Large-chisel cultivators were typically used for wide spaced crops such as corn or potatoes. The turned the soil to eliminate weeds and other plants that would compete with the crop for water and nutrients. On this cultivator the shields that keep the crop away from the cultivating chisels can be clearly seen.
