Implement description
The NE series Nockering Roller is a trailed bed roller for seed bed preparation on previously ploug-
hed or similarly prepared soils; it is specially designed as a trailed implement for furrow subsoil
packers. As well as the crushing and soil recompaction action, it can achieve an erosion-inhibiting
seed bed structure with the selected ring shape.
In the standard version, individually exchangeable scraper tines ensure roller operation without
obstruction.
The Nockering Roller NE is suitable for use behind all standard configured furrow subsoil packers
of the UDP and DUPA series.
Retrofitting a trailed implement
It must generally be ensured when retrofitting a furrow subsoil packer with a Nockering Roller that the
working width of the roller exceeds that of the packer by at least 10 cm. In order to achieve a clean
working edge, it is advisable not to arrange the roller directly in the line of the packer but offset by
approx. 10 cm to the side facing away from the plough. This is achieved by arranging the pivot pin for
the roller drawbar out of centre accordingly. This is already the case for the furrow subsoil packers as
supplied from the factory.
It must be ensured for the selection of the drawbar length that for packers with catch arms, the
respective free catch arm depending on the version and adjustment can protrude considerably far
to the back. The drawbar length must be matched to the working width or the external dimensions
of the packer.
It must therefore strictly be ensured during the first use of the combination that the turning process
can be performed without obstruction at any time. Contact between packer and trailed implement
must always be prevented.
The semi-mounting of the trailed implement on the packer for transport purposes is possible without
hesitation for the single-furrow packers. However, this is strongly discouraged for third party makes
due to the different frame geometries and load action points.
