Are the cutting coulters on the front of the Till-Ease Model 543 Chisel Plow / Field Cultivator disk blades?
No. The Till-Ease Model 543 is equipped with straight blades. These blades are used primarily for cutting surface plant debris. This is a necessary feature to help prevent unwanted plugging or hair pinning around the rear shanks where the tillage work is occurring. A secondary function of these blades is similar to a disk blade in helping to reduce clod size on secondary passes. A straight blade is like a knife edge and takes much less pressure to penetrate the ground than a cupped disk blade.
