A Cultivator for Forest Forest Tree Nurseries
A between-row cultivator for tree nurseries has been developed and tested, following an original suggestion from Lee Mason, Unit Nurseryman for the Coeur d' Alene National Forest. The cultivator (fig. 1) mounts on the front toolbar of tractors. Power is supplied by a hydraulic pump that can be driven by a tractor engine or power takeoff. The various system components are located in figure 2. Power from the hydraulic pump drives a Char-Lynn #AC hydraulic orbit motor. This motor drives a shaft upon which several cultivating sections are mounted. The number and spacing of cultivating sections can be varied with the number of rows in each bed. Cultivators for eight-row and six-row beds have been fabricated.
