A few months ago I happen to stop buy one of my Grandpa's cousins to visit for a few who happens to be about 80 years old now, and I happen to spy this setting out next to one of his old machine sheds. So as I started to leave I decided to go back and ask him what he was going to do with it he said that all his old equipment now belonged to his son and that he had told someone to come by and get it a few months before this and they still had not came after it. So I asked if I might be able to buy it, he was a little puzzled at first but I told him I still had a small tractor and that I could play with it around my place. Then he realized just why I wanted it, he and my grandfather had bought many pieces of equipment together back in the 60s & 70s and I had spent many hours riding on the cultivator while my grandpa drove the tractor, from busting up clumps of fertilizer in the hoppers, lifting up the drive wheel when he didn稚 want to put down any fertilizer, or pulling weeds or vines off at the end of the rows. My Grandpa had past away about 4 years prior to this and he had retired and sold off all his equipment and stuff several years before that So I never had a chance to get any of it or even think I wanted it. So long story short I was giving his old cultivator but now I don稚 know what brand of fertilizer unit is on it, the cultivator is a Ferguson SKO-20 , is the unit also a Ferguson?

That's an interesting way to drive something like that... drag a tailwheel. Was this used for just corn or other crops as well?

He used it mainly for watermelon and cantaloupe patches.
