RDJ: The cultivator is a shade less than 6" wide. There are 17 shanks spaced on 4" centers. These are on three tool bars.
Since the photo I've added gauge wheels at the back. If you drop this cultivator as deep as it will go, it will stop a 100, 130 or 140 on the spot. Before I added the gauge wheels, I'd get into trouble if rear tractor wheel went through a hollow. I designed the crumbler so I just hitch it behind. I didn't want to add a lot of weight by having crumbler mounted directly on back of cultivator.
I bought the shanks new, complete with clamp and point for just under $10. per shank. You have to watch the clamps you get with S-tines, some are designed to clamp tight on 1/2"x2" steel bar and some require 5/8"x2" to keep them tight. If I remember correctly it's the original Danish S-tines that use 1/2"x2 and US replacement that use 5/8"x2" My clamps are for 5/8"x2".
When I built this close to 20 years ago, the smallest factory S-tine cultivator was 8'. There weren't a lot of used one's on the market back then. I didn't feel like taking the torch to an 8' cultivator to make it 6'. Put it this way I built the whole cultivator for less than $500. I couldn't see paying $900. for an 8' I had to cut down then add a fast hitch fork.
I see used 8', S-tine cultivators go in auctions today for $200. I wouldn't build one today, just go to a consignment auction, about the only guy your bidding against is scrap dealer, he has a percise cut off.
