What is a cultivator (tillage tool)?

A frame carries rows of spring-loaded or rigid tines with replaceable points that dig into the soil as the tractor pulls it. The tines loosen the soil to depth and uproot weeds, and the spacing and depth can be adjusted. Cultivators are used for secondary tillage after ploughing and for weed control between crop rows, and come in mounted and trailed forms.

Cultivator (Tillage Tool) or rotavator?

A cultivator loosens soil with tines, uses less power and works well for weed control and stubble. A rotavator spins blades that cut and mix the soil to a fine seedbed in one pass, but needs more power.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a cultivator and a plough?

A plough cuts and turns over a slice of soil to bury residue and weeds. A cultivator loosens and stirs the soil without turning it, which is faster and needs less power.

How do I choose spring tines or rigid tines?

Spring tines flex over stones and roots and reduce breakage, which suits stony or hard soils. Rigid tines penetrate well in loose soil. Choose by your soil and conditions.

Why do tine points wear out?

They cut abrasive soil all day. Hardened points last longer, and replacing them in time keeps the implement working well.

What tractor power do I need?

It depends on the width, depth and soil. Use the maker’s recommended tractor power range for the model, and choose a width that your tractor handles easily.
