Gav836 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Thats a ridging body to fit a Howard Gem rotorvator, i used to own one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Unsure if it is for Howard Gem , looks more like one used on Howard 350 rotovator Ok at least we agree on the Howard rotorvator bit :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Yes Gav , almost certainly Ridger for some model of Howard Rotovator ** Rotovator is a 9 letter palindrome ( reads same forwards as backwards ) A small snippet of useless information Really......

archbarch Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 it could be from a johnson potato planter however there is no means of adjusting the boards which every planter has, that ive used or seen anyway. all that said years ago potatoes were always ridged up after planting.
