USE The Dearborn Field CULTIVATOR Here Is the field fool of many uses! Attached to the Ford Traetoe in * minute or less and lifted, lowered and set for working depth by Hydraulic Touch Control, it tills, fallows or mulches at any depth to 12 inches. Because the shanks are narrow, the Feld Cultivator can be used as a subsoller, to break up plow pan. and for renovating pastures it is ideal. Moisture and plant food can be incorporated into the soil at the root level, while leaving the grass In good condition. Points are available for killing quack grass, Johnson grass and other weed peats. More and more farmers use’the Field Cultivator for loosening the soil with greater speed and for leaving some trash on the surface to retard wind or rain erosion. In stony or root tilted land, the spring releases on each shank permit the points to pass up and over obstructions and automatically reset without damage. This safety feature, plus sturdy quality throughout, assures you many years of satisfaction from this highly practical implement. Get Your Wheat Ground Ready Quicker and Better Riehle Tractor & Impl.
