| The second key feature, which is essential for optimal tine performance, is to isolate the action of any given tine as much as possible from the action of
preceding and following tines in the rotation of the shaft. When this is not done the soil is pinched between the face of one tine and the back-side of the
preceding tine. This aggravates soil lifting and root dislodging which predisposes the soil to erosion. |
