Spring Tooth Cultivator: After a Vineyard has been disked, a cultivator is used to break the earth into smaller pieces for a leveller finish. This one, from the Vansickle farm of Jim Brown in St Catharines, was used from about 1900 to 1980 when it was given to the Johnson Family.
Horse Drawn Grapre Hoe: Grape Hoes would be drawn by horse through a vineyard, either pulling the earth away from the grapes or mounding it up to them in order to remove the weed growth. Modern grape hoes perform the same function today.
