Rocky Mtn. Cubfest

[Bob McCarty]

It's not too early to start planning your fall vacation to Colorado! The Cubfest will be Sept. 11-12, although I know there will be a few early arrivals. Sight see on the way here or on the way home. Hope you can make it.

Hope to make it this year but not sure just yet. Planning on bringing wife, daughter and son-in-law if everything falls in line.

Maybe I can find out what they call a "Side Har" in Colorado.

[Bob McCarty]

Glenn, I'm not familiar with that term. Where did you hear it?

In order to understand my question a short story is needed. When I was growing up my dad had one set of cultivators for the Cub that he used for almost everything in the garden after it was planted. Since I got the Cub a couple of years ago I have been looking for a set of these cultivators but I didn’t know what they were called so it was hard to ask about them. At the LA CubFest in March I saw them on one of Buddy’s tractors and I asked Mr. E what they were called. He didn’t know but eventually we found a couple of local gentlemen that did. They said it was a “Side Har” (Rhymes with ARE spoken from deep in the throat). At first we didn’t understand what they were saying but after a few trys we got it. They even had us practice saying it correctly a few times and I am not sure we ever got it right. One of the gentlemen finally said the correct name might be Side Harrow but that everyone in that part of the country called them Side Har. They then took us on a tour around Buddy’s scrap piles and pointed out several different types of Side Hars, what each was used for, and how to setup and use each one. All of this lasted about an hour and at the end Mr. E and I could not understand how either of us had managed to live so long with owning these cultivators. Later Mr E spotted a set of them, almost complete, for sale on a trailer at the Cubfest. He graciously pointed them out to me and offered me first opportunity to buy them which I did.
Below are a couple of pictures of the Side Hars on Buddy’s tractor and the ones I bought. The first picture is of the ones on the tractor and the second 2 are the ones I bought.

Sometimes you just hate being a Southern Gentleman! I could have been a little devious and owned that nice set!!

But I'm still looking.

Glenn, When you and Roy get here, you have my permission to call them whatever you want to.

I'm just not far enough South I guess, I have a set which I call them spring tooth cultivator.

My wife Billie and I should be arriving at Denver Airport today around 2:00 PM. Looking forward to seeing friends who I already know and others that I will get to know.

Daughter and son in law have moved into our house for the week. We will be headed out shortly with an empty trailer and a finely tuned Cub Locator. See you all tomorrow afternoon. Safe drively everybody.

Arrived in Longmont last night and woke up to a cool 60 degrees and a view of the Rockies. What a great location for a CubFest.
