- Go look at 2009 corn harvest to see how we harvest our corn.
- This is field corn, and we do use chemical herbicide to an extant however we feel that the practice of cultivating (in wide rows) is beneficial
- Field corn or sweet corn.  Chemicals have replaced most of the cultivators.
- Excellent video of a lost art. Our part of the county grows crops on a contour so no straight rows. Plus point rows to clean up. For all the video work I am very empressed with you only getting into the corn for short time. I used to run a front mount on a 4020 back in high school mid 90s for a neighbor . If you watched the cultivators going thru the cotton it would put u in a trance haha. Thanks for keeping this type of farming alive!!!!!
- what is the row spacing?
- I really like the way you're working this field. Good job! I like the condition of the cultivators too, shields in place.
- More please
- Southwest Michigan, around 1st week in April my buddy and I have a plow day
- where are you located?
- Bigger farmers would have just sprayed for weeds and call it done.  I think this video is great.  Cultivation like this is a thing of the past but I noticed that the two young farmers on the Youtube channel "How Farms Work" used a cultivator this year.
- american T-16 :D
- Lol I remember my dad sticking me in the sewing all day when I was 10 years old going the same thing but with a 656 . With that tractor we also had a high lift in a corn picker to mount on it
- nice job
- Thanks for all of your comments unfortunately we do not have the fertilizer applicator. I really enjoy being able to use the 50 for cultivating it keeps our 630 open for cutting hay. Hopefully this spring I will have more videos of two cylinder farming. I have been urging my dad to look into buying some new Gen tractors and implements to cover the new ground we have been picking up, but I could never replace our two cylinders.
- My grandfather had a 50 and she was just used for transplanting 4 rows at a time. The 60 and 520 were cultivating tractors and my grandfather seems to remember cultivating better than anything else. Still have our 60 but she's rusting away in the fencerow and I would like to restore it someday. Your 50 sounds good, keep her running. 
- Hi do you have a video of a 4 row cultivator with fertilizer applicator . My Dad imported a John Deere 70 row crop tractor  gasoline only with a 4 row cultivator when he farmed in Zambia ( Africa ) I still have it .
- Nice video.  I have a 60 I used with a No. 40 cultivator.  I don't think a little 50 would have done a good job in my heavier, hillier ground.  I'm now 6r30 with an FM cultivator on a 4430, but I'd like to find a 1955 70 to put a 6row Big 60 on...

The 60 now mostly pulls an auger wagon, hauling chicken feed.

Keep farmin'
- My dad was 23 in 1954 and bought a 4 row planter and a JD 60 that year.  He said the marker arm seemed so far out with a 4 row.  He had used a 2 row planter with a team of horses to plant before that. IH H for tillage. He farmed 240 acres with that equipment and fed cattle. Said that 60 worked circles around that H. Still got the 60, still got Dad too!
