Cultro TC

HORSCH Maschinen GmbH Products Tillage | Cultro TC

The Cultro TC is a knife roller that excels due to an excellent work rate while the fuel consumption is very low. The double knives ensure an optimum crushing effect.

Knife roller with optimum crushing effect and utmost stability due to fixed knives 

  • Flexibility with 3-point linkage. The Cultro 3, 5 and 6 TC can either be mounted in the front or in the rear.
  • 3-row heavy harrow to distribute organic material, to produce fine soil or to comb out weeds and grass. Available for Cultro 5, 6, 9, 12 and 18 TC – closed rotor design
  • Roller bodies with a diameter of 300 mm for maximum rotational speed
  • Due to the helical knife rollers, there are no uncultivated areas between the knife sections.

The range of application of the double knife roller Cultro TC is very wide. The horsepower requirement is extremely low. The crushing effect of the knives is excellent, e.g. in rape or silage maize stubble or in catch crops. In the field, the entire weight of the frame is transferred  on to the roller bodies. This is an essential advantage with regard to the crushing quality of organic material.

Optimum crushing with minimum movement of the soil

  • Optimum crushing of harvest residues
  • High work rate due to low horsepower requirement and an operational speed of up to 20 km/h
  • Low wear as the knives fit tightly to the roller body for maximum stability
  • The machine is cushioned with rubber suspension. This protects the machine and prevents it from bouncing.
  • Depending on the model, a heavy harrow is available as an option for an optimum straw distribution.

Features

Double knife roller unit

  • Double knife roller body with 6 knives per rotor
  • Rotor diameter of 30 cm for high rotational speed and optimum crushing effect
  • Two counter-rotating rotors for a theoretical cutting length of 14 cm
  • Fixed knives for maximum stability

Due to the massive bearings and the fixed knives, the double knife roller is extremely stable. Due to the oscillating suspension, the knife roller can optimally adapt to unevenness and ensures a reliable cutting.

RollFlex packer

  • Deep consolidation with loose soil surface
  • High levelling capacity due to intermediate levelling tine
  • Self-cleaning, without scrapers
  • High operational reliability

The RollFlex packer guarantees high reliability on changing soil types even in wet conditions. Due to the deep consolidation, excessively loose soil is compacted, clods are crushed. The result is an optimum environment with the optimum drying conditions.

RollPack packer

  • Steel ring roller with a diameter of 55 cm
  • Deep strip consolidation
  • Flexible conditions of use
  • Weight per m working width: 125 kg

The RollPack packer is ideal for light and medium sites. Due to the good consolidation and the rigid ring elements the range of use is very wide.

RingFlex packer

  • High contact area due to 7 cm wide ring elements
  • Additionally mixes in organic material
  • Can be converted to a winter packer
  • Weight per m working width: 120 kg

The RingFlex packer impresses due to its excellent load-carrying capacity on light and medium soils. Moreover, it guarantees a good consolidation. Depending on the conditions, it can also be used as a winter packer by removing individual rings.

Additional Features

Following tool

  • Depending on the model, there are different following tool options
  • Option: 3-row harrow
  • Various packer options
  • Additional weights for hardest conditions

Depending on the model, there are different equipment options for the Cultro TC. This guarantees a wide range of applications and an optimum adaption to the respective soil.
