Cultivator Plough
A spring-tooth harrow is a type of cultivator or harrow commonly used in agriculture for soil preparation. It consists of multiple flexible, spring-like teeth or tines arranged in a row. Each tooth is typically pointed and designed to penetrate the soil as the harrow is pulled over the field. The flexibility of the teeth allows them to adjust to the contours of the terrain.
Here are some key features and uses of a spring-tooth harrow:
- Soil Penetration: The pointed teeth of the harrow penetrate the soil, breaking up clods and helping to prepare the seedbed.
- Weed Control: Spring-tooth harrows are effective for uprooting and controlling weeds in the early stages of crop growth.
- Leveling: They can be used to level the soil surface by breaking up high spots and filling in low spots.
- Aeration: The action of the spring-tooth harrow helps to aerate the soil by creating channels for air and water movement.
- Seedbed Preparation: Farmers often use spring-tooth harrows for preparing the soil before planting crops. The implement helps create a loose and friable seedbed.
- Surface Residue Management: It can also be used to incorporate crop residue into the soil, improving decomposition.
- Adjustable Depth: Many spring-tooth harrows come with an adjustable depth control feature, allowing farmers to customize the depth of soil penetration based on their specific needs.
The term “spring-tooth” refers to the fact that the harrow’s teeth are often attached to the frame with spring mechanisms, providing flexibility and allowing them to move independently. This flexibility prevents the teeth from getting stuck or damaged in uneven or rocky soil. Spring-tooth harrows are part of the larger category of harrows, which includes various implements designed for soil cultivation and preparation.
