Cultivator - what make and model is this one? Is it a good one? What is it worth?

[pharmvet]

I have been looking for a 4 row cultivator to use in my summer food plots (beans, corn, milo, sunflower etc) Found this one in a near by town. Me or owner not sure what make or model.

What make and model is this?
Is it a good one?
What is it worth?

I don't know what it's worth but if I understand it right, farmers are now planting no-till crops meaning they don't use cultivators any longer. If that is true, I see a bunch of cultivators about to go cheap.

Did I assume this right? Are farmers phasing away from cultivating?

If so, and cultivators are going cheap, us 1 row garden guys could build 4 sets of 1 row rigs out of a 4 row and make some money.

The only agronomic crop that I still see being cultivated is tobacco.

Cultivating the major row crops (corn, soybeans, cotton) is largely a thing of the past -- it has been replaced by the use of herbicides and herbicide-tolerant crop varieties. This is true for conventional, no-till, strip-till, etc. production.

I just bought a JD RG40 (four row cultivator) for $375.00. It was already converted to a two row when I got it.

I have adjusted it to be a one row tiller on my 8N. WORKS GREAT!!!

Im wanting to use this for food plots and I would like to try to use very little if any chemical. Plus I like the tractor time. Owner is asking $650 for this. Seems a bit high. A buddy has offered to "give" me an AS NEW Glencoe. Will have to take a road trip to KS for it. What are your thoughts on Glencoe? thanks
