DIY cultivator selection
For a complete picture of what awaits you after you decide to make a motor cultivator with your own hands, you can watch the video compilation with a homemade unit.
Grousers for a homemade motor cultivator
Our cultivator has to ride somehow. Select the wheels you want. Remember that small wheels will get stuck in the ground and interfere with your work. Too large wheels will be difficult for a homemade cultivator to turn. The selected wheels are fixed on steel corners, which are placed on the gear housing. Attaching the wheels to your homemade gear is not all. Secure the lugs to the wheels. With the help of them, the cultivator will better bite into the ground..
Take car springs or just corners and cut out the hooks of the desired diameter from them. For maximum effect, set the hook angle to 120 °.
When you finish the work with the connection of all the parts, you will be able to use your own hand-made cultivator for several years. If you want the machine to simply smash the whole earth into large chunks, you will need to go with it quickly. The lower speed of the passage grinds the earth into the smallest particles – it all depends on the speed of work with the cultivator. Before using it, lubricate the shaft of the mechanism with oil so that the homemade product will last longer without breakdowns..
By the same principle, you can also take an engine from a washing machine for a homemade cultivator. Disassemble the children’s bike and fit the sprockets and bicycle chain to your unit. As a result, you will get such a self-made electric cultivator. True, if you decide to make this unit with your own hands, keep in mind that the wire will constantly get tangled under your feet and interfere. Due to the fact that the power supply of the mechanism depends on the network and the cable, you will not go further than its length will allow.
Do-it-yourself cultivator
Let’s say you have a land parcel. You want to cultivate it with a cultivator that you don’t have. Otherwise, you just wouldn’t have come here. You probably want to make such a unit yourself for some reason you know, whether it’s a lack of money for a factory motor-cultivator, or just an interest in making such a machine yourself. In this case, you are lucky, if you have a 1.5-2 kW electric motor, a gearbox, then you can easily make a cultivator with your own hands in just a day..
DIY motor cultivator: where to start and how to make
The main parts of a homemade motor-cultivator are a gearbox and an engine. First of all, we make the frame of the future cultivator, drill holes for installing the main units, and make handles for controlling the unit from two curved pipes with a diameter of 32 mm. Between the self-made handles, it is necessary to put another pipe, which will be like a spacer for us, increasing the strength of the structure. We will subsequently install a start button to one of the handles..
For the manufacture of the shaft, I used unnecessary scrap, welded an asterisk to it from the camshaft of a VAZ engine, and scalded the chain and both sprockets with metal making a cover.
I connected the three-phase motor according to the standard “triangle” scheme, place the capacitor starter button on the handle to make it more convenient.
How to make a cultivator with your own hands: simpler options
There is such a cultivator – “Nimble kid”. Let’s see how you can make one at home..
Take the wooden axle. It will become the connector for the rest of the parts. On this axis it is necessary to fix a pipe 24 mm in diameter. It will serve as a handle, therefore, in order not to bend into three deaths, choose the length of the pipe for your height.
Attach wheels with a diameter of not more than 200 mm to the axle mentioned. the cultivator will rest on wheels, the height of the tool above the ground depends on the height of the wheels that we have adapted to it. By the way, the wheels need to be cut out of metal 2-3 mm in thickness. After you have connected all of the above, you can work on the ground.
The word cultivator does not only mean motor units. You can also use hand tools in your country house. It is much better than a standard boot and is much easier to make at home than a motorized cultivator. Have you heard of the Tornado cultivator? It looks like a defective pitchfork.
Homemade cultivator “Tornado”
Tornadoes are easy to use thanks to a lever that the operator grabs onto when rolling the cultivator into the ground. For the lever, we need a pipe, which we need to attach to the handle. The pipe should be 50 cm in length. For fastening, you can take electrical tape. As a pipe, you can use the handle on the handle, which is usually equipped with shovels. Such a lever will protrude 25 cm to either side of the handle..
You can make a Tornado cultivator out of springy steel. We take a plate half a meter long, 1-1.5 mm in thickness and 2 in width. Bend the steel, make a loop out of it, which you put on the handle. Watch the height of the cutting. It is important to observe the diameter of the resulting loop – it should not be more than 20 cm in diameter in order to freely enter the aisles.
There is another version of the cultivator – rotary disc cultivator. We just warn you that you will need to exert a lot of physical strength to make the desired convex discs. place regular metal discs and hit them with a hammer. In the process, they should become bowl-shaped..
