Levelling and crumbling or cutting

Whether distributing straw and harvest residues, levelling and crumbling the soil, or intensively cutting up organic material: The optional leading tillage tools handle the first step in soil cultivation to provide the tine system with optimum conditions for cutting and mixing. This expands the range of applications covered by the PLANO. Whether seedbed preparation, stubble cultivation or turning in a cover crop, you can react individually to the prevailing conditions. The integration of the front jockey wheels into the tine section makes for a compact design that allows additional tools to be mounted in front of the tine system.

Leading knife roller

The PLANO combined with the 350 mm diameter knife roller stands for high operational reliability and is all set for a wide range of applications. The knife roller demonstrates its cutting effect particularly well when there are high volumes of organic matter, such as oil seed rape stubble or a cover crop. The additional cutting effect improves incorporation, significantly accelerates the organic decomposition process and makes it more difficult for harmful organisms to overwinter as a result.

Hydraulic adjustment allows the working depth to be set conveniently or the entire knife roller to be pivoted away from the work area. Rubber elements protect the knife roller against overload and impact with large stones. The spiral arrangement of the knives ensure the roller rotates smoothly because it is in constant contact with the ground and produces a high load on the cutting edge. The knives are made of a special low-wear Hardox steel to ensure cost effective operation and to preserve the cutting edge on the knives.

Front board breaks up clumps

To create an even more level seedbed and optimum tilth when preparing seedbeds on ploughed land, the front board can be selected as an optional extra. This is equipped with sturdy drag tines that crush even coarse clumps. Adjustable and replaceable wear plates are fitted to the tines.

If the front board is not required, it can be folded away completely out of the working area so that it does not contact the soil. The front board is adjusted hydraulically.
