[AJD] Listed Crop Cultivator

[Dean VP]

Don:

I now have three single front wheel tractors and never have been out in the
field doing real work with them. I do know they sure turn easier. My guess
is though that in loose or plowed ground that brakes would need to be used
more than even on a tricycle. 

I'm glad you mentioned that single wheeled tractors were used in the
furrows. That was my understanding of what vegetable tractors (or High
Clearance tractors) were all about. However, my 1958 JD 620 Gas is
configured as a High Clearance tractor with a WFE. Seems like a bit of an
oxymoron!

It really was not that hard to keep the tractor on the ridge.  I'm talking
about the tricycle type tractors with the two front wheels.  I believe the
single front wheel tractors were for when one planted on the ridge and drove
in the furrows. I have my first single front wheel tractor, a JD 620LP,
never have worked the field with one of these.

As a teenage boy I cultivated a lot of corn but not listed corn.  After the
noon meal when the weather was hot and humid, it was difficult to stay awake
on the slow moving tractor. Occasionally a few stalks of corn would get
plowed under. I would think that it would really be a challenge to stay on
top of the ridge at all times. Maybe those who drove listed corn cultivators
got home on time the night before!  :-)

Take a look at the following:

This is what I remember a two row lister looked like.  Planted the seed in
the bottom of the row.  Tractors ran on the top of the row to cultivate.

Ok as a non-farmer lurker on this list, I had to see what a Lister was. Just
before Terry's pictures came in I found this site which is pretty good at
explaining to me what one is.
http://www.livinghistoryfarm.org/farminginthe30s/machines_07.html I can only
barely remember the implements that went on my grandmother's 36 F12, and if
I recall they seemed have seats right on the implements. I can only assume
that they were initially for horse drawn use.
