A cultivator is a farm or gardening tool used for soil preparation and weed control. It is a versatile implement designed to break up, loosen, and aerate the soil, making it suitable for planting crops or creating seedbeds. Cultivators come in various sizes and designs, from small hand-operated versions for home gardening to larger tractor-mounted units for commercial agriculture. Here's a description of the key features and components of a typical cultivator:

1. Tines or Teeth: The primary working element of a cultivator is a set of tines or teeth. These are metal prongs or blades that are either fixed or adjustable in their position. Tines can be spaced at different intervals to suit the specific application and the depth of cultivation required.

2. Frame: Cultivators are built on a sturdy frame that supports the tines and provides stability during operation. The frame may have wheels or skids to help guide the cultivator and maintain a consistent depth.

3. Depth Control: Most cultivators feature an adjustable depth control mechanism, often in the form of wheels or skids located at the rear of the machine. This allows the operator to set the desired cultivation depth, ensuring consistent results and preventing damage to the soil.

4. Power Source: Cultivators can be powered by various means, depending on their size and intended use. Small hand-operated cultivators are typically powered by the operator's physical effort, while larger cultivators are attached to tractors or have their own engines for self-propulsion.

5. Width Adjustment: Some cultivators allow for the adjustment of the width between the tines. This feature is useful for adapting the machine to different row spacing and garden or field sizes.

6. Handlebars or Controls: In hand-operated cultivators, there are usually handlebars or controls that the operator uses to steer and control the machine's direction.

7. Blades or Tine Configuration: Cultivators may have different blade or tine configurations, including single or multiple rows of tines. The choice of configuration can affect the depth of cultivation, the quality of soil mixing, and the level of weed control.

8. Drag or Hitch: Larger tractor-mounted cultivators often have a hitch or attachment point that allows them to be connected to a tractor or other agricultural machinery. This allows for efficient cultivation over larger areas.

9. Transport Wheels (for some models): Some cultivators are equipped with transport wheels, making it easier to
