Spring tine or duckfoot
Spring tines vibrate and shatter the clods, giving way on obstacles without breaking. Duckfoot shares cut horizontally and are the most effective against weeds.
When to use it
After ploughing or subsoiling, to work the soil down before sowing or planting out, and during the season to keep the ground free of weeds.
Width and power
A working width close to the tractor's track width saves going back over the wheel marks; the wider it is, the more power you need.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between spring tine and duckfoot?
A spring tine cultivator breaks up and aerates the soil; a duckfoot cultivator cuts the weeds below the surface.

On ground that's already been worked, yes; on grassland or compacted ground you need the plough or the subsoiler first.
Will it suit my 20 hp tractor?
Yes, if 20 hp falls within the horsepower range on the listing and the linkage is the right category.
How do I set the depth?
With the linkage and the top link; two steel depth wheels are available as an option.
