Bareco Ground Engagement Tools: Cultivator Points, S Tynes and Combine Points
Posted by Uniclamp on
Last updated June 2026
Ground engagement tools — cultivator points, tynes and combine points — are high-wear items. They work directly in the soil under load and abrasion, and replacing them at the right time maintains soil penetration, fuel efficiency and seeding accuracy. Running worn points costs more in fuel and reduced performance than the replacement parts themselves.
Bareco 9998 Series ground engagement tools cover universal cultivator points, combine-cultivator points for seeding machinery, and S tynes with associated clamps and points for cultivation implements. All are available to order online through Uniclamp, stocked and dispatched through the Bareco network with delivery to any Australian address.

Universal Cultivator Points
Universal cultivator points suit a wide range of cultivation machinery. Because there is no universal standard across manufacturers, identification requires five measurements from the existing point or the implement shank. Ordering on appearance alone risks getting the wrong part.
How to Identify Your Cultivator Point
Measure the following five dimensions on your existing point:
- A — Overall length (tip to top of point)
- B — Width at the widest point
- C — Thickness
- D — Lead: distance from bolt hole centre to point tip
- E — Hole centre spacing (where two bolt holes are present)
Match all five dimensions against the table below. If the worn point is too damaged to measure accurately, take the same measurements from the implement shank or foot. If you are still unsure, call 1300 027 886 with your implement make and model.
Available Sizes
| Part No. | A (length) | B (width) | C (thickness) | D (lead) | E (hole spacing) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B4050 | 280mm | 50mm | 8mm | 50mm | 45–50mm | Light tillage |
| B4065 | 280mm | 64mm | 8mm | 50mm | 45–57mm | Light tillage, wider cut |
| B7705 | 300mm | 38mm | 12mm | 90mm | 45–57mm | Medium-heavy tillage |
| B7706 | 300mm | 38mm | 12mm | 90mm | 50mm | Medium-heavy tillage |
| B9705 | 300mm | 38mm | 12mm | 90mm | 50mm | — |
| B9706 | 300mm | 38mm | 16mm | 90mm | 50mm | Heavier soils |
| B9707 | 300mm | 50mm | 16mm | 90mm | 50mm | Heavier soils, wider cut |
| B9708 | 300mm | 64mm | 16mm | 90mm | 50mm | Heavy tillage, maximum width |
| B9709 | 300mm | 75mm | 19mm | 0mm (flat) | 50mm | Flat/weed knife — shallow cultivation, inter-row weeding |
Points with 12mm and 16mm thickness are suited to heavier tillage in hard or compacted soils. The B9709 flat point is a weed knife configuration — used for shallow cultivation and inter-row weeding rather than deep penetration, with no leading tip angle.

Combine-Cultivator Points
Combine-cultivator points are used on seeding and tillage machinery — combines, air seeders and similar equipment where the point opens a furrow for seed or fertiliser placement. The Bareco 9998 Series combine points are manufactured from high-grade carbon steel with zone hardening: a harder wear face for extended point life, with a tougher body that resists brittle fracture in rocky conditions.
A protective dimple on the point face covers the bolt head, reducing soil flow disruption and protecting the bolt from abrasion. The standard bolt hole is 7/16". For older machines with 3/8" bolt holes, the B8610 step-head bolt adapts these points without redrilling.
Available Sizes
| Part No. | Width | Common Application |
|---|---|---|
| CP1100 | 100mm (4") | Narrow row spacing, precision seeding |
| CP1125 | 125mm (5") | Standard row spacing |
| CP1150 | 150mm (6") | Wide row, broadacre seeding |
| CP1175 | 175mm (7") | Maximum width, heavy broadacre |
Mounting Bolts
- B8610 — Step-head bolt: 7/16" head, 3/8" thread, 43 x 10mm. Pack of 10. Suits older machines with 3/8" bolt holes — no redrilling required.
- B8640 — Standard bolt: 7/16" head, 3/8" thread, 46 x 10mm. Pack of 10.
Select the point width to suit your machinery's row spacing and seeding requirements. If you are replacing points on older equipment with 3/8" bolt holes, order B8610 step-head bolts to avoid redrilling the shank.

