Rotary cultivator KX
KX rotary cultivators can be fitted with forward position tool tines or
dragging tool tines, as required.
Tool tines in the forward position have a sifting
effect:
Coarse particles of soil are transported
further than fine particles of soil.
The fine earth is concentrated in the lower
area of the tilled zone; the large particles of
soil remain at the surface and protect
against capping.
