| There is a AC 1300 field cultivator coming up on a sale. I don't know anything about them. Any info would be appreciated. Do they do a good job? What wears out? I'm looking for one for my D-21. I don't want to put duals on it. This is a 23' I thought it would be about the right size. |

It's not a heavy duty FC but it makes a great finishing tool with a mulcher mounted on the back. I have an 18-1/2' 1200 and it's about perfect for the 190XT with no duals. I'm sure the 190 would pull a slightly bigger one but this way I know we're not mistreating the old girl. The only thing we've ever had go wrong was twice, when putting it all the way in as deep as it would go, we've bent a couple of shanks when they hooked a rock just right. In hindsight, there's no reason to sink it all the way in since we chisel or plow the ground in the fall anyhow. The rubber mounted shanks really are great and never wears out the rubber. We've been using ours since the mid 1980's and other than shovels and those two shanks and an occasional hydraulic hose, that's all we've ever done to it. Oh, I did rip one of the cylinder mounts off it the very first time I hooked it up to a 7000 series. I learned to turn the flow down to the remotes after that. It's unbelievable the hydraulics of a 7000 series when you were used to an old 190.

I bought a D-17 Series 111 on a sale 4 years ago. there was one on the sale and now that you mention it I remember those rubber bushings. The AC guys talked favorably about it. I will only be running 4 to 5" deep. I just want to go out and enjoy a day or 2 of spring field work but I will be on one of my customers ground so has to do a good job. Thanks for the reply |

I watched one sell this fall on auction for around $1500.....way higher than I thought it would go since this isn't really Allis country.... ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |

I bought a 24.5' 1300 new in 1977 and pulled it with my D-21 ll with duals back then. This spring it will go to the field for the 40th consecutive year. In the past there were years that it cultivated more than 1000 ac in a year. All original rubber mounts and shanks except for 3 that got bent on rocks. I use it now as a finishing cultivator with a double rolling crumbler and buster levelling bar mounted on the back. Trussed the frame a little to take the extra weight on the rear. MOST IMPORTANT thing to do is to lift it when your turn. Not a lot of clearance. Finally found a 1400 the same width for the first pass. Will hook a D-21 to the 1300 and a 220 to the 1400 this spring. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

| Calvin Schmidt, how did your 220 handle the 24.5' 1400? |

My 220 handles the 1400 In 5th gear with no problem. I may have to qualify my answer a little. My 220 has 20.8 x 38 radial duals with 3000 lbs of inside weights and Mexican hat duals. It weighs 17,300 lbs. It also has an industrial intercooled engine that dynos 190 hp without touching the injector pump.

| We pulled a 33' with r 7580 for years and a 24' with r 7030 for years,, no problems except for breaking a couple shanks over the 20 plus years we used them. They were a really popular field cultivator in r area just about everybody had an A-C cultivator even the green and red guys. We still have the 33ft- I believe it's a 1350,, it hasn't left the building for quite a few years. We bought a new Klonskilde about 10 years ago,, handles the residue a little better |

| There were a lot sold in the 1970-1980's, as stated even the guys with red, green, and blue had an orange field cultivator. Very good product for their time. |

I bought a set of weights that had all been on a D-21 (hard to believe) 2- 1500 lbs inside weights and 2- 1100 lbs outside weights. The 220 has the 1500# inside weights. I was getting it ready to pull a deep ripper but then bought another tractor with MFD.
