New Refit Kit For Row Crop Cultivators

New Refit Kit For Row Crop Cultivators CULTIVATORS Cultivators (58C) 6-6-4 "There are thousands of old cultivators sitting around unused," says John Remlinger, president of Remlinger Manufacturing Co., Kalida, Ohio, maker of a new conversion kit for "old-style" row crop cultivators. Most cultivators 10 years old or older, the company explains, are outfitted with old-style rigid shanks. "They can't match up against S-tine shanks, which let you travel faster and vibrate for a better weed kill. Our conversion kit lets you build a cultivator as good as any now on the market," explains Remlinger. To convert most cultivators, you simply remove the old gang frame and replace it with the new Remlinger Danish tine gang with just two bolts. Kits are available to fit most John Deere and International Harvester cultivators and can be fitted to most other cultivators. All are painted to match the colors of the original machine. The new units feature adjustable cross bars for different row widths, and have a depth-adjustable rear shank for varying soil and weed conditions. Both 3-shank and 5-shank units are available with 2 1/2 or 4-in. duckfoot sweeps, or 7-in. sweep shovels. The new row conversion kit sells for $167 per row.
