USE
The roller controls working depth and levels and packs the seedbed behind the machine.
The EL 131 CULTITILLER or CULTIPLOW is a very versatile machine offering a wide range of applications :
- turning in stubble
- soil preparation after ploughing
- and in some cases, direct soil preparation without ploughing.
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY OPERATION ON THE MACHINE, STOP THE TRACTOR
ENGINE, REMOVE IGNITION KEY AND WAIT FOR ALL ROTATING PARTS TO STOP
BEFORE LEAVING THE TRACTOR.
Clod size should be different depending on the job to
be done.
The following features determine clod size :
- Choice of rotor (either POWER TILLLER,
CULTITILLER or CULTIPLOW )
- Rotor speed
- Working depth
- Hood position (Q). Hood is adjusted by means of
spring rods (T) and handles (P) (photo 13).
- Hood extenstions (R) in place or removed.
- Forward speed.
- Number of passes.
To obtain fine clods :
- High rotor speed
- Hood (Q) lowered
- Low forward speed
- Choice of the rotor in accordance with given work
conditions :
. CULTITILLER rotor with angled blades
. CULTITILLER rotor with forged points if conditions are extremely difficult
. CULTIPLOW rotor with curved blades : a greater shattering effect to get even finer clods.
. POWER TILLER rotor with "three pairs of blades per flange".
To obtain coarser clods :
- Low rotor speed
- Hood (Q) raised
- Higher forward speed
- Choice of the rotor in accordance with given work conditions ( CULTITILLER, CULTIPLOW or POWER
TILLER with "2 pairs of blades per flange").
EL 131 CULTITILLER or CULTIPLOW
With the EL 131 CULTITILLER or CULTIPLOW , clods are shattered vertically without modifying their natural
structure : not too many clods, nor too much fine soil !
Points are spirally mounted, working and aerating the ground over the entire rotor width ; no panning. They engage
into the ground with a digging action without risk of gathering up vegetable residue.
