JIM, I see your cultivator is equipped with what we Iowans called "tines" or "spring tines". I don"t recall seeing them much.
THE RED"s cultivator has "sweeps" on the rear, maybe some on the front also but can"t see them.
Our cultivators had "shovels" next to the shields, and they were for left or right, depending which side of the shovel was cut off so it wouldn"t throw too much dirt on the young corn plants. Sweeps were basically wide shovels, they had wider wings and were better at getting out more weeds.
Of all the work done with tractors, that cultivating is the thing I miss the least! It was always so darn slow so you couldn"t get out of the dust and the weather was hot.
"Laying by" cultivating was more fun....anybody know what that term means? I"m thinking if you are less than 50 yrs old, you might not have a clue. This was when fuel was most likely to leak out the tank due to the hard bouncing.
