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.
Cultro TC
THE DOUBLE KNIFE ROLLER MINIMUM EFFORT FOR MAXIMUM HECTARE OUTPUT
What are the excelling features of the Cultro TC?
- Minimum effort for maximum acreage performance
- Operational speed up to 20 km/h
- When used in the field, the weight of the machine is completely on the knife roller
- Hydraulically adjustable heavy harrow to produce fine earth or to distribute organic matter
- The Cultro is ideal for crushing catch crop populations in spring or autumn as well as for ultra-shallow stubble cultivation in rape and in sunflowers.
- Extended range of use in silage maize stubble to fight the corn borer
- Counter-rotating arrangement of the rollers creates a cross-shaped working pattern
- The rollers are arranged over the whole working width. The diameter is 300 mm with 6 knives per roller for a very high rotational speed. This additionally increases the crushing effect.
- The knives are arranged diagonally on the roller to guarantee a constant distribution of the force.
- The knives rest against the rotor to guarantee highest stability.
- The whole system of the Cultro 12 TC is pretensioned hydraulically with up to 100 bar and hydraulically protected against overload
- As an overload protection the knife rollers are cushioned with rubber buffers.
- The double knife roller elements are oscillatingly suspended via a wide rubber bearing for an optimum adaption to the soil.
- Different configuration options like RingFlex packer or heavy harrow for Cultro 12 and 18 TC
- Different packer options for rear attachment for the Cultro 3 TC like RollFlex packer and RollPack packer
- Options for front and rear attachment for Cultro 3, 5 and 6 TC
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.
