Hand-cultivator and drill-hoe, which, by adjustinglong or short slots, can be used between rows of anywidth; for stirring or cultivating the land, the tines only-are used; for hoeing, shares suited to the width of eachrow are fitted on the tines. To the frame can also beadjusted coulters for drawing furrows for different depths;also potato-moulder with expanding wings.
Single-horse subsoil plough and pulverizer, with sharesfor paring and hoeing, either on the ridge or flat. Whenused as a subsoil pulverizer, three strong chisel-shapedtines, adjustable to any depth, are fitted behind oneanother in the wrought-iron beam in such a way as topulverize the whole space, after the furrow slice has beenremoved. When used as a hoe, a slot is attached to thebeam, to which two of the tines are fitted, shifting in the
slot to any required width. To these tines shares of anywidth can be adjusted. By removing the shares, a cul-tivator or stirrer is formed.
