More About Seedbed Cultivators

Our wide range of seedbed cultivators includes machinery of different manufacturers, configurations, and working widths, giving you the opportunity to find equipment that suits the technical aspects of your farm’s requirements. Each machine on our site is built by a trusted, well-known manufacturer that undergoes a quality assessment upon arrival, ensuring it meets our ready-for-work standard. Choose from seedbed machinery in widths of 3m, 5m, and wider for seamless cultivation and achieve an optimal seedbed ready for planting.

What’s the difference between a generic cultivator and a seedbed cultivator?

General-use cultivators and seedbed cultivators differ in their soil impact and design, with both pieces of machinery ultimately having different purposes in the cultivation process. 

While general-use cultivators are designed for secondary tillage after drilling or ploughing, performing general seedbed preparation by breaking up compacted soil and incorporating organic matter, seedbed cultivators perform final tillage and soil preparation by creating a firm and level seedbed immediately prior to sowing.

These differences are reflected in the design of each machine. Generic cultivators use a configuration of heavier legs, discs, and tines that cultivate at deeper working depths (up to 30cm) for greater soil disturbance that improves aeration and promotes strong root development. Whereas seedbed cultivators utilise shallower and lighter tines (usually no deeper than 15cm) followed by levelling boards and rollers that prepare the seedbed. They are often utilised for soil preparation in cases where the seeds being planted are more sensitive and require finer soil preparation. 

Find out more about the differences in cultivation machinery and depths 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.
