Hi

I want to do the M4 (Baldwin)one, in one pic - http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:M4_Abrams.jpg
the tank appears to wear some kind of cullin device.
So, any clue which one?

Cullin Hedgerow Cutter/T-Bar Teeth ?
Cullin Hedgerow Cutter / Angle Iron?
Cullin Hedgerow Cutter/I-Beam Teeth?

TIA
Regards, Alvaro

Here's another tank from the same unit, near Chateau-Salins in Lorraine in September 1944 (same area for the picture you've found). Maybe the cutter is the same as well :

To me, it looks like the 'spade' type that's provided in the Tasca M4A1 kit.

That's based solely on that single picture and no other background.

Hello Alvaro,

Gives a little history on how the Culin hedgerow cutter came about.

Enjoy.

Thanks Henri, Jesse and Brian for the data and pics.

Looking the other tank, the triangle at the right side appears to be the same type.

Here some choices
