Introduction
1.1.
Characteristics and Technical Description of the Cultivator
The row crop cultivator with KULTIS liquid fertilizing is designed for inter-row cultivation of
maize and sunflower jointly with the application of liquid fertilizer into the zone of the plant roots.
The machine is designed as semi-carried. The working bodies are sweeps attached to massive
shanks. The individual shanks are attached to the frame using a parallel link hitch that together
with a land carrying wheel and protection spring or hydraulic plungers traces the surface along
the entire coverage of the machine and easy setting of the working depth. The working bodies
are alternative, such as chisels or coulters.
There are two rolling coulters located on the sides of the unit, ensuring perfect separation of
the processed strip of soil and protecting plants from damage caused by soil.
The sufficient dimension of shanks and sweeps provides good quality of work even in heavy
rocky soils. The cultivation unit is constructed so that the plant residues continue fulfilling their
soil-protective function on the surface of the soil. The cultivator is equipped with a plastic tank for
liquid fertilizer, a pump, filtration, filling and distributions that bring the liquid fertilizer under the
wings of the sweeps into the zone of the plant roots.
The frame of the cultivator with fertilizing consists of a combined section and it is equipped
with hydraulically controlled elements for unfolding from the transport position into the working
position. The working bodies are attached to the frame using clamps that allow setting the inter-
row distance from 70 cm to 75 cm. The frame includes a working platform for the operation of the
machine providing for simple filling and cleaning of the tank.
The drive and precise feeding within the range of 60 and 160 l/ha is provided mechanically
from the land carrying wheel. Liquid fertilizers may be applied during vegetation up to the height
of the growth of 40
– 50 cm.
The frame of the KULTIS machine provides for high travelling speed within the range of 8 and
12 km/h with emphasis on the proper function of the machine. A tractor with the power of 70 HP
is sufficient as the pulling vehicle.

The KULTIS machine is structurally designed as semi-mounted. The working coverage is 6 or
8 rows with a distance from 70 to 75cm. The transport width is three meters and the capacity of
the tank is 1,200L. Two external hydraulic tractor circuits are required for the control of the
working depth and for the change from the transport position to the working position. If the
machine is equipped with hydraulic down pressure, three external hydraulic tractor circuits are
required. The row crop cultivator is structurally designed for the working speed of 8
– 12 km/h
and therefore aggregation with a tractor with 70 HP is sufficient.
