strong>McCormick</strong>-<strong>Deering</strong> dealer.<br />
