You might be able to replace the sweeps with chisel points for deeper cultivation or breaking up the soil prior to tilling.
I don't think the sweeps will replace a tiller to work up ground in the spring. Usually used to sweep through worked-up and planted ground to kill weeds and as mentioned, hill up around plants.
Oh ok, so it's to mound it like corn rows? That type of thing? Using it would be for just a small 1/4 acre or so family garden.
There's an optimum speed you travel at that works best with a cultivator with sweeps on. IIRC we liked to go around 5 1/2 to 6 mph, back when I was on the farm.
