Empire Tapered Sweep for Row Crop Cultivators

Description

When you’re cultivating row crops and need a sweep that cuts clean through the soil while minimizing disturbance around your plants, this 18-inch Empire tapered sweep gets the job done right. The tapered design gives you excellent soil flow and penetration while the wide coverage helps you stay productive in the field.

What You’re Getting

• 18-inch width provides efficient coverage for faster cultivation passes
• Tapered wings designed for smooth soil flow and reduced drag
• 1/4-inch thick construction stands up to rocks and tough field conditions
• 55-degree shank angle works with most standard cultivator setups
• Standard bolt pattern with 2-1/4 inch centers and 7/16 inch bolts for easy installation

Built for Real Farm Work

This sweep is built for row crop cultivation where you need to control weeds while keeping soil disturbance to a minimum. Whether you’re working corn, soybeans, or other row crops, the tapered design helps you maintain good soil structure while getting the cultivation job done efficiently.

Made to Last

At 1/4 inch thick, this sweep handles the punishment that comes with field work. The steel construction and proper heat treatment mean it’ll keep its edge longer and resist bending even when you hit rocks or hard-packed soil.

Good to Know

The 5/8-inch square center hole fits standard cultivator shanks, and installation is straightforward with the two-bolt mounting pattern. Check your shank angle before ordering to make sure the 55-degree design matches your cultivator setup. Keep a few spares on hand during cultivation season since a damaged sweep can slow you down when timing is critical.
