Looks like it may work. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gifYou may need to add a couple of braces from the upright to the back.

Thanks, I thought I would need a couple braces as well, but its small enough so it works fine as is. The neat thing is that other than the drawbar and a couple bolts all parts came with the original cultivator and there are even a couple pieces left over for some other project. I don't have a welder so figuring out to make the conversion was the fun part of the project.

That looks pretty ingenious.
Do you have much clearance to cultivate?

Thanks,
My main use for the cultivator is to prep the sub-soil around my new house for a lawn. For the front yard I tried using a std garden tiller but it was so slow and the tiller took a real beating as the ground is very hard (clay). While roaming through the local Fleet Farm (farm supply store) I came across the pull-type cultivator and thought this might do the trick so home it came. After pulling it through the back yard a couple times I decided it would work but the pull-style hitch had to go. With a hillside and small areas to get into something that could be raised and lowered from the tractor was needed, hince this project.
After a few trips through the yard I pick the rocks out and the tiller zips right through. I then spread some black dirt (the loader is a life saver!) till again, rake, plant and water.
