Knife roller
Shredding and incorporation of crop residues or catch crops
The out-front knife roller on the AMAZONE compact disc harrow provides maximum flexibility for optimum soil tillage. The knife roller enables extremely shallow soil tillage with simultaneous shredding of stubbles, such as during the initial stubble cultivation after rape. However, the knife roller is also ideal for working in tall catch crops, maize or sunflower stubbles. In particular, long stubbles are cut transversely to the direction of travel and then incorporated with the subsequent disc element.
The roller is lowered into the working position from the tractor seat during work. By dividing the knife roller into segments, it means that the roller can follow the ground contours perfectly, even in uneven terrain, and can effectively shred any lying crop residues across the entire working width.
Advantages of the knife roller
- Optimum cutting action as a result of the high peripheral speed with a roller diameter of 330 mm
- Excellent contour following thanks to individual roller segments
- Maintenance-free bearings with a long service life thanks to a metallic face seal
- Insensitive to stones and dirt due to the enclosed design of the roller centre shaft
- Wear costs reduced by 50% thanks to the double-edged, reversible blades made of tempered boron steel
