My father has been on me to help him for the past month to rescue a cultivator. He is an avid collector (at least that's what he calls it) but I see a program on TV that claims he's a horder...Any way he found a 4 row cultivator made by Allis Chalmers that fits a WD or a WD45 and had to have it. The only problem is that several mulberry trees decided that they too were collectors. I did my best to avoid this but I finally gave in so yesterday after church we traveled the 12 miles north to the fence row to claim his prize. All I can say is holy crap is his disease in an advanced state. We (I) cut for 5 hours on this little grove of mulberry trees called a 4 row cultivator and we are still not free. It amazed me that this tree could grow around this piece of junk with such vengence. I was as careful as I could be but hit steel and dulled 4 different chains...Before we left the house I did promise Dad that even if I thought it was the dumbest idea in the world I'd keep my opinion to myself as he thought it was an important piece...Next time no promises!!!
I do have to admit it was fun to see the old guy act like it was Christmas morning. He doesn't have much so spending time with him being excited was more than fair payment for the crappy work...He will also have some firewood for the stove when it gets seasoned.
I will post pictures when he gets them emailed to me...he was all over the camera to tell you how excited he was...
