It is a tractor-mounted implement and consists of mainframe made of box section, rigid tines, Uclamps and shovels. The clamping of tines makes possible to adjust the distance between them according to crop rows. The shovels are made from medium carbon steel or low alloy steel, hardened and tempered to suitable hardness. The shovels are mounted on the tynes with fasteners and can be replaced easily on wearing or becoming dull. The depth of operation is controlled by the hydraulic system of the tractor. The shovels can be replaced by duck foot sweeps for shallow tillage. |
