Specification

Usage of a Cultivator

1. Soil Tillage:
   • Breaks up compacted soil and mixes organic matter to improve soil aeration and water infiltration.
2. Weed Control:
   • Helps in controlling weeds by uprooting and burying them, preventing their growth.
3. Seedbed Preparation:
   • Creates a fine seedbed for planting seeds and enhances seed-to-soil contact for better germination.
4. Soil Mixing:
   • Incorporates fertilizers and organic matter into the soil, improving soil fertility.
5. Post-Harvest Residue Management:
   • Chops and incorporates leftover crop residues (like stubble) into the soil, adding nutrients back to the land.

Working Process

1. Attachment:
   • The cultivator is usually attached to a tractor using a 3-point linkage system. It may be powered by the tractor’s PTO (Power Take-Off).
2. Preparation:
   • Clear the field of large rocks, weeds, and debris that could damage the machine or hinder operation.
3. Operation:
   • The rotating tines or blades of the cultivator dig into the soil, breaking up clumps and mixing it to create an even, loose soil structure.
   • Adjust the working depth and speed depending on the soil condition.
4. Adjustments:
   • Depending on the cultivator model, the depth and width of operation can be adjusted to suit different soil types and conditions.
5. Post-Operation:
   • Inspect the field for uniformity. You may need to make additional passes to achieve the desired seedbed quality.
