What does a spade cultivator do?
Cultivating is the operation most farms run more often than any other. After ploughing has opened the ground, the cultivator breaks remaining clods, mixes the top layer, and levels enough that a drill can work accurately. Its spade-shaped tines lift and turn soil more thoroughly than a plain tine while still pulling easily.
It also does real weed work. Running a cultivator through emerging weeds severs and buries them before they set seed, which reduces herbicide dependence — increasingly valuable as resistance builds and chemical costs rise.
Being simple, it is cheap to run and easy to maintain. There are no bearings, no driven parts and no timing to set; tines are bolted on and replaced individually as they wear. For most farms it is the implement that accumulates the most hours per season.

- Time weeding passes to when weeds are small — a cultivator kills seedlings easily and established weeds poorly.
- Tines are individually replaceable; swap worn ones rather than running the whole set down.
- Working too deep wastes fuel and dries the seedbed out; secondary tillage should stay shallow.
