A field cultivator is designed for seedbed preparation and weed control, using multiple shanks to loosen soil and incorporate residue. A sweep plow, also known as a blade plow, uses wide V-shaped blades to cut weeds below the soil surface and conserve moisture. Both are essential John Deere implements for efficient field management.

Purchasing a used John Deere field cultivator or sweep plow at auction can offer significant cost savings without compromising on quality. Purple Wave's no-reserve auctions ensure transparent pricing, and John Deere's reputation for durability means these implements often retain their value and performance even after years of use.

Purple Wave provides detailed listings with multiple photos and condition reports for each item. Look for signs of wear on critical components like shanks, sweeps, or blades. Check the frame for any damage or repairs. Our customer service team can also answer specific questions about the equipment's history and maintenance records.

Consider factors such as your field size, soil type, and typical crop rotation. Larger models cover more ground quickly but require more powerful tractors. Some models offer adjustable gang angles or hydraulic depth control for greater versatility. Also, consider the availability of replacement parts and local dealer support for the specific model you're interested in.

Purple Wave carefully inspects and documents each piece of equipment before listing. We provide detailed condition reports, multiple high-resolution photos, and sometimes video walkarounds. Our no-reserve policy means sellers are motivated to present equipment accurately, as final prices are determined solely by bidder interest.

Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance. Key tips include: regularly inspecting and replacing worn sweeps or blades, keeping all bolts and fasteners tight, lubricating moving parts as per the manufacturer's schedule, and storing the implement in a covered area when not in use. Always refer to the John Deere operator's manual for model-specific maintenance guidelines.

• Compare models and widths: John Deere offers various models (e.g., 960, 1010, 1060) with different working widths. Choose based on your acreage and tractor size.

• Evaluate hydraulic systems: Test lift, fold, and leveling functions. Look for any leaks or worn hoses.
• Examine attachments: Many units come with harrows (spike tooth or tine). Ensure they're in good condition and properly adjusted.