The main part of the mechanism, namely the discs, we put on the bushing, which we attach to the axle. We attach both ends of the axle with cotter pins on a large bracket.
On the large bracket we make a hole where we insert a pipe with handles and a crossbar between them.
Place the rod on the small bracket using a welding machine. It should be 24 mm in diameter and 25 cm in length. Then screw the 16-diametrical rod into the stem.
The main stages of creating a cultivator and the importance of their indispensable observance
How to assemble a cultivator on a tiller with your own hands? This lesson is quite simple for those who have the skills to work with similar devices and understand their design. To further simplify the work, there is a certain structure, implying a breakdown of the entire process into certain stages, different in their purpose and functional performance. These subsections look as follows and characterize the entire procedure for creating a device in the best possible way:
- drawing up a plan for the future device;
- collection of the necessary tools;
- assembly of the device.
A home-made cultivator, assembled in accordance with these criteria, will have the best qualities and will become an indispensable assistant both in the summer cottage and in your own garden.
At the same time, a self-made device will be convenient and practical, since in the process of assembling all the parameters and design features should be performed based on your own anthropometric data, in addition, based on your own preferences and desires.
The final stage of creating the device is the assembly of the cultivator
How to assemble an inter-row cultivator?
The arrangement of all parts and their connection to each other is the final stage in the creation of the device, since its functionality depends to the greatest extent on the accuracy and correctness of these procedures..
What can we say, many garden cultivators and tillers, assembled with their own hands, do not have the best parameters. In most cases, the fault in such a situation is not at all the quality of the selected materials, although this criterion is also very important, but the improper assembly of the fixture. Therefore, every detail, trifle and step must be clearly verified, since this is the only way to achieve the desired result and get the device that is optimal in its characteristics..
The principle of connecting the parts is quite simple and consists in fixing to a frame, on which several movable sections are sequentially fixed. It is they who will act as plows and form our inter-row cultivator. In this case, the frame is fixed to the tiller with bolts, and all other cross members and corner elements are welded to it. In the role of the plows themselves, which are fixed in the grooves of the movable carts, absolutely any metal structures can act. Their main criterion is a pointed shape and relatively small dimensions. The moving elements themselves are fixed to the frame with bolts that allow you to adjust the distance of the plows from each other and guarantee their reliable fixation.
The principle of operation of the cultivator and its main advantages
Each of us has at least once seen a cultivator attached to a tractor and allowing better cultivation of the fields. The design of the cultivator has hardly changed since its inception. If you compare it with any other device, then it is a few small plows connected to each other..
Such a structure of this device allows processing only the top layer of soil, which is the most fertile. As a result, the plots exposed to the cultivator become the most convenient and are characterized by optimal yields. This fact is due to the fact that the top layer of the earth, consisting entirely of black soil, does not mix with other soil rocks and retains its qualities..
Thus, the practicality and efficiency of the cultivator served as the impetus for its widespread popularity. It has become popular with both farmers and amateur gardeners. The list of actions that can be performed using this device is truly amazing, since it forms an almost complete agricultural cycle. This list of the cultivator’s functionality looks like this:
- plowing the soil;
- weed control;
- loosening the soil;
- leveling the landscape;
- mineral fertilization.
The use of such a device can replace many garden tools and other household equipment. However, not everyone can use the services of a tractor or purchase this unit for personal use. In such conditions, some remain supporters of traditional methods of tillage, while others try to design a cultivator on their own. It should be borne in mind that it is not so difficult to make a home-made cultivator for a tiller. The only difficulty that may arise in the implementation of such a solution is the concept of the principle of operation of the device and the availability of practical skills to work with it. It is these qualities that are key and allow you to create the most functional and practical device that can fully process the site and save energy for its owner..

One of the devices designed to simplify human labor and make it more comfortable is a do-it-yourself cultivator for a tiller. On the eve of the summer cottage season, the issue of acquiring a variety of equipment for processing a land plot and collecting appropriate inventory becomes immensely relevant. However, the purchase of new factory devices is associated with rather large material costs, which is not always justified, and in the conditions of a small land plot, it becomes completely inappropriate. At the same time, an alternative to such expensive purchases is hand-made products.
DIY cultivator: drawing up a diagram and a list of the necessary equipment
How to make a cultivator with your own hands? The first stage, requiring detailed study and study, is the drawing up of a schematic diagram of the future device and a description of all stages of its assembly. To implement this part of the construction, it is required to draw up detailed drawings of the device, which must indicate all the dimensions and ratios of structural elements.
