Help with identifying correct size of S tine...

[New Puritan]

With my usual apologies for asking a dunce question - I recently picked up an S tine cultivator very cheaply, but it needs a few of the tines replacing.

Does anyone recognise the make of it, or can anyone tell me where to get the tines from? There's a few available online but not all places say the dimensions, and without knowing who made it, it's hard to know which ones to get.

Here it is: (ignore all the other scrap behind it!)

I thought I had measured it correctly and bought some of these for it: https://www.malpasonline.co.uk/itm/Cultivation-Tines/S-Tine-Section-32-x-10mm/77126, but they turned out to be slightly too small and the tine is angled too far back:

Happily my landlord has another cultivator which the Malpas ones will fit perfectly, but it still means I need to find some for this one. They measure 61 cm tall, 23 cm deep, and 44cm from the clamp to the ground.

Can anyone suggest what they are please?

Thanks!

Looks like a konskilide tripple k.

And old ones sometimes lose there spring slightly so new ones not exactly the same.

If you want to get it to work, the kongskilde triple K tine will be the one you want. They do alter a bit after hard work, so yours on the cultivator would have stretched over time.
I would say the original ones are the square shouldered ones that you have some of on the machine, and the slightly more rounded profile and glossy black ones are the later kongskilde ones.

I’ve got an old scratcher that needs tines too, am also having trouble locating an exact match although only on paper and haven’t bought any to compare yet

Try Kramp for ID:

[Pushdyke]

Is the top picture one harrow or two.

Catchpole made spring tine harrows many years ago.

 

[Nearly]

Forget looking for a match.
The modern option is to go with straight tines, they pull fewer stones out onto the surface.
just my 2p.

@Pushdyke - it's one, the angle of the photo is doing something funny with the perspective on the two folding bits.

@Nearly - 'modern' isn't really a word in the dictionary here! But that isn't a bad idea, if I had a move about so that all the new straight ones were at the front and all the old curly ones in the middle and back.

Thanks @milkloss - that's a useful link and they have actually put the dimensions in which makes life easier.

@Jon and @Flat 10 - yeah that makes sense, but the KKK ones I bought from Malpas are approx 2 inches shorter than the existing ones. That may be because the old ones have lost their spring as you say, but I can't see the machine doing a very even job with that sort of mixture? Or does it matter? Just run it slightly deeper?

Not sure it is a Kongskillde. Mine had the tine holding bars horizontal. Yours seem to be at an angle, which may account for the 2" difference.

We use our machine for levelling after ploughing/discing old pasture before planting grass seed with a PH (scratch,roll,scratch,roll until level) If you go too deep you’ll find (we do anyway) that it’ll bring trash to the surface so I’d say too much difference might not make such a good job.

Are you sure the kongskilde ones won't fit?

They are a barsteward to fit. Normally involve a large hammer a lot of swearing and loss of skin and blood in my case.

I get ours from spaldings.

[New Puritan]

@7610 super q - yes that makes sense. Most of the ones I've found for sale seem to expect the bar to be level. I'm beginning to see why the previous owner got rid of the bloody thing.

@AgriLinc do a selection of tines, maybe they can help ?

I think it might be this one that Spaldings stock.

If you give them a ring they are quite helpful and will probably have a full diagram.

We have one exactly the same and it was made by Massey Ferguson so the sign on it says, but that probably means it was made by somebody else. I can look to see if there are any # on the tines if that would help.

Yes please - that would be really helpful. Thanks!

The only # I could find was a large K and then two numbers 38--, the other 2 unreadable I'm afraid. Hope this will help
