Walking cultivators were hand-guided implements pulled by a single horse or mule, with the operator walking behind to steer the blades between rows of growing crops. This plate, numbered as one of a series, shows the design details that set these machines apart from riding models, which carried the driver on a seat. Plates like this one were common in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century manufacturers' catalogs, where buyers compared tools by their parts and working widths before ordering. The tools pictured reflect a time when weeding and soil loosening were done by hand-directed equipment and when a farm's productivity depended heavily on animal power.
