If, however, the soil is rocky or stony a spring-tinecultivator is preferred as it will give and will not remain rigid on striking anythingsolid, thus lowering breakage charges. A cultivator for use with a tractor must havea front swivel wheel. In a heavy solid steel tractor cultivator for which there is a demand, there shouldbe from eleven to fifteen tines on each cultivator and the price should be such that itcould be sold to the farmer for from £25 to £30 ($ to $146). The following illustrations of English-made cultivators with solid steel tineswill give some idea of the type of machine required, but any Canadian manufacturerscatering to this demand should make a stronger cultivator than those illustrated. Itwould also be wise to have higher wheels; it is suggested that wheels about three feetin diameter would suit the conditions of this market. English-made Solid Tine Cultivator. This patent steel cultivator of English manufacture is fitted with side levers andlong expanding axles to the road wheels so that it can be used as a ridger or scufflerto cover 24-inch to 30-inch ridges. Two lifting levers are provided which can beoperated either from the seat or when walking behind the machine for lifting thetines when turning at the headlands or altering the pitch. By means-of the side levers,which-have ample range to adjust the machine, and the expanding axle, the depth ofthe work can be altered without interfering with the pitch of the tines. The wheel WMEKLY BULLETIX 1341 tracks are cut up without using cranked tines and a great amount of clearance isobtained between the outside front tines and the road wheels. The main frame ismade with twin front bars and steel brackets, and the rigidity is maintained when theaxles are expanded. The road wheels have renewable bushes and are fitted wit
