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.
