I haven't done much digging on this tractor (no pun intended) but it's new to me and pretty cool.

That is a Howard Rotovator. They were English built.

Wow, did it ever come with any other attachments or was it just a cultivator? That's a beast for sure.

Sorry guys, I should have been clearer when I said "new to me". I just ran across it on Craigslist and had never seen one before so it was "new to me". Note to self....be more clear. I wish I had the time and money to make a purchase and do a restoration. Thanks for all the feedback.

Might you have pictures of what yours looked like? Did it come with any other implements? I'm guessing nothing stopped it!

It was basically a rear tine tiller.

So is it a right-hand drive machine?

Love the bandana in one of the pics above. Thanks for the pics. That looks like it could churn up some dirt for sure.
