31-In Wide Cultivator Quick Sweep

31-In Wide Cultivator Quick Sweep CULTIVATORS Cultivators (58C) 18-2-13 "We think it's the best non-slabbing sweep on the market," says Fred Goertzen of Goertzen Manufacturing about his add on "Quick Sweep" that fits Orthman, Buffalo, Lilliston and other cultivators that have 1 by 3-in. shanks. In addition, Goertzen makes brackets to adapt the wide sweep to Deere 885 cultivators, Lorenze, and other curved shank cultivators. The new sweep blades range in size from 17 to 31 in. wide, and Goertzen also provides replacement chrome points as well as a ridging wing that mounts above the sweep with just a single bolt. The ridging wing can be adjusted for any row width. "This sweep doesn't slab and it also doesn't boil the soil like conventional sweeps. Soil flows over it and then rolls evenly and gently around the plant," notes Goertzen. The sweep is priced at $109 with 17-in. blades. The ridging wing is $55. Brack T ets for Deere 885 and other curved shank cultivators are $70. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Fred Goertzen, Goertzen Mfg., 1508 W 7 RD, Aurora, Neb. 68818 (ph 402 694-3089).
