Soil cultivation - Row dependent soil cultivation | FA 400

front cultivator, 4-row, loosening and shaping in front attachment

The front cultivator is used for the planting of potatoes, to form perfect ridges without compaction by the tractor wheels. In order to reduce the number of passes by tractors over the soil, the front mounted device is used in tandem with a suitable planting machine. The GRIMME tank system TS 420 is authorized for liquid seed dressing onto the seed potatoes and/or into the furrow. It is available with a volume of 2 x 200 litres.

Benefits

• Especially suitable for the combination with a potato planter in the tractor rear
• Spring loaded ridging bodies for stone protection
• Infinitely adjustable depth guidance by use of a carriage roller with a width of 2400 mm and a diameter of 450 mm
• Foldable main frame for a safe road transport
• Precise application of liquid chemicals and furrow treatment agent with the approved tank system type TS 420 with a volume of 2 x 200 litres
