Depth guidance
Precise depth control
Precise depth control is essential for maintaining the required working depth of the whole machine. This is especially important when aiming to cut through the soil as shallow and evenly as possible. The PLANO ensures this using the depth control wheels at the front, together with the rear roller.
Clever solution
To adjust the rear roller to match the depth wheels at the front, without having to adjust the roller again, the change in setting at the jockey wheels is transferred to the rear roller by a linkage rod. This ensures that the rear roller is automatically and precisely adjusted in tandem with the jockey wheels so that the PLANO is always parallel to the ground. While increasing operating convenience it also prevents setting errors.
Fully hydraulic for maximum convenience
The optimum cultivation depth requires precise and fine tuning, especially during shallow tillage. Depth adjustment on the PLANO is fully hydraulic for fast adjustment to different working depths and maximum convenience. The clearly readable scale on the right-hand jockey wheel helps find the correct setting.
Single jockey wheels
The PLANO is fitted with jockey wheels integrated into the tine section as standard. This not only guarantees the most compact design possible for the shallow cultivator, but also enables a selection of additional tillage tools to be mounted in front. The two individual jockey wheels are 340/55-16 and have an implement profile.
Dual jockey wheels
The optional dual jockey wheels provide impressive performance with double the surface area of contact. Especially in areas with light soils and soils with a low load-bearing capacity, the dual jockey wheels really come into a class of their own. In addition, these jockey wheels are positioned in front of the tine section, so they track the ground that has not yet been cultivated. The four dual jockey wheels are fitted with the same 340/55-16 tyres as the single jockey wheels.
