Crawfordsville, Arkansas
I'm 30 miles from where Forrest City's machine shop was. I bet I could count on one hand the number of Forrest City do-alls in my area and have 3 or 4 fingers left over. A CaseIH 568 is a much better piece of equipment.

I can't speak for all southerners who own do alls but we use ours to slick up a field for planting or drilling. Usually run behind a disk or field cultivator. There's no real need for front shanks stirring up clods just so the chopper and harrow has to beat them back down. Honestly I don't know of one do-all with shanks on it in my area and I'm in an area where EVERY farm has a do-all. We had 2 actually until a month ago when I got tired of looking at it and moving it around every time we mowed grass. Kept the better one and sold the other to a friend for $1,000. It was a 25' CaseIH 568. Needed a few parts but was usable like it was.
