ABSTRACT:
A cultivating machine has an elongated cultivating member that is rotatably mounted to turn about a horizontal axis that extends transverse to the direction of normal travel. A plurality of tined soil cultivating means is mounted on a support shaft of the member and that shaft defines the horizontal axis of rotation. Each cultivating means comprises a group of tines that is freely rotatable about a corresponding axis of rotation. The axes of rotation of the cultivating means non-perpendicularly intersect the shaft and are formed by stub shafts that are journalled on brackets fastened to the shaft. Upon rotation of the cultivating member about the shaft, the tines of successive cultivating means engage the ground and the cultivating means each rotate to work a broad path of soil. The group of tines extend at angles to the axis of rotation of each cultivating means and twos of the cultivating means are mounted in opposing pairs that are offset with respect to adjacent pairs. A trailing soil working roller is adjustably connected to the frame to vary the working depth of the tines.
