Q. What is the difference between a chisel plow and a cultivator?

Answer

Although cultivators frequently take on the appearance of chisel ploughs, their functions are fundamentally distinct. Cultivators’ teeth operate close to the surface, often for the purpose of weed management, while chisel plough shanks work down under the surface, breaking up the hardpan. As a consequence of this, cultivating also requires a significantly lower amount of power per shank than chisel ploughing does. Small-toothed cultivators that may be pushed or dragged by a single individual are used as gardening equipment for small-scale farming, including for the household's personal use or for tiny market gardens. Examples of this kind of gardening include A harrow and a cultivator are typically combined into a single multipurpose piece of equipment known as a rotary tiller of a similar size.
