Tractor Drawn Cultivator

A) Trailed type cultivator:

• It consists of a main frame which carries a number of cross members to which tines are fitted.
• At the forward end of the cultivator, there is a hitch arrangement for hitching purpose.
• A pair of wheels are provided in the cultivator.
• The height of the hitch is adjusted so that main frame remains horizontal over a range of depth setting.
• The tines in each row are spaced widely to allow free passage of the soil and trash around them.
• The tines in subsequent rows are staggered so that the implement can cover the entire width nicely.

B) Mounted Cultivator:

• Tractors fitted with hydraulic lift operate the mounted type cultivators. A rectangular frame of angle iron is mounted on three-point hydraulic linkage of the tractor.
• The cross members carry the tines in two staggered lines.
