Description
When you’re cultivating between crop rows, you need a sweep that cuts through the soil cleanly without throwing dirt onto your young plants. This Empire tapered sweep is designed to do exactly that—the tapered wings slice through weeds and soil while moving less dirt around than a straight-edged sweep. If you’ve been dealing with buried seedlings after cultivation, this design will make a real difference in your field work.
What You’re Getting
- Tapered wing design that cuts clean without excessive soil throw
- Quarter-inch thick steel that holds its edge through rocky conditions
- 55-degree shank angle that’s perfect for shallow cultivation work
- Standard 7/16-inch bolts on 2-1/4-inch centers for easy installation
- 5/8-inch square center hole fits most cultivator shanks
Built for Real Farm Work
This 10-inch sweep is sized right for row crop cultivation where precision matters. Whether you’re working corn, soybeans, or other row crops, it gives you the width to handle weeds between plants without getting too aggressive near the crop rows. The tapered design makes it especially useful in lighter soils where you want weed control without creating a dust storm.
Made to Last
Empire builds these sweeps from quality steel that can handle the rocks, roots, and hard ground that come with cultivation work. The quarter-inch thickness gives you plenty of material to work with, so this sweep will keep cutting effectively even after it’s seen some wear. The bolt holes are properly sized and positioned to prevent stress cracking around the mounting points.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward—just line up the bolt holes and tighten down. If you’re switching from a different sweep style, take a look at your cultivation depth and speed. Tapered sweeps work best at shallower depths where they can slice rather than dig, and they’ll give you cleaner results if you don’t push the ground speed too hard.
