Ride-Behind Cultivator

Ride-Behind Cultivator FARM HOME Miscellaneous Riding behind a 1951 David Bradley walk-behind cultivator Lonnie Smith and his son Jon can get around antique tractor farm shows with very little effort Lonnie used steel tubing to build a pair of 2-wheeled “sulky trailers” each with its own cast iron tractor seat and its own set of foot-operated paddle-type brakes The trailers can be used independently or hitched together The front trailer rides on big 12-in wheelbarrow wheels while the rear trailer rides on smaller 8-in wheels The front trailer hooks up to the David Bradley where a cultivator or other kinds of garden attachments would normally go “Jon likes driving it around at shows and even gives people rides Either driver can put the brakes on depending who feels it’s needed the most ” says Lonnie “The David Bradley is powered by a small Continental 2 hp gas engine but power isn’t a problem ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Lonnie Smith 4122 Mapleton Rd Baxter Minn 56425 ph 218 839-5567
