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

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

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

Point Wear<br />
In comparison with winged points, the<br />
wear on the 100mm reversible point<br />
is much lower. <strong>The</strong> soil boil effect from<br />
the heavy-duty leaf spring tine and the<br />
possibility to have four wear positions<br />
(as the point reduces in length) reduce<br />
the operating costs.<br />
This is particularly noticeable in a dry<br />
year such as 2003.<br />
Attachment to the tractor drawbar<br />
Standard equipment for the <strong>Precision</strong><br />
<strong>Cultivator</strong> is a cat 3 link drawbar, this<br />
gives the tightest turning circle possible.<br />
Your Dealer<br />
Seedbed preparation<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Precision</strong> <strong>Cultivator</strong> is just as<br />
effective after the plough.<br />
One pass produces a level seedbed<br />
with a firm top to drill into.<br />
Again the on the move hydraulic depth<br />
adjustment takes care of varying<br />
conditions.<br />
For tractors such as articulated or<br />
tracked or without hydraulic linkage<br />
draw bar fitment is possible.<br />
This fitting retains the movement<br />
available in linkage fitment.<br />
