Danish tines with sweeps on a field cultivator

I purchased a green implement identical to yours about five years ago only slightly different setup. Mine is wider with I think 7 tines, three forward and four back? Instead of wide sweeps at the end of the tines, I have narrow sweeps (like spikes). I might replace them someday with wide sweeps because I took two front tines off to use this implement as a row cultivator for my two row corn planter. I have some shields from a different cultivator.

I am told those "spring" tines shown in photo are known as "danish" tines around here. I have another field cultivator with true "spring" tines. the tines are hinged at the bar and have dual heavy duty springs on each tine. Again this implement has spike sweeps not wide sweeps. By the way "springs" break when you go too deep and hit the bedrock.

I use both implements as a poor man's subsitute for a plow. So yes I do pull them across sod to break it up. Yes they can go deep (12") if you adjust your top link and 3pt correctly. I run a disc with drag afterwards to prepare for planting.

Most farmer around here never plow. They run a cultivator implemnt with danish tines up front row(s) and disc(s) in the back and maybe a drag as well. One or two passes over beans/hay and the field is ready for corn planter.

Fleet Farm calls your style by three different names: field cultivator sweeps, row crop sweeps, chisel plow sweeps.

Fleet Farm calls my style: chisel spikes, spring tooth points, cultivator quackers and tooth sweeps.

I think John Deere would have sold this implement as field cultivator to replace a plow. The spacing of tines is too close for row crops like beans unless you went real slow.
