The disk harrow is used first to slice up the large clods left by the mould-board plough, followed by the spring-tooth harrow. To save time and fuel they may be pulled by one tractor; the disk hitched to the tractor, and the spring-tooth hitched to, and directly behind, the disk. The result is a smooth field with powdery dirt at the surface.
Harrows, whether spring tooth, spike tooth or disc harrows can have a drag connection or have a 3 point mounting. A drag harrow is pulled and cannot be backed up. Three point implements can be raised and lowered hydraulicly and maneuvered more easily. A spring-tooth harrow is a type of harrow, and specifically a type of tine harrow. It uses ...
A 4-foot drag harrow A larger, 12 foot drag harrow simply uses three four foot sections that are connected. A drag harrow, a type of spring-tooth harrow, is a largely outdated type of soil cultivation implement that is used to smooth the ground as well as loosen it after it has been plowed and packed.
For example, in mechanical weed control, controlling cultivator tooth depth is practical only with a decently flat soil contour, and in combining, controlling combine head height is practical only with a decently flat soil contour. Rolling is also believed to help reduce moisture loss from cultivated soil.

Tines and prongs occur in nature—for example, forming the branched bony antlers of deer or the forked horns of pronghorn antelopes. The term tine is also used for mountains, such as the fictional Silvertine in The Lord of the Rings. In chaos theory (physics, non-linear dynamics), the branches of a bifurcation diagram are called tines and subtines
Larger tools (or lawnmower attachments) are more often used for large areas of de-thatching or soil preparation. A concrete rake is a heavy-duty tool with a flat edge for spreading and smoothing wet concrete and a curved side for scooping.
Spur gears can be classified into two main categories: External and Internal. Gears with teeth on the outside of the cylinder are known as "external gears". Gears with teeth on the internal side of the cylinder are known as "internal gears". An external gear can mesh with an external gear or an internal gear.
