Hi. I'm Ted, from Everything Attachments. We're here to show you the Fred
Cane Field Cultivator. This is different than your regular garden
cultivator. This is really meant for fields, rough terrain, tearing down
plants or gardens that had grown; anything like that, or loosening up old
ground that's been really packed tight and you just want to rip it up.
These shanks here are really heavy-duty compared to a standard cultivator.
They're spring-loaded, so if you hit a really big rock, stump, or something
like that under it, they'll fold back and re-trip automatically without
having to tear anything up or replace anything. We're going to rip this
garden that's been fixed here, and it'll be going deep because it's in
pretty lose ground. Then we're going to rip a place over here beside, like
you would normally be in a hard field or something.
Through the garden here, where it's been cultivated and all, you probably
won't see any of the springs stretching or tripping because it's been
loosened up with the turning plow earlier. When we do over here beside us
in the really hard dirt, you probably will see them springing a little bit.
That levels everything out. You can take the center one out and cultivate
your crop like a cultivator. Then you can do a really rough field also.
OK. With a field cultivator using it in really hard ground, this is hard
clay, it's packed good, one thing, a field cultivator to really get it deep
like you think you want it, it takes a lot of horsepower to pull it. This
is a fairly lightweight tractor. This is a 7-shank gripper. If it's pulling
too hard and your tractor's spinning, what you can always do is drop off
the two outside rippers, whether you bought a 9, wanted to go to a 7.
Really, probably, this would pull a 5-shank with no problem as deep as you
want to go. We'll see what it does with a 7. If it pulled too hard, we
could simply take 2 of these shanks off. There's so many bolt holes in
here, you have almost an infinite amount of spacing to space them any way
you like.
OK, Peanut, give it a try on that hard ground. You can see the springs. I
see the tines coming back already between that wire grass and this hard red
clay that hasn't been broken. The springs are letting the tines come back a
little bit, just like if it were hitting a rock or something. Sometimes, it
takes 2 passes to get a really good broken ground in ground that's not been
broken. This is a good way to aerate your field, get it cultivated, and get
a lot of the trash out of it.
