Abstract
Abstract A one-piece rolling fender having a curved central portion with teeth extending outwardly therefrom, each tooth having a concave forward edge and a strengthening rib, which is inclined rearwardly when said tooth contacts the ground, there being a connecting portion between the teeth. This fender shape prevents too much dirt from being thrown up on a plant row by a cultivator, and the fender itself throws the proper amount of dirt up onto a plant row to smoother weeds.
