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, with compression spring tines 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.

Overview of compression spring tines

• No line deviation

• Consistent working depth

• Exact overlap

• Stone protection with 200 kg triggering pressure

• 19 cm Trip clearance

• Reliable working results down to a depth of 15 cm

Crumbling effect

The vibration of the tines separates the roots of the plants much better from the soil adhering to them. This causes the plants to dry out so that regrowth is prevented.

The proportion of fine tilth created by the oscillation of the spiral spring tines is higher than with rigid tines. This improves the germination conditions for the next crop when the seedbed is prepared. Moreover, inoculant bacteria are activated and organic material is better incorporated into the soil. This accelerates rotting and microbial decomposition.

Smooth running and self-cleaning

The oscillation of the tines makes it easier for the tines and shares to slice through the soil. In hard soils and shallow working depths, the spring tine can deviate slightly to the rear and to the side. In more challenging conditions with high volumes of organic matter, the oscillation effect has a positive influence on soil flow and the self-cleaning of the tines.

Overview of spiral spring tines

• Oscillate to produce a higher proportion of tilth

• Remove soil from plant roots better

• Lower pulling power requirement

• Self-cleaning tines

• Less in-line stability than compression spring tines

• For light to medium soil and working depths to 12 cm
