Universal cultivator
HURRICANE

The 4-row tine arrangement of the universal cultivator guarantees good incorporation of straw and organic matter. Due to the spacious frame design risk of clogging is very limited even when working in fields with heavy, sticky soils and a high amount of organic matter. The frame clearance of up to approx. 83 cm / 32.70″ (depending on working depth) ensures sufficient space so the organic material can flow through (e.g. also in fields with a high amount of straw).

Hydraulic adjustment of the working depth is included in the standard specification. A scale shows the working depth. This ensures convenient adjustment and perfect setting of the desired working depth.
The optionally avaliable star discs are mounted on the parallelogram which carries the rear roller. If the working depth is changed, they do not have to be readjusted. To enable fine adjustment nevertheless, adjustment spindles are fitted to the levelling discs.

The universal cultivator comes with 130 mm / 5.12″ double diamond shares as standard. Optional wing shares (224 mm / 8.82″) can be mounted in combination with them. For more shallow operation or to ensure an even greater overlap, 250 mm / 9.84″ wide duckfoot sweeps incl. guide plates can be mounted. For deeper tillage, narrow shares (55 mm / 2.17″) are available. All sweeps are available with carbide metal.

In order to achieve an ideal working result, various different trailed weeder tines are required. With a total of 8 different rollers the ideal cultivator for various different conditions can be specified.

Overlapping duckfoot sweeps are needed to cut the full surface of the field.
250 mm / 9.84″ wide sweeps are available as an option. On 20 cm / 7.90″ line spacing an overlap of 50 mm / 1.97″ (25 %) is guaranteed with these sweeps (see graphic). This generous overlap ensures that the entire surface of the field is cultivated, even when the cultivator is set to a shallow working depth. This secures emerged weeds are controlled mechanically.

The modern and stable frame construction ensures an extremely robust machine. Thus, the universal cultivator is designed to be extremely durable and always produces excellent work results even after many seasons of use.

To make a cultivator a professional and user-friendly tool, the HURRICANE has been designed with lot of well-considered and practical detail solutions. The frame construction (tube in tube) and the combination of the different working tools make the universal cultivator a highly efficient tool for modern agriculture.

The special shape of the tine breaks up the soil, preventing smearing of the soil pores (other share types and widths available).

The universal cultivator is folded with two separate side wings (from model 420). This makes it easy to park the machine in a space-saving manner. By means of a hydraulic safety locking block, the HURRICANE locks automatically in working and transport position.

To meet different tractor sizes the HURRICANE is equipped with two mounting positions with bushings and anti-rotation pins on the lower links. Mounting category: CAT II up to 3 m / 9.80 ft., from 4.2 m / 13.80 ft. working width CAT III.

Deflector plates for interrupting the earth flow in the first row of tines directly behind the tractor, this prevents the tractor from serious soiling.

Perfect crumbling for medium-heavy soil.

Optimal crumbling on medium-heavy soil and good load-capacity on light soil.

High load capacity, good reconsolidation and best suited for very light soil.

Good crumbling, good levelling and reconsolidation as well as exact depth control. For medium-heavy soil, universally applicable.

On the ringpacker roller the distance between the rings is 12.5 cm / 4.9″, therefore it achieves reconsolidation in strips of 12.5 cm / 4.9″. Due to the wedge-shaped reconsolidation, the soil is compressed in the lower area and all cavities are closed, while the upper soil layer remains loose as well as a fine structure is maintained. Due to its high load-capacity, it is ideally suited for all soil types. Spring strippers between the rings prevent the roller from clogging.

Same as RP58 roller, but with ø 470 mm / 18.50″ and lower weight.

The nova roller achieves reconsolidation in strips with a distance of 17 cm / 6.70″. Through the U-profile rings, which deliberately fill with soil, soil rolls on soil. This very soil-friendly reconsolidation ensures a rough surface structure. Its high load-capacity makes it ideally suited for all soil types. Scrapers between the rings level the soil and prevent the roller from clogging.

The double nova roller has the same design as the single nova roller and works in a similar way. It offers the same advantages as the nova roller. The two interlocking steel rings allow the rollers to clean each other.

The diamond-shaped sweep with a width of 13 cm / 5.10″ is mounted as standard. Wing sweeps with a total width of 22.4 cm / 8.80″ can be added quickly and easily to these sweeps. With the wing sweeps, it is possible to cut through the entire surface at a low working depth.

The duckfoot sweep with guide plate is recommended for shallow cultivation. The duckfoot sweep with a width of 250 mm / 9.80″ guarantees in any case a full-surface cutting and is ideally suited for the first stubble cultivation. The volunteer grain and weed seeds are not buried, but emerge quickly and can easily be regulated. The guide plate ensures optimum mixing of the organic matter with soil.

The narrow share with a width of 5.5 cm / 2.20″ is used for deep tillage, soil loosening and incorporation of straw. They can be used at a working depth between 12 and 25 cm / 4.70 and 9.80″.

Carbide metal sweeps are available as an option for the HURRICANE. The carbide-tipped duckfoot, diamond shaped or narrow sweeps have got the following advantages:

• Sweeps keep their initial shape longer, resulting in a precise, sharp cut and better retraction in the soil
• Less force required thanks to persistently sharp points of the sweeps
• Longer life time and time saving – fewer sweep replacements necessary

For light, sandy and stony soil conditions, a leaf spring tine 150×14 mm / 5.91×0.55″ can be selected. On these tines the inclination cannot be adjusted.

The rubber support wheels mounted on the first beam of the frame ensure precise maintenance of the working depth and smoother operation of the machine. These can be adjusted quickly and easily by means of a gearwheel adjustment.

The side plate, which has a special position for road transport, is recommended for an even surface after operation of the machine.

Serrated levelling discs behind the last row of tines are available upon request. They level the soil in front of the rear roller, therefore they ensure uniform tillage. They are available with hydraulic folding as an option.

The P-BOX-STI seeding box can be mounted on the universal cultivator for easy and simultaneous seeding of catch crops. It is electrically driven and operated from the tractor cab via the SPEED-TRONIC terminal. Suitable steps for filling are available as an option.
