107 views and no one can even tell me what to call it? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
The old timer i bought it from said it was for tilling and that some like it instead of disc tilling but that it was not a cultivator. i bought what he called a cultivator also which is in the background of the first pic.
Got a couple questions about the cultivator that i will post with a pic link or two in the next day or so.

Looks to me like an old chisel plow. The tines are not very deep though.

Cultivator.

Probably a "field cultivator". Less aggressive than a chisel plow, but made for working up the soil in the spring or fall.

They were called cultivators, and were also known back then as a tiller. That was sold about the time the 8N Ford was popular (new) It is essentially a field cultivator. A chisel plow has much longer shanks. Also, chisel plows have the shanks placed farther apart.

Some collectors of old Ford equipment will give their first born for one of those "rigid-shank cultivators".

Current ones similar to this are called Cultivators. I've one with similar little plows that JD called a Soil Ripper. Here's a pic of it adapted to 3 ph on my 4010. It was originally designed to be pulled by an 18 hp JD M from the drawbar hitch.

Back in the day Pitsburg probably called it a chisel plow.

In today's world, it is just a nice heavy field cultivator. They will loosen & fluff wet cold soil, where a disk will just compact it down & make concrete out of it.

The thing in the background is a cultivator, but a very light one, often combined with a planter of for single row 'row crop cultivationg'.

Cultivator. Used in spring before planting to loosen soil and cultivator can be removed to go between rows of crops to get rid of weeds and loosen soil during growing
