I was digging around some old equipment left over here from our old Ford 5030. Trying to decide what I can use and what to sell or trade off for what I need. And I dug what I thought was a 9 tine Cultivator out of the honeysuckle and discovered it was a Fred Cane Cultivator Ripper instead. I was going to just get a smaller single shank Sub Soiler to do my little bit of deep relief in the garden to compliment the Tiller attachment but this thing got me to thinking...
Of course a 9 shank is way to big for this 25 horse tractor. So digging around (pun intended) I got to trying to figure out how many of the tines could this thing handle? I am getting mixed results. One side says 1 tine for every 5 HP. So that would mean I could drop 4 and run 5. But some say 1 per 10 HP. That would leave me not able to even run 3 tines. If so I guess its best to sell it and just by a single sub soiler?
I got all the bolts lose on it so I could, with some additional effort, try some different things. The cool thing about these Fred Cains is the design allows you to do all sorts of combinations by simply changing or dropping off pieces.
Has anyone run a Fred Cain on a 25 HP bigger frame Compact like this 2610 Kioti with filled tires? And if so what number of tines were you able to handle?
I mean its not like I got anything to waste here. Its already here and its either figure out if its useful for me or trade or sell it.
