    We need a manual lift lever for a Farmall A.

    I just completed an attempt to cobble together a cultivator from odd parts. It failed miserably. So, I guess I need the entire front cultivator and lift lever. Where are you? 1941 Farmall A. Johnny 405-531-1229 https://www.facebook.com/visionfarms/

    Slow down my 8N so I can use my tiller

    Slow down my 8N so I can use my tiller

    You would not enjoy tilling our garden. It is as hard as some rock. We had to use a County Line subsoiler to break the clay before we could plow it. http://www.external_link.com/en/store/countylinereg%3B-sub-soiler Also, we are prepping 2.5 acres. We expect 3.5 next year.

    I will experiment with that when I can. The main reason I want to use a tiller is for stale seed bed maintenance. I understand cultivating about 1 or 2 inches deep, weekly, for a month before planting reduces weed pressure by about 90%.
