There was an online auction today and a Dearborn cultivator went for 320.00. There were 4 row models with rolling shields that stayed under 200.00. Couldn't a crafty guy make a couple 2 row rigs out of a more modern larger unit and end up with a better implement for less, or after selling one, no money?

What you sugested is "my middle name",that is how I farm.

Alittle "sweat equity/elbow grease" can make you a lot of moneyand improove your equipment lineup.

My uncle went the other way back in the 60s. He had the first 8 row planter around here. He went to Archbold and bought several Ford 2 row cultivators and made an 8 row folding outfit.

I am glad to hear you all think it's a good idea because I bought a John Deere 4 row with the rolling shields good shovels and good rubber on the rollers for a little over 200 dollars. I guess I'll have to paint it red or rusty to match my old Ford. I'll leave the one I sell green though.