This can be done both with the help of special computer programs, which allows you to visually display the visual model, in addition, set all the necessary parameters for it, or use the traditional method. It consists in drawing drawings of all parts on graph paper, on which it is also necessary to indicate all other parameters and aspect ratios. Each of these options is able to fully convey all the necessary information that is required in order to quickly and easily create a homemade cultivator for a tiller..
After carrying out work aimed at creating a visual image of the future device, we proceed to collecting the necessary tools. The list of equipment that will be needed to carry out the work looks quite impressive and requires its full compliance. Otherwise, the lack of any tool is fraught with delays in work and the impossibility of performing one or another unit of the device. Therefore, it is extremely important to prepare in advance all the necessary tools and parts, which will not only significantly save time, but also perform the entire sequence of work most efficiently. As for the list of necessary equipment itself, it looks like this and in the best possible way emphasizes all the differently planned work and their importance. So, a homemade cultivator and its creation requires the following tools:
- welding machine;
- drill;
- a set of keys;
- sledgehammer;
- Angle Grinder;
- scissors for metal;
- roulette;
- screwdriwer set;
- hammer;
- pencil.
The above tools will allow you to create a device with optimal performance and do it in the shortest possible time. A separate point must be said about the methods of fastening parts to each other. Today there are only two of them. Metal bolts and welding are both completely reliable techniques for securing metal parts. However, it is better to assemble a home-made cultivator on a tiller using bolts, since due to the constant vibration that will accompany the operation of the device, the welded seams can quickly become unusable. The most critical parts of the structure should be fixed with bolts, while the auxiliary parts of the system may well be connected by welding.
Conclusion
Various garden automated devices have firmly entered our life, greatly simplifying the land work and making them more comfortable. In such conditions, cultivators and tillers occupy by no means the last place..
In addition, the creation of similar devices with your own hands will not only allow you to make a practical and reliable device, but also save a significant part of material resources. Installation of a manual cultivator requires detailed study and strict adherence to all stages of construction, since this is the only way to achieve the desired result and get the optimal device.
From an old bike
An equally interesting home-made product is a hand-held cultivator from a bicycle. To make such a device, you need to prepare a metal pipe, a frame and a bicycle wheel. You will also need metal blanks, steel strips, a drill, an angle grinder and a cultivator head..
Installation work consists of the following stages:
- The cultivator head is attached to the bicycle frame. A crossbar and handles are made of a metal pipe. They are connected with bolts..
- Next are the locknuts. They will be needed to fix the wheel to the frame..
- After performing such actions, the mechanism can be considered ready. To such a cultivator, you can attach a plow and related accessories that will make it more functional..
From the washing machine
Craftsmen make a cultivation device from an old, unnecessary washing machine, which is still working, but can no longer be used for the main task – washing. The engine must be removed from the old technology. It will serve as the basis for the future cultivator and will give the washing machine a second life..
In addition to the power plant, you will have to find a two-wire wire, a gearbox, a three-meter metal corner, switches, car springs, a start button and a drum with a piece of tin.
Having prepared the necessary elements, you can proceed to the installation work. Initially, welding is carried out, and then the preparation of cutting elements. It is important to ensure that each knife does not overlap with any other..
The starting and working windings are connected to the motor itself. The first is only needed to start the device, and the second is used all the time..
After completing the above steps, you can start testing the device.
How to make a cultivator with your own hands and assemble homemade attachments
Assembling a functional cultivator with your own hands is quite simple. Talented craftsmen create it from improvised means with minimal financial costs. If you have the right materials, time and desire, you can make such a device for a summer residence in a couple of weekends..
From a chainsaw
You can create a motor cultivator with your own hands from a chainsaw. A powerful domestic or foreign chainsaw is used as a basis. It is advisable to take the “Friendship” model, because it is cheaper than imported devices and has the required characteristics.
The Garden Assistant based on “Friendship” accelerates to 2.5 km / h, and the power value is equal to 4 liters. from.
A step-by-step assembly guide looks like this:
- The main halyard is fitted with a collar flange. This is necessary for the subsequent connection of bridge gearboxes..
- Then sprockets are taken (you can from the old UAZ) and a two-row chain. Parts are needed to raise the distance from the geared axle to the ground. Timing sprockets can increase the distance by 15 cm.
- Block bearings and a gearbox are installed on the key bridge..
- To fix the cutting elements, you need to use a steel pipe. It is important to ensure that the direction of the cutters corresponds to the movement of the tiller..
- After completion of the assembly work, a load is attached to the frame that can hold the center of gravity.
