"Ring Blade" Cultivator

"Ring Blade" Cultivator CULTIVATORS Cultivators (58C) 28-1-16 A first-of-its-kind cultivator uses a series of rotating rings rather than teeth to root out weeds. Two rows of rings are placed at an angle so that the bottom edges of the rings cut into the soil. The first row has 2 1/2-ft. dia. rings, and the second row are a little under 2 ft. in height. Unlike traditional shank-type cultivators, the "ring blade" machine doesn't leave any grooves in the soil and it breaks up the soil so there are fewer clumps. There's a row of smaller rings at the back of the cultivator to smooth out and crush any remaining clumps of soil.
