COULTER Meaning and
Definition
-
A coulter, also known as a colter, is a cutting blade that is part of a plow or a cultivator utilized in agricultural practices. Specifically, it is a horizontal metal piece typically positioned at the front of a plowshare or a cultivator's main body, just above the ground surface. The primary function of a coulter is to create a furrow in the soil by cutting through the vegetation and earth ahead of the plowshare.
Typically, a coulter consists of a sharp-edged, disk-shaped blade made of steel or iron. It is affixed to a perpendicular shaft that is connected to the plow frame or cultivator. As the agricultural machinery advances, the rotating coulter cuts through any existing groundcover, such as roots, plants, grass, or weeds. By removing this surface vegetation and slicing through the soil, the coulter helps to create a clean and defined furrow in which the plow or cultivator will operate effectively.
The design of the coulter blade can vary depending on the specific agricultural practice and soil conditions. It may feature different shapes, sizes, or serrated edges, optimizing its cutting ability for various purposes. Overall, the utilization of a coulter enhances the efficiency and productivity of plowing or cultivating tasks by ensuring proper ground preparation and enabling the subsequent agricultural process to proceed smoothly.
