The TERRADISC T can be equipped with a knife roller as a pre-tool to cover an even greater range of applications. Possible applications include seedbed preparation, stubble cultivation of cereals, oil seed rape, sunflowers and maize to the incorporation of cover crops. The additional shredding effect eliminates the need for prior processing and shredding of the stubble. This promotes the incorporation of organic matter as well as its microbial decomposition. If the knife roller is not required on a particular job, it can be folded away completely so that it no longer contacts the soil.
The knives on the leading knife roller are arranged in a spiral. This ensures it rotates smoothly because it is in constant contact with the ground to produce a uniform load on the cutting edge. The roller diameter of 350 mm ensures a high speed of rotation. These features deliver consistent chopping quality and high cutting intensity, resulting in a powerful shredding effect. In order to achieve the required effect even on dry and hard soils, the depth adjustment is hydraulic. This means that it is possible to react quickly to different site conditions.
