953 nut 55,188 #1 Posted April 5 Motor Macultivator the Motor Macultivator is a two-wheeled Garden tractor that was produced in the early 1920s Macultivator This article was published in 1922 in The Florists’ Review A light power cultivator which stresses its specialized design and construction is the Motor Macultivator, manufactured at Toledo, O., by the Motor Macultivator Co. This machine . turns in a radius of thirty five inches, is light and powerful, and because of patented features gives an unusually wide range of tool placement at the option of the operator. The tool adjustment on the Motor Macultivator enables the operator to regulate width, depth and cutting angle of the tools in use. A special device on this machine enables the operator to raise the tools from the ground without lifting the machine. It cultivates from one-quarter inch to four inches in depth, one or two rows at a time, and, it is said, gets up within a half inch of plants. It will straddle the rows or work between them, as the operator may desire. Vegetable growers have found this machine generally useful. In the Motor Macultivator the crank case and main frame are cast in one piece. There are few parts and these easily accessible. Its low center of gravity permits it to work on uneven surfaces or sharp inclines without danger of overturning. Left-hand clutch and right-hand throttle are controlled from the hand grips. The lubrication system consists of five grease cups; no oil can is needed. The motor is a one- cylinder, four-cycle motor. The drive wheel diameter is nineteen and one-half inches, width over all seventeen and one-half inches, height thirty-two inches, length fifty-four inches, clearance nine inches, weight 210 pounds. The Motor Macultivator is readily converted into a power lawn mower by the use of an inexpensive attachment that is adaptable to practically any lawn mower or cutting unit now in the market.
