Eastern VA. No such thing as too many Magnums. | I had a bunch of requests for pictures of the Lilliston Cultivators. I finally took some while we were plowing the weeds out of the fall broccoli this week. This one is a hodge-podge of a bunch of different old used units I put on an old IH 800 planter toolbar. This is now a ten row 36" machine. Had to adapt it because original 4 and 6 row machines were on 3 1/2" diamond bars. Newer ones would have fit the 7x7 bar. They are the cats meow for working beds on sandy ground. I think they would build good strips too. It's a very adaptable machine with pretty much infinite adjustment. These things are everywhere in the southeast. They were really popular in tobacco, peanuts, and cotton. KMC and Lilliston offer them. You can get 4 row machines at auctions for $50, but then usually need to go to Agri-Supply and buy new spider gangs. Here are some pics.