- For convenient control of the unit, it is equipped with handles.
At the last stage, it is necessary to check the homemade cultivator for performance. If there are defects or malfunctions in work, they are eliminated.
How to make different elements
To expand the functionality of the cultivator, additional attachments are put on it. For the manufacture of such nozzles, diagrams and drawings are used.
Trailer
The presence of a trailer will make the cultivator as useful and functional as possible. But before making such a structure, you need to make sure that the machine can drag it.
From trimmer
There are different attachments for the lawn mower that turn it into a potato digger, furrowing or plowing device. Homemade cultivators based on a trimmer are especially in demand for difficult-to-reach conditions where it is impossible to work with a large tiller with a trailer. The best option is a hand-held device called the Hedgehog. Having collected simple details and elements, “Hedgehogs” can be made by yourself. All that is required is a U-shaped bracket with holes, a shaft, a shank and spike wheels.
In order for the device to move normally around the garden, it must be equipped with good wheels. To do this, you can take old pancakes and provide them with metal spikes. The pins are made of cone-shaped fittings. Finished cutting elements are fixed on the axis, then it is inserted into the bracket and fixed on both sides.
A fastener is welded to the ends of the staple and inserted into the handle. It remains to check the unit for faults, eliminate them (if any) and start weeding the rows.
Assembly instructions
About how to make a manual cultivator with your own hands, the drawings will tell you no more than understandable words, therefore, in order to follow the assembly order and not miss a few useful tips, you should carefully read everything below about how to make a manual weeding cultivator with your own hands. information.
For masters with a lot of experience, it may not seem new, but for those who have just started farming, a vegetable garden and a garden, such instructions will be more than useful.
Here you will find several options for solving the problem of fast, cheap and effective weeding and cultivation of the site, bringing it to perfect condition, with fertile, well-breathing soil, free from weeds and pests..
Necessary materials
In order to be able to independently make various kinds of products useful for cultivating a vegetable garden, it is advisable to have the most necessary and frequently used materials at hand. Such materials, which should be in any workshop, are, first of all, steel.
The more profiles, strips, bars and pipes made of steel will be on the farm, the easier it will be to perform a variety of work, carry out repairs and produce useful equipment..
Also, you definitely need a welding machine with which you can quickly and reliably connect all metal parts..
This can be done with self-tapping screws for metal, but their scope and reliability are not comparable to welding..
Flat cutter
Another useful piece of inventory is a hand-made flat-cutter cultivator with your own hands, it is quite possible to make it, although its design differs from the “Tornado” – it is somewhat more complicated. First of all, you need a bicycle, an old one that no one uses anymore and one bicycle wheel is ideal..
It should not be too large, since such a wheel is inconvenient to use, it is better to take a medium and small one. Also, for the main working part of the plane cutter, the cutting part from a two-handed saw is perfect. Although, if there is a head from a cultivator, then it will be a simpler and more reliable option..
In order to make the frame of the product, you can take only a fork from a bicycle, with an attached wheel, to which you will need to attach handles, using welding or bolts. A crossbar is installed between the handles, to which a cultivator head or a flat cutter made of a saw is attached.
But this option, although easier to manufacture, is still not as reliable as a cultivator made from the main part of a bicycle frame..
In order to get a stronger and more reliable inventory, you need to turn the frame with the rear wheel fixed, and weld to it: on top – handles, at a convenient angle for you, below the cultivator knives, similar to the previous product. This design will be heavier, more stable and stronger..
DIY Garden Cultivator~THIS WORKS FANTASTIC!
Also, this design can be made more versatile, adapted to the use of different attachments, by making the cultivator mount on bolts. In work, such inventory will be much more convenient..
In addition, its use is the most productive of all the variations of cultivators presented here – it is extremely simple to use it, it moves continuously and practically independently, you just need to slightly press on your hands, so that the blade goes into the ground to the required depth.
Additional tips and tricks
During any work in the workshop, all safety measures must be observed. First of all, it is necessary to protect the eyes, especially when working with welding, regardless of its type..
In arc welding, it is not only the intensity of light resulting from the burning of the arc that is dangerous, but also the dross that occurs at the site of a frozen weld. Moreover, it can break off spontaneously, during the cooling of the metal, flying to a great height.
It is also a bad idea to knock down a hot viburnum with a hammer in the direction “towards you”, because it can get not only in the eyes, but also on open areas of the skin and behind the collar, in the hair. Therefore, they must be closed first..
