[Farmall] subsoiler

[John Hall]

Dad has a single shank tow type IHC sub-soiler. To the best of my knowledge 
it is not in the 150yrs of IHC book. They used to pull it with M's and an 
ID-6. We have pulled it with a JD 4020 and actually stopped it.

Never seen another one and couldn't tell you what they sell for though.
