Awhile back someone posted about leveling plowed ground and I mentioned using a Doo-All. That's the only name I know and tried to describe it. Well, I finally got a picture today when I was greasing it up and getting it ready.

It ain't much to look at but it makes a plowed field level enough to shoot marbles on. Manufactured by Forrest City in 1968. Bought it new then.

Why you little "WhipperSnapper"! :lol: :lol:

Sorry Mike - I was only 1 year old at the time myself! What's this tractor with a cab thing? Are we gettin' a little soft or what? :D

Chest and Drawers Disease.

Not soft. Just a little squishy. ;-)
 
Not born yet??? Holy cow, I've got a tractor that's as old as your daddy then. 1953 Ford NAA - gets used every hay season to pull the rake.

We still use a lot of Do-All's around rice country. I don't have one but wish I did. I have to go back over the field after discin' with a drag harrow to smooth mine out. Fine looking machine.

BB you are a puppy but wise beyond your years as you can see Crowder for what he really is. :tiphat:
 
Thank you for posting Mike. How deep do those tines in the front run? I was guesing about 4 to 6 inches. Those roller things must also go in about 4 inches?

The depth of the front sweeps depends on how much tractor you have. :lol: It will barely fit thru a 14' gate.

It can be raised or lowered with hydraulics and a shim placed on the cylinder rod will control depth.

I usually run it 2, 3 to 6 inches, depending on type of soil. Works good for incorporating chemicals also.

It does great at busting clods in prairie or red clay soil and makes a good firm seedbed. I pull a culti-packer behind the seeder that helps too.
 
Mike, it may have been made by Forrest City Machine Works in Forrest City AR.
I know they made a lot of Do-ALLS, i think there still in business.

It was made by them, but I thought they had gone under.

I'd like to borrow that. Looks handy.

Anytime JoGee, I only use it about 10 days per year. That would give you 355 days of usage. ;-)
