Tine weeders are light tillage tools used for blind cultivation and after crop emergence. While they're more expensive than rotary hoes or harrows, some farmers prefer them for early season weed control because they can take out weeds in more of the field due to their close tine spine spacing.
In this video, PFI farmers share their experience with when and how they use tine weeders in organic corn and soybean production to control weeds; they discuss both Treffler and Einbock tine weeders; the adjustments possible; and the settings they use.

i was wondering how these things worked and this video was a godsend, i appreciated the in depth explanations as they really helped understand the ins and outs of the machines.

We had a neighbor in the 1950's that used a tiny Weeder to because it was so wide used it to break the crust of large water holes to help dry them out in the spring

How is this not tearing up crops when the video clearly shows the crops 6" tall. ? I usually till 3 times a few days apart and then plant how is this better ?

The crop is fairly tough at 6". The tines may pull a few out if it's set really aggressive or you are going too fast. The weeds, as long as you've been able to do a pre-emergent pass, will be just germinating/ white thread stage so are easily disturbed and killed by the tines, while the crop is left.
