Tiller Can anyone tell me what this is?

[ohdef]

I am selling some old equipment and have no idea what this is other than it tills up 4 rows and has a plow on each side. If anyone could tell me what it is, I would be grateful.

I have seen one before, but didn't know what it was for. Well be interesting to find out.

Maybe an early attempt at using the aerodynamic principle of lift in reducing the weight of implements???

It's a cultivator that uses shallow tillers.... I'm sure a new one cost plenty of money....

It is a two row "TILLIVATOR". Each of the house frames holds essentially a garden tiller head that is turned at a fairly high speed but very shallow, 2" or so. The way it worked is the tiller passed on each side of a planted row and tilled up any weeds or grass leaving only a narrow 6-8" space for the plants you wanted to remain growing. THE plows plowed out the middle. It did a good job of grass removal but was much slower than a cultivator. Chemical applications turned them into an extinct dinosaur not many years after they came to be in the mid 60's if I recall correctly the date I saw the first one of those.
