Compression spring tines

These rigid tines are protected against overloading by a compression spring. If the tines collide with obstacles, the stone protection system responds at a triggering force above 200 kg. When it is triggered, the tine has a trip clearance of up to 19 cm in order to create sufficient clearance over large rocks and other obstacles.


Straight down the line

The outstanding advantage of these pre-tensioned tines is that they work in a straight line no matter what. They are configured in such a way that lateral movement is prevented, thanks also to the width of the clamped mounting brackets. As a result, the tines and shares always stay in position, and yet there are no blockages from plant residues. This characteristic enables precise, full surface movement during reliable shallow work. By maintaining the set working depth, the full potential of ultra-shallow tillage can be utilised. In addition, the overlap is constant with duck foot shares to ensure complete movement of the soil surface across the full width of the machine.


For minimum depth

For stubble cultivation and simultaneous control of problematic weeds, the PLANO moves the full surface area of the soil even at a minimum working depth. As a consequence, only a few roots remain on the above-ground plant material, making further growth or regrowth virtually impossible. The plants inevitably perish. This effect is also put to good use when incorporating greening crops and cover crops.
