ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a wavy coulter having a plurality of waves, each wave defined by a crest and an adjacent valley. Each crest and valley extends back from the peripheral edge of the coulter in respective adjacent lines disposed at a predetermined acute angle with respect to the radius of the coulter body. The coulter is mounted on an implement time such that a leading peripheral edge of the coulter rotates in a downward direction as it enters the soil, and the lines of each crest and valley enter the soil at a nearly vertical orientation. A uniform narrow band of fractured soil is, thus, prepared by the coulter since soil compaction is minimized.
