 cultivator, a seat fixed upon the rear end of 

 said frame, aud ccnnectious joining the oppo-

 with a pulley secured to the forward end of 

 said pivoted frame, and a chain or otherfiexi- 

 bie bond passing over said pulley aud fastened 

 at its ends to the plow-beams of the cultivator, 

 whereby the weight of the driver in said seat 

 shall support said plow -beams and permit 

 them unequal aud opposite vertical motion, as 

 set forth.

 frruno centrally pivoted to the axle or frame 

 thereof, and having n seat upon its rear end, 

 aud^uieans whereby the plow-hcnins arc sus 

 peuded from the front cnil of the said pixoted 

 frame, so that these jdoxv-beams shall conii-
