Cultivators generally turn over and aerate the soil to prepare it for planting. Row crop cultivators, specifically, help to alleviate weeds in between crop rows. The usage of row crop cultivators dramatically decreased in the 1960s as the usage of herbicides increased, but in recent years they have become more popular again with the growth of organic farming and farmers looking for different solutions to herbicide-resistant weeds. Early cultivators were hoe-like implements used by farmers to till soil. They were typically pulled by humans or livestock in the early days, but modern row crop cultivators for sale are able to be attached and pulled by tractors for greater efficiency and production.
Modern row crop cultivators have many features and advanced technologies that help to enhance their capabilities as well. Some examples include GPS and camera guidance systems for better navigation and foldable arms for easier transport. Row crop cultivators come in various sizes and can cover up to 36 rows at once, and they have different methods of attachment with the three-point hitch being the most common. Equipment Anywhere, through its ever-evolving network of equipment dealers and individual sellers, is able to offer new and used row crop cultivators for sale from some of the industry’s leading manufacturers such as John Deere, Case IH, Hiniker, Buffalo, Orthman, International, Lilliston, Bigham Brothers, B&H, Kongskilde, and Alloway, among others.
