ABSTRACT:
A cultivator implement has two rows of freely rotatable, tined soil-working members connected to leading and rear transverse frame beams by respective brackets or plates. Each rotatable member is mounted for rotation on a corresponding stub shaft that defines its axis of rotation, which is inclined to the vertical. Pairs of downwardly extending tines that are secured in respective holders around the axis of rotation, contact the ground and rotate each member. A first row of rotatable members have axes inclined to one side of the vertical and a second row of rotatable members have axes inclined to the opposite side of the vertical. A fixed cultivator tine is deflectably secured to the beams via an integral spring coil assembly. The cultivator tines are positioned non centrally between adjacent rotary members and each tine is curved so that its lower tip extends forwardly. The cultivator tines of the first row work soil in advance of the rotatable members of the second row and the rotatable members of the first row work soil in advance of the cultivator tines of the second row to finely crumble and uniformly distribute soil. A further soil-working member is positioned to the rear of the rows and is vertically adjustable on arms connected to the ends of the beams.