When working with gas welding, when heating metal for processing or cutting, gloves and face shields must be used – work is carried out at high temperatures. Also, remember that oxygen creates an explosive mixture when it comes into contact with oil – no spark is needed to detonate this mixture..
About the device
In the fields, cultivation is carried out using special equipment with the necessary equipment, but as for small farms and plots, light motorized equipment can be used for their processing, such cultivators as: electric for summer cottages, mini cultivator, Loplos or manual cultivators.
If we talk about a home-made manual cultivator for giving with your own hands, it is quite possible to make it.
It can be made without the use of any special materials and tools, and this can be done in a day or a couple of hours, depending on what exactly the future product will be – a simple hedgehog with a handle, or a modification of an old bicycle.
But you will definitely benefit from such a product. It will be a well-groomed vegetable garden, where a variety of crops bear fruit equally well, clean of weeds with soil that is easy to cultivate.
Such products function exclusively with the help of muscle strength, so there will be no costs for electricity and fuel, especially since there will be no maintenance of engines and replacement of parts..
All mechanical parts are extremely reliable, due to their simplicity, and in the event that they do break down, it will be very easy to replace anything – you just need to make a new part from existing materials.
Also, making homemade hand cultivators requires little or no design or engineering experience as they are mostly made up of just a few movable joints..

Tornado
One of the simplest products of agricultural implements is a hand-made tornado cultivator with your own hands. It is very easy to make, just like a cultivator for a vegetable garden. In order to start making it, you first need to get acquainted with how it functions.
“Tornado” is a simple device, which consists of three components – a handle, a handle and a working part, which is the main one in this device..
The handle perpendicular to the handle has a great length and serves as a lever that facilitates the work of “twisting” weeds from the ground, using the lower part of the product – long steel rods twisted in a spiral around the central axis.
Its principle of operation is similar to a corkscrew, but much larger..
With moderate pressure, the “Tornado” is driven into the ground where the weed is located, scrolls in place, moreover, the direction of rotation does not really matter, and rises up.
In this case, the weed, together with the entire root system, is extracted, “unscrewed” from the ground. You can make this product yourself and it is not at all difficult to do it. There are two ways to make it.
Using springy steel, you will make a completely new, very easy-to-use “Tornado”. To do this, you need a tape of similar steel, with the following dimensions: length 0.5 meters, thickness 0.15 centimeters, width 2 centimeters. Next, you need to make a loop out of it, a downward spiral.
Home made tractor.
If there is only one loop in the product, then it needs to be given several turns, but if there are several of them, then a large number of turns can complicate the work – they must be short. The hinges are welded to the base from the pipe into which the handle will be inserted.
By introducing advanced milking technologies, labor productivity is increased, comfort for pets is ensured and production costs are reduced. Milking machines for cows – significant savings in your financial costs and time.
Tillers have long been commonplace for many rural farmers. Tiller Beam – easy to operate and quite affordable.
With the help of snow blowers, you can easily clear the area from the snow that has fallen, without wasting energy and a lot of time. Here’s everything about the lovely Champion snow blower.
The ends of the curved tape should be sharpened into a long, stretched cone with a sharp end. Also, you can attach a long perpendicular handle to the handle, similar to the handle of factory models.
Also, “Tornado” can be made from old pitchforks. This will require, oddly enough, a pitchfork, a hammer and patience. Using a hammer, it is necessary to give the desired shape to the teeth of the forks, bending them with gentle blows.
Work must be done in three planes at the same time, because if you immediately bend the teeth in one direction, it can be difficult to continue working..
Also, in order to make it easier for yourself, you can heat up the metal by welding, but it should not become too soft – the steel that is used for such equipment loses its properties with excessive heating, and can simply break under hammer blows.
For the lever, in this case, you can use a pipe made of metal or plastic, which is attached with self-tapping screws. The optimal length of such a handle is approximately 50 centimeters..
This length is needed in order to work with any, even heavy soil, and to cope with a weed, which may have a branched and resistant root..
DIY cultivator: how to make a manual ripper and make a flat cutter and a ripper – tips and instructions
Cultivation is loosening the soil that has already been processed, with cutting weeds and other plants harmful to the crop.
Cultivation helps to improve the water and air regimes of the soil, thereby increasing its fertility and the possibility of planting complex and demanding plants on it, such as sunflowers..

How to make a do-it-yourself mounted flat cutter cultivator for a tiller
It’s good to have a house in the country.
