What’s the difference between a conventional cultivator and a stubble cultivator? 

Stubble cultivators and general-use cultivators differ on their intended use and, as a result, on their design and the time of year when they’re typically used. General-purpose cultivators are intended to perform secondary tillage, after ploughing, preparing the soil for planting by creating a smooth, aerated seedbed . To achieve this, they have deeper cultivation depth and designs that facilitate thorough seedbed preparation with varying types of tines and discs. Stubble cultivators are intended for shallow cultivation after harvest to break up compacted topsoil and encourage decomposition of crop residue. They have a shallower cultivation depth but heavier tines and are often equipped with additional discs or boards to aid soil mixing. Learn more about different types and depths of cultivation machinery in our used cultivators buying guide.

FAQ's about Cultivators

To protect the legs of a cultivator or plough from damage, many machines will have shear bolts.  These bolts pass through the leg and frame of the machine and are designed to snap when the legs come in contact with a rock or other unmoving object.  The idea behind this is to save the frame and leg from bending, using an incorrect shear bolt and result in the bolt not shearing and expensive damage occurring to the machine.

There is a huge range of cultivators available, mostly cultivators are designed with a tillage system in mind.  Starting from a minimum tillage system using machines like the straw rake, you can go to the other end of the spectrum to a heavy cultivator like the Sumo Trio.  One of the most popular cultivators of recent times has been the short disc.  Machines like the Simba X-press and the Vaderstad Carrier are an excellent all-round light cultivator which are equally adept straight onto stubble or breaking down ploughing.
