Would a Yanmar YM2610D pull a 4 or 5 foot 6 or 10 tine cultivator?

Would a Yanmar YM2610D pull a 4 or a 5 foot 6 or 10 tine S-Tine Cultivator?
I'm pleased with the performance of this little tractor with a 5' slasher and with an 8 disk 4' offset harrows .
However before I buy a cultivator for it I'd like to hear what someone else has to say.
The ground is not particularly heavy going.

It would pull either. Note this little tractor. S-Tine Cultivator - YouTube

Field Cultivators and S-tine Cultivators have similar parabolic shaped tines. However S-tine Cultivators are not called upon to reach 12" to 14" depths, as are Field Cultivators.

The "rule" for Field Cultivators is 5-horsepower per tine with 4-WD, which works perfectly.

I would think 3-horsepower per tine for S-tine Cultivators with points would be ample.


The Oakwind S-tine Cultivator in the video looks like it is penetrating 4", with the depth controlled by the two gauge wheels. Not sure how realistic shallow 4" secondary tillage is for most users. (Pretty dry soil for a promotional video.) More depth would generate more draft force resistance.

I have a heavier S-tine Cultivator equipped with shovels. Pulling shovels requires much more power/traction than points.

Thank you Winston.
If that little tractor handles it so effortlessly I'm worrying over nothing.

Thank you Jeff, (Winston).

This below is what I'm looking at.

I'm just looking for some guidance choosing between widths of 4' and 5' (it also comes in 6')
What works for others. The advert says from 20HP to 40HP.

5ft "S" Tine Cultivator

You probably want Cultivator WORKING WIDTH sufficiently wide that the outside tines will obliterate tractor tire tracks.