You rummage and rummage all your free time in the garden, in the land. Something turns out, but even more I want to plant, grow with my own hands. And how amazing these plants are: you treat them with kindness and soul, and they immediately respond to it. And everything would be fine if not for the weeds. Fighting them can drive an unprepared person crazy. But this must be done in any case. The question is how exactly.
Long and difficult. Flat cutter? There are doubts.
And now, on the basis of trial and error (or, more simply, by typing), I approached the creation of a universal flat cutter-cultivator, on which you can easily and naturally install various devices for cultivating the land.
To do this, you only need to loosen four bolts with a diameter of 10 mm using a 17 × 19 wrench, remove the nozzle, put another one and tighten the bolts again (in fact, the whole structure is perfectly visible in the figure). Previously, of course, each such replaceable nozzle must be set to the desired height or depth.
To create a universal flat cutter, materials were used that can be found in any shed. For example, the spokes in the wheels can be reinforced with nails or wire with a diameter of 6 mm (after all, working in the ground requires a certain margin of safety for all parts). And the forks for the same wheels (by the way, I took them from an old baby carriage) can be made by ourselves from a pipe with a diameter of 15 cm or a pipe with a square section of 20 × 20 cm.
But the steering wheel was used from an adult bicycle, but you can easily make it out of a pipe, if that.
It is mounted on the cultivator in such a way that it can be easily adjusted to suit your height using two 6 mm diameter bolts. I constructed a plow for planting potatoes, hilling and weeding row spacings from the boom of a conventional cultivator, to which I welded the sides. The angle of the strut in it was made at 90 ° in relation to the ground.
And again, such a plow can be made on your own if you wish. Moreover, in combination with a device called “digger”, it helps out great when digging up potatoes.
For this, a hitch is placed on two wheels.
x and is adjustable to the width of two furrows (approximately 65 to 70 cm). I dig potatoes across the row. It is more convenient to choose it after that. Yes, and before planting potatoes, I loosen the ground with my universal device.
I also have a device for trimming a mustache on beds with strawberries: vertical stripes to the bottom are sharpened under a knife on both sides.
They are adjustable to the width of the row and are used in tandem with a hitch. After that, I put one wheel and a narrow rake on the cultivator: the aisles are loosened, and the mustache overgrowth is removed. For the same work, you can use rollers with a flat cutter.
For cutting furrows in the beds, I use a device where the row spacing is freely adjustable. On my station wagon, you can install any rollers and flat cutters of various widths, as well as a rake. This machine justifies itself, and even very much. It is quite simple to manufacture: a little skills, an angle grinder, welding and improvised material, metal.
I think many will be interested in my proposal. It is a pity that there is no camera, I had to paint.
I will add: the corner of the weeding tool itself is the most obtuse.
The width of capture for any garden bed is from 15 to 40 cm. The steel strip is thick (spring from the old “Moskvich”) plus the steering column torsion bar from the “Zaporozhets”. It is welded at a slight angle to the ground. The angle grinder is sharpened from the top side, front and back. That’s all.
I did this technique to my brother and neighbor. A friend of mine has already assembled it according to my drawing: they say that the neighbors went to him all day to look at this miracle.
In general, the owners of the station wagon are in seventh heaven. They unanimously say that half of their lives without such a unit have lived on earth in vain. The vegetable garden weeds very quickly! Therefore, I propose. Whoever takes an interest and makes such a station wagon will thank himself. Well, dear summer residents, good luck in the garden!

ADVANCED CULTIVATORS
Design options for cultivators (Figures 1-3) performing several operations at the same time.
The cultivator shown in Figure 1 loosens the soil to the depth of the pins and chops the weeds with disc blades. U-blade cuts soil and weed roots.
The cultivator shown in Figure 2 loosens the soil to the depth of the cone knives, moves the soil to the side and chops the weeds with the disc knives. U-blade cuts soil and weed roots.
The cultivator shown in Figure 3 cuts the soil down to the depth of the disc blades and chops up the weeds. U-shaped knife cuts soil and weed roots.
When the cultivator is turned 180 ‘relative to the fork in the vertical plane, the cutting U-shaped knife is removed from work and only the remaining operations are performed.
Figures 1 and 2 show the diggers. The designs provide for the adjustment of the depth of the holes from max = 12 cm to min by turning the fork with paired wheels. In the construction in fig. 2 added a plow for throwing mulch and soil to a depth of 5 cm. In this case, the excavator is used as a marker, and the seeds are placed on a solid substrate of soil. Backward on the bed, one of the side wheels closes the holes or presses the seeds into the soil. The angle adjustment of the paired wheels determines the depth of the holes.
