Field Cultivator
A Field Cultivator is most commonly used to stir or aerate the soil before planting to prepare a loose seed bed. Preventative maintenance includes greasing roller units and at end of season washing and putting a rust preventative on shovels.

A Harrow is used for smoothing out soil for planting. Harrowing is usually done after plowing, discing or cultivating. Newer field cultivators have harrows built onto them. Greasing all moving parts is part of the preventative maintenance.
