USE
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 (rotational frequency)
- Working depth
- Hood position.
- Position of the flap.
- Forward speed.
- Number of passes.
The rear hood/flap unit must be set to ensure that there is no risk of it touching the roller
during work.
To obtain fine clods :
- High rotor speed (rotational frequency)
- Hood (Q) lowered (figure 20, page 19)
- Set the position of flap (R) in relation to the working depth to ensure that it performs its function of levelling (figure
20, page 19)
- Low forward speed
- Choice of the rotor in accordance with given work conditions :
. CULTITILLER rotor with angled blades
. 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 (rotational frequency)
- Hood (Q) raised (figure 21, page 19)
- Set the position of flap (R) in relation to the working depth to ensure that it performs its function of levelling (figure
21, page 19)
- 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 142 CULTITILLER or CULTIPLOW
With the EL 142 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. The angle at which the blades
of the CULTITILLER rotor enter the ground has the effect of a pickaxe. The “trailing” position of the blades in
CULTIPLOW version eliminates nearly all risks of clogging and building up of plant residues.
The roller controls working depth and levels and packs the seedbed behind the machine.
The EL 142 CULTITILLER or CULTIPLOW is a very versatile machine offering a wide range of appli-
cations :
- turning in stubble
- soil preparation after ploughing
- and in some cases, direct soil preparation without ploughing.
