Abstract
A cultivator point assembly includes an adaptor having a front and a rear end, and intended to be mounted to a cultivator machine at an upper end and having a foot projecting from a lower end. A cultivator point is adapted to be engaged with the adaptor and has a mounting section and a forward ground-working edge. An aperture in the mounting section is adapted to receive the foot of the adaptor in a first reversed position, whereafter the cultivator point is rotated 180° relative to the adaptor into an intermediate position in which the ground working edge is in a forward facing position relative to the adaptor, and is then moved rearwardly relative to the adaptor into a working position. A stop in use prevents unintentional detachment of the cultivator point from the adaptor.

A cultivator point assembly including:
- an adaptor having a front end, a rear end, an upper end and a foot projecting from a lower end;
- a cultivator point coupled to the adaptor and having a mounting section and a forward ground-working edge;
- an aperture in the mounting section, the foot of the adaptor extending through the aperture in a first reversed position, whereafter when the cultivator point is rotated 180° relative to the adaptor into an intermediate position in which the ground working edge is in a forward facing position relative to the adaptor, the cultivator point is movable rearwardly relative to the adaptor into a working position;
- and
- a stop, including a first structure on the cultivator point and a second structure on the adaptor, wherein one of the first or second structures comprises a releasable detent that engages the other of the first or second structures to prevent the cultivator point unintentionally moving into the reversed position.
