on the tractor front axle shaft. When the
steering wheel is turned to guide the tractor,
the whole gang structure is thus automatically
shifted, giving a double-quick dodge. It's a
mighty slick arrangement—you'll be surprised
when you see how easy it is to handle in the
cross rows.
Another feature of this No. 229 cultivator is
the parallel lift of the gangs—no matter what
depth you work the shovels they are always at
the right working
angle and when the
gangs are raised the
shovels are all the
same height from
the ground.

No. 228-G Farmall Disk Cultivator
Illust. 88. The No. 228-G Farmall disk cultivator for F-20 and F-30 tractors.
IF your fields are infested with morning-glories,
creeping Jenny, or other pestiferous vines that
choke the crop and make the gangs on the ordinary
cultivator look like a Christmas tree, here's a
cultivator that will destroy the vines and do a clean
job of cultivating. Each front gang has two pairs of
16-inch disks. These disks can be set to throw the dirt
toward the plants or away, and the angle of the disks
can be adjusted to suit conditions. The rear section
of the cultivator carries four 13-inch disk
hillers and three spring trips with sweeps or
shovels. This rear section cleans out the
centers and works the wheel tracks.
On special order 12-inch disk hillers with offset
,... shanks can be supplied for the front section and
three straight shank disk hillers can be supplied for
the rear section to use in place of the spring trips.
The cultivator can be supplied in either hand or
power-lift type. To use the power-lift cultivator it
is necessary that the tractor be equipped with the
tractor power-lift attachment.
