Never knew this existed! I would love to own one! I would even let Larry drive! Anybody got one in a fence row??

Wow. That's cool. It took me a minute to figure out why there was a passenger operator!

I imagine that would be slow going. And very boring! But if you want one, i am sure between us we could build one.

I doubt it being IHC

Probably there to uncover plants that were covered up. That was my job on our old Allis B.

You got a picture. Make one.

Anything is possible ......... the impossible just takes a little longer.

Lots of attachments were made for those tractors it would be hard to guess just how many

gene bender · Feb 9, 2023

maybe it had the HOWARD gearbox on the final to make it go slow some Cubs even had two of the one on each side that would really slow it down

I spent many an hour on one of those rear seats. Certainly made hand hoeing easier and faster. Worked good on wide spaced plants such as tomatoes and the type of tobacco that my father grew where the plants were 2' or more apart. We would cultivate with the Farmall Super A with the wiggle hoe attachment and then go through on foot hand hoeing around each plant, usually twice in the early season. Those attachments were quite common in our area. We had the hoes as pictured, as well as a set of knives that would interchange, depending on the weeds and soil conditions. Some in our neighborhood had Allis G's set up with foot steering so one person could both drive and run the wiggle hoe. The BTOs at the time had 2 row cultivators with 2 of those on the back!

There's bound to be one of those down in South Jersey vegetable country yet.

I'm thinking it is rare because it did not work very well.
To much room for error and to much concertation needed to make it work properly.
A piece of dust flies up on your face and you will be digging up plants in the time it takes to wipe it away with your hand.

You and Larry could tag team digging turnips

Better than riding this.

On the other hand, it used to take one man and a mule.
The Cub one takes 2 men and a tractor.

Beats being on the end of a hoe for 10 hours.

The single row cultivators ALWAYS took 2 horses, NO mules ever around this area. You could not have a single animal pulling one because it would be tromping down the crop you were trying to cultivate walking on top of the single row, always 2 horses to walk beside the row one on each side. I have friends that still use them all the time.

GP,
This site might have more Cub implements you have never seen.

That Wig!e hoe was made by Ausco (Auto Specialties Company)
Benton Harbor, MI.
Their specialty was making small stuff for the auto industry.
Mainly screw jacks and bumper jacks.
