Intended use of the TOP cultivator
The TOP cultivator is an all-purpose machine for shallow ploughing or used instead
of ploughing for:
•
shallow stubble cultivation (up to 15 cm) to mix post-harvest residues, stop soil
water evaporation, increase the growth of weeds and self-seeding plants, and
reduce ploughing resistance, or deep cultivation,
•
deep cultivation (up to 35 cm) to loosen cultivated soil, mix mineral and organic
fertilizers, and prevent mineralisation of humus in the ploughing soil.
The application of right and left side shields improves the degree of stubble mixing.
As a result, the concentration of phenol compounds affecting the growth of crops in the
following year in the crop rotation system is reduced. The application of the TOP cultivator
for deep cultivation eliminates the need of ploughing, and as such, this allows cost
reduction, eliminates the risk of excessively compacted soil, and helps to complete
farming work on time.
NOTE! The cultivator is designed exclusively for agricultural use. Use for
any other purpose will be construed as misuse and will void the warranty.
NOTE!
Failure to comply with the recommendations in these operating
instructions will be construed as misuse. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from the operation of the machine not in accordance with
its intended use.