S Tynes
S tynes are the spring-loaded shanks that carry cultivator and tillage points across cultivation implements, chisel ploughs and scarifiers. The spring action absorbs rocks and hard objects, protecting the frame from impact damage. When the tyne body cracks or fatigues, or the point wears beyond use, replacing individual components is more practical than replacing the whole implement frame.
Bareco supplies S tyne bodies in two clearance heights, tyne clamps in multiple frame section sizes, and separate points — reversible and sweep types — for ongoing maintenance.
S Tyne Bodies
| Part No. | Section | Clearance | Point Included | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B4051 | 10 x 32mm | 390mm (standard) | Yes | Light-medium cultivation |
| B3912 | 12 x 32mm | 390mm (standard) | Yes | Medium-heavy cultivation |
| B7428 | 12 x 45mm | 500mm (high clearance) | No | Heavy residue or rocky ground |
| B7429 | Helper spring | — | — | Suits high clearance tynes in heavy conditions |
Standard clearance (390mm) suits normal cultivation conditions. High clearance (500mm under-frame) is the correct choice for heavy stubble or residue situations, rocky paddocks, or where the standard tyne is bottoming out and causing frame damage. The B7429 helper spring provides additional resistance for the high clearance tyne in demanding conditions.
Tyne Clamps
Clamps attach the tyne body to the implement frame. Confirm your frame section size before ordering — clamps are not interchangeable between frame sizes.
| Part No. | Frame Section | Clearance Type |
|---|---|---|
| B4075 | 50 x 50mm | Standard |
| B33 | 50 x 15mm | Standard |
| B43 | 65 x 65mm | Standard |
| B46 | 50 x 50mm | High clearance |
| B44 | 50 x 50mm | High clearance with helper tyne |
| B8430 | 65 x 65mm | High clearance |
| B7430 | 65 x 65mm | High clearance with helper tyne |
Reversible Points
Reversible points double service life — when one face wears, flip the point to expose fresh steel. Three sizes are available:
- B3740 — 190 x 37 x 6mm
- B3741 — 210 x 40 x 6mm
- B365 — 260 x 52 x 6mm
Sweep Points
Sweep points have a wide, low-angle profile suited to shallow cultivation and weed control between rows rather than deep penetration:
- B7432 — 105mm sweep
- B7433 — 150mm sweep
Point Bolts (Grade 8.8)
- B7427 — 10 x 38mm, pack of 10
- B7431 — 10 x 45mm, pack of 10
Grade 8.8 bolts are specified for point retention — do not substitute with lower-grade hardware in hard soil conditions. A bolt failure under load can result in point loss and implement damage.

Choosing the Right Replacement
Cultivator points: Measure all five dimensions (A, B, C, D, E) on the existing point or shank and match to the table above. Point thickness (C dimension) indicates the application weight — 8mm for lighter cultivation, 12–16mm for heavier work, 19mm flat for weed knife applications.
Combine points: Select by width to suit your row spacing. For older machines with 3/8" bolt holes, use B8610 step-head bolts to avoid redrilling.
S tynes: Identify the frame section size first — this determines the correct clamp. Then choose standard or high clearance based on conditions. Order tyne body, clamp, point and Grade 8.8 bolts as a set for a complete replacement.
Call 1300 027 886 if your dimensions don't match the table or you need help identifying the right part for your implement make and model.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I identify the right universal cultivator point?
Measure five dimensions from your existing point or implement shank: A (overall length), B (width at widest), C (thickness), D (lead from bolt hole to tip), and E (hole centre spacing). Match all five to the table above. Ordering on appearance alone without measuring risks getting the wrong point. If in doubt, call 1300 027 886 with your implement make and model.
What is the difference between standard and high clearance S tynes?
Standard clearance tynes have 390mm of clearance under the implement frame — suitable for normal cultivation conditions. High clearance tynes have 500mm of clearance and are the correct choice for heavy stubble or residue, rocky paddocks, or where standard tynes are bottoming out under the frame. Match the tyne clamp to your frame section size and clearance type.
What does zone hardening mean on combine points?
Zone hardening produces a harder wear surface on the cutting face of the point while keeping the body of the point tougher and more impact-resistant. This reduces the risk of brittle fracture in rocky conditions while extending the service life of the cutting edge — a better result than through-hardening the entire point uniformly.
Can I use combine points on older machines with 3/8" bolt holes?
Yes. The B8610 step-head bolt has a 7/16" head that suits the standard bolt hole in the point, but a 3/8" thread that suits the older shank hole. This means you can fit current Bareco combine points to older machinery without redrilling the shank.
Why use reversible points rather than standard points?
Reversible points have a symmetrical profile that allows the point to be flipped when one wear face is exhausted, effectively doubling the service life of each point. On implements with many tynes, this reduces replacement frequency and cost over a season. Grade 8.8 bolts must be used — lower-grade bolts can fail under load in hard soils.
