%X In this study, chemical analysis, pulling, hardness test results and spectral analysis of the different cultivator shares of cultivator producers in Amasya and  orum provinces were evaluated and test results were compared with relevant Turkish Standards. For experiments, the cultivator shares were choosen randomly from A,B, C and D cultivator producers and classified. Chemical analysis revealed SAE 1030, C60, C30 tempered stell types and C10 carburizing steel materials respectively for A, B, C and D cultivator shares. Spectral analysis indicated that cultivator were mainly included medium-carbon steels. All cultivar shares failed to meet recommended Rockwell hardness value of 49 HRC. While the highest hardness was observed in A-1 and C-1 narrow shares with 39.1 HRC, the lowest value was seen in D-2 duck-foot share with 72.88 HRB. According to pulling tests, cultivator shares were found to be complying with relevant reference values indicated in standards.
