A spring tooth is basicaly a field cultivatoy without the wheels and on runners, the fore runner of the feild cultivator, a spring tooth with a spike tooth hooked behind is a good finnish setup, level smooth seedbed ready for planting

As Paul indicated, the spike toothed harrow is like railroad spikes being held against the ground and then drug along.

While it does some weed control it primarily pulverizes clods and smoothes the terrain.

A spring toothed harrow does more weed cultivation, goes into the soil deeper and opens the ground up more. It does a good job of breaking up crusted ground and leveling the terrain.

As the springy, somewhat U-shaped tines are pulled along, they kind of vibrate as the point skips through the soil. This kind of brings the clods to the surface somewhat, therefore leaving the ground open to catch rain, but not so fine on top as to blow or wind errode. They leave a nice seedbed to plant into--at least in Western Kansas.

A 36 foot or larger "Crustbuster" covers a lot of ground quickly too.

Spring tooth is like a heavy duty siderake tooth - light duty, lot of flexing.

Spike tooth is like railroad spikes - doesn't move. Locally spike tooth are more valued.
