Basically;

Aerating
Mixing
Drying
Breaking down the tilth

Compared to a Zig-zag harrow there will be times when the forward speed of the cultivating point will be travelling at 4 to 5 times the speed of the frame after being held back by a clod and thus able to create more shatter of the next clod.

In the right conditions they make a good job of grading tilth, leaving the knots on the surface and fine tilth at seed depth.

I find I pretty much need duels on with our 6m, it doesn't lift your tracks out just moves soil to cover them otherwise. I am on 16.9 420s though.
You can cover lot of ground very quick and cheap compared to power harrow. Best machine for lighter land imo.
Machine for different conditions I suppose
