Field Tuff FTF-48C3PT 3 Point Cultivator, 48"

After reading the other reviews I didn't expect much. Those expectations were exceeded. First, the frame is very heavy duty, good job of welding, although the ears are too narrow for a quick hitch, had to weld on some bolts to use as "ear" pins for the quick hitch. If you don't use a quick hitch no mod needed. Second, although the package was late and had clearly been torn open and taped shut, 100% of the parts were there along with a manual. Third, the springtooth s-tines dug in fine and with multiple passes cleared the springtime weeds from my gravel parking area, with the bonus that it raked up the grass clumps that it dug up. I tried breaking up a 4' swath of turf in the backyard for a garden an got less than acceptable results as that is a job for another tool. Being stubborn, I spent $70 on a set of danish sweeps for the s-tines, found it easy to control depth with the top link. I was kind of surprised to see no bent s-tines after digging up that turf with the sweeps, and after 3 passes that turf area was ready to plant sweet corn. I'm going to build a weight block to sit on top of the tool, which will look funny but will make it a digging machine if those s-tines can take the abuse.

More rugged than it looks. My field has lots of rocks! Big rocks! This cultivator would roll most of the rocks up then hop right over them and keep going. Assembly was easy enough. No cons at this point.

The cardboard package was distorted and one corner was torn. Bolts, nuts and washers were loose in bottom of box. I discovered several bolts, nuts, washers missing upon assembly. There was no instructions but did locate a pdf file on line. Paint job on main frame was scuffed and scratched (but it is farm implement). Welds looked ok. This is not a heavy duty cultivator but after assembly it should work ok for my garden patch. One dislike is the 6" tube extensions remain loose & wobbly after tightening bolts! I've contacted seller about missing bolts, etc and poor packaging issues. All other parts were ok. The S Tines and chisel points seem very heavy duty. I will be using this cultivator in a few weeks. I'm satisfied with my purchase since many local area stores had 1-2 month delivery and excessive delivery costs.

Cultivator arrived missing parts necessary to put together (box appeared significantly re-taped. Contact with company was good however 2 weeks later still no parts. May have to wait till spring to use.

It's a little difficult to set up. I've used it for 3 months and have lost a few of the shoes. There's nowhere to replace them and finding spare parts is difficult.Finally got a hold of the company and they replaced the broken shoes at no cost. Product works great but difficult to get a hold of the company.

This is the perfect implement for my small farm, really easy to hook up and strong steel. Wish I would have checked amazon first got mine from a Tractor store did not think about it until I was looking for something else and there it was could have saved my shipping charge. The only thing I don't like is made in China, hope to see this type of tool manufactured in the USA.

one of the arms was bent wrong so i had to drill holes in it to make it work

A weld broke right after installing this. So I’m one tine down in operation. Works well though! Waiting for a food plot to grow
