The Cultivation King
1 | Precision Cultivator
adaptability
The Precision Cultivator can be
equipped with alternate points
130mm and 60mm. This allows
different working results and
depths. Likewise the double STS
rollers can be removed and the
cultivated ground can be left in
ridges to allow the weather to
work.
2 | Tine Penetration in dry
hard conditions
The Precision Cultivator is
equipped with 16mm heavy-duty
leaf spring tines. The reversible
point is 100mm wide and offers
four wear possibilities. In hard dry
conditions the leaf spring allows
the point angle to become steeper
giving a more aggressive soil entry
angle. The tine vibration breaks
the soil and the straw/soil mixing
commences. The heavy-duty leaf
spring is extremely robust and long
lasting.
3 | Precise working
depth selection
The working depth is selected
hydraulically using 2 (4on 6.60
& 7.5m models) depth wheels at
the front of the machine. These
depth wheels are linked to the rear
reconsolidation roller. This way the
precise working depth is even over
the whole width and length of the
machine.
The high tine density, 23 on the 3m
Precision Cultivator, ensures all the
soil is moved. The tines are spread
over 8 tine bars ensuring block
free work. Any unevenly spread
straw has the opportunity to be
re-distributed evenly through the
working depth.

dation
Even straw distribution: The aim is to mix the post harvest residues
evenly in the top 50-150mm. This way nature, through the microbiological
activity and the actions of worms, degrades the straw. This increases
the humus content and significantly improves the soil quality. Having
mixed the straw the soil needs reconsolidating to give weed, seeds and
volunteers good soil contact and to reduce the ability of slugs to thrive.
When good straw mixing takes place, the danger of fungal disease and
damage to the capillary structure is reduced.
The Köckerling PrecisionCultivator has been developed to work at an
overall shallow depth mixing the post harvest residue evenly levelling
the work and reconsolidating the cultivated ground.

e working
The high weight of the Precision
Cultivator aids penetration even
in hard, dry conditions. The angle
of heavy spring tine changes in
hard conditions bringing a more
aggressive working angle.
4 | Cost reduction
The target of reducing crop
establishment costs, reducing the
time taken and to improve the
humus content in the soil have
meant that stubble cultivations have
become much more important.
Even harvest residue incorporation
at shallow depth and reconsolidation
of the worked ground to produce
the best possible chit therefore
making chemical elimination
more effective are also important.
Improving soil quality by increasing
the humus content in the upper soil
strata, by creating an environment
where worms flourish, all combine
to meet the demanding targets of
modern cereals growing.
5 | Optimum Reconsolidation
Having moved all the soil and evenly
mixed the post harvest residues it
is crucial that the moved ground is
reconsolidated.
Reconsolidation creates good
weed, seed and volunteer soil
contact, moisture is retained and
slug control is aided.
The Precision Cultivator incorporates
a 530mm diameter soil-tosoil
roller (STS) to reconsolidate
the moved ground. The STS roller
has two rows of self-cleaning rings.
The rings are constructed from ‘U’
channels.
The open ‘U’ channel fills with soil
and the friction between the soil in
the ring and the ground keep the
ring turning.
A row of chisel scrapers limits the
amount of soil in the U channel.
The weight and strength of the STS
gives a press effect even in stony
conditions.
6 | Diagonal Working
Working at an angle to the tramlines
gives the best elimination and
the optimum straw mixing. Uneven
straw lumps and concentrations
are carried by the eight tine bars
for some distance aiding the
mixing effect. When working after
sugar beet, maize and potatoes the
levelling effect of the Precision
Cultivator is particularly beneficial.
7 | Fast road transport
The Precision Cultivator is a trailed
machine using the tractors link
arms. Being fully trailed, less
ground pressure from the tractor
wheels, compared to mounted
implements is exerted particularly
when turning on the headland.
8 | Block free working
By using eight tine bars the tine
spacing side by side is 1m and
80cm diagonally. At the same time
the overall tine spacing leaves
15mm between neighbouring
points even though one point may
be on the front tine bar and the
neighbour on the rear tine bar. The
result is fast block free work.

Point Wear
In comparison with winged points, the
wear on the 100mm reversible point
is much lower. The soil boil effect from
the heavy-duty leaf spring tine and the
possibility to have four wear positions
(as the point reduces in length) reduce
the operating costs.
This is particularly noticeable in a dry
year such as 2003.
Attachment to the tractor drawbar
Standard equipment for the Precision
Cultivator is a cat 3 link drawbar, this
gives the tightest turning circle possible.

Seedbed preparation
The Precision Cultivator is just as
effective after the plough.
One pass produces a level seedbed
with a firm top to drill into.
Again the on the move hydraulic depth
adjustment takes care of varying
conditions.
For tractors such as articulated or
tracked or without hydraulic linkage
draw bar fitment is possible.
This fitting retains the movement
available in linkage fitment.
