I have the one in the picture below and am clueless on the right way to setthe thing up. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Do you already have the sleeve hitch adaptor bobdog2o02 ? The manual is downloadable in PDF format. I got a few implements years ago, but never did get the sleeve hitch adaptor, made modified adaptor from 4x4 and a trailer ball hitch. Worked for a while, but got moldboard plow stuck, and the modified 4x4 snapped. Now implements have sat for a few years. Will have to readdress the situation since we have the tractor now. Was using 4 wheeler, not an elegant solution to say the least. Edit.. manual attached in PDF format
I have the manual.... it doesn't delve into layout. I think I figured it out but a cultivator primer would be cool.
I'm only used to my 3 point 1 row cultivator but i would think set up should be similar. are you planning on using it for doing weeds between your rows? If so your rows have to be set up to accommadate the width of your tractor wheels. the two inner most tines need to be set wide enough that you don't uproot your crop OR cover it with dirt. slower is better most of the time. pics of your set will help.
As Farmer Steve said, you'll be removing tines to fit your row width. Uniform rows are much easier to deal with. I always ditched tractor weeding at my veggie farm since I had a hard time keeping the lines straight lol. I'm a big fan of the old Planet Jr cultivators. I sold all my farm equipment last summer but kept the old school PJr wheel hoes and attachments. Oldest one I have is over 100 yrs old.
