Danish sweep style tips on field cultivator

lots of different Danish sweeps - to answer your question, I think, you would have to be talking apples and apples (same design) before comparing depth of tillage, number of sweeps, type of soil, ect. Sorry I'm not sure I helped.

Yes, the ones that look like the letter V. Have you ever used them?

As a kid, on the Farm, we used sweeps on Field Tillage Equipment all the time. Never have seen these sweeps used on, Garden Tractor tillage equipment.

There are V's and there are V's.

Yes I have used them, both on the farm and with Sears Suburban SS16 garden tractor cultivator. Example from eBay;

Yes, those are exactly the kind I’m referring to. How deep did you run them? I feel like those tips would work better than what I currently have.

This is what I have now. I feel like the V shaped ones would control weeds between the rows better. Thoughts?

I set the gage wheels so the sweeps would penetrate the soil between 2 - 3 inches, that worked well for me. Without the gage wheels it was difficult to keep the sweeps from heading to china. I don't remember if I had the tilt adjustment for the sweep like shown in the link. Id check mine but they are under lots of clutter and it would be major to dig them out. My Sears cultivator attachment has been setting in a storage shed since ~ 1982 along with the plow, disk and home built drag. I used rototillers after that, a 38" Roper on an SS16 for preparing the garden and rear tine walk behind for between rows.

Dig that plow out and use it in the fall then till in the spring.
Only way to go.
Sure tills up easier in the spring after fall plowing and you are not fighting all the trash and uneven ground.

I rototilled in both the Spring and Fall, usually worked in leaves/compost in the fall. Garden, 80' by 120', would stand 10" to 12" proud after Fall workout. I would till it 3 or 4 times in the Spring and Fall adding some sheep pellets or triple 12 before planting. I have to admit I gave up that garden for smaller gardens about 20 years ago. This last year 2022 was the first without a garden of some kind since 1977 - I really miss having a garden, I enjoyed all aspects of it from working the ground, planting seeds/plants, harvesting and eating the produce......weeding not so much.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
