Hi-
We’re building up our horse equipment and were wondering about fair prices on riding cultivators, specifically IH and McCormick Deerings.
Thanks!

September 1, 2016 at 10:43 am #89363jpaviemoreParticipantThanks, Mike! I’ve found not too far from me that seems to be in good shape, with a steel tongue and eveners, for 350. Trying to decide if I want to buy it–first one I’ve seen come up close to me that’s all there.
September 1, 2016 at 10:09 pm #89366dominiquer60ModeratorA brand new one from Crossroads will cost you $1,800 (all new parts). I purchased mine for $175 in barely used shape, it was a find. Crossroads will pay $200 to $250 for a “parts” quality machine, so $350 and ready to use is reasonable for sure.
September 2, 2016 at 10:47 pm #89368JayParticipantI second Erika’s comment above. Jay
September 3, 2016 at 4:18 pm #89369Mike RockParticipantYup, for that price you are good to go!
September 3, 2016 at 4:20 pm #89370jpaviemoreParticipantThanks for all the help! I talked the fella down to 300 and will bring it home early next week. Thanks again!
September 3, 2016 at 9:08 pm #89371Mike RockParticipantPhotos! Remember, without photos it’s just a story!!
Good deal for you. When you get the points scoured, remember to coat them with grease for next season. Sometimes cultivators are hard to scour…..September 5, 2016 at 11:44 am #89372jpaviemoreParticipantYou bet, Mike! Here are some photos–we just brought it home this morning. I attached a photo of the serial number as well–I’m trying to figure out exactly which model it is. I think it’s the MD New 4, but I’m not 100% sure (still very new to all the draft powered world).

Grease it up and go. Small Farmers Journal offers reprints of the manual, it is worth the $15 bucks, then if you need a part you know the name and number so when you call up Jonathan at Crossroads, he can ship a replacement right out to you.
