Ceus trailed disc & tine combination cultivator

Multiple operational processes in a single pass

With the trailed disc and tine combination cultivator, several operational processes can be combined in one pass. The leading disc segment, with its serrated 510 mm diameter discs, enables shallow cultivation at working depths of 5 to 14 cm.

The following tine element with C-Mix tines can then be used for subsequent loosening, down to a working depth of 35 cm. At the same time, the downforce of the tine element which occurs during work increases the penetration effect of the front discs.

The front disc segment

• The organic matter is thoroughly shredded and mixed.
• Rotting is quickly promoted.
• If only deep loosening is required, the disc element can be lifted up out of work, even at the maximum working depth of the tines.

The combination makes the difference

• The combination of discs and tines is extremely reliable and economical for the short periods of use.
• Complete working of the soil thanks to the combination of the disc element and the tines.

The leading discs comprehensively incorporate the organic matter by intensively shredding and mixing the crop residues on the surface of the soil. At the same time, a finely crumbled structure occurs within that top soil layer. This creates optimum conditions for rotting on the one hand and excellent germination and emergence conditions on the other. The working depth is adjusted via a parallelogram. This changes the working depth of the front and rear row of discs to the same extent.

As is familiar from the Catros compact disc harrow, each disc is individually suspended from the frame using resilient sprung rubber buffer blocks. This is much better than implements where the discs are suspended in pairs, since each concave disc can follow the ground contours individually. This makes for a consistent shallow soil tillage, even if the soil surface is uneven and the soil is stony. At the same time, the individual suspension of the discs enables the optimum passage of large amounts of organic matter in comparison to machines where the discs are mounted in pairs, thereby improving the through-flow.

The elastic sprung rubber buffer blocks for suspending the discs, not only ensure optimum contour following, but also act as overload safety protection on each individual disc. The oversized sprung rubber buffer blocks are maintenance-free and are characterised by a large potential deflection providing safety even where large stones prevail.

The 510 mm diameter Catros⁺ discs are characterised by their aggressive operation and more reliable penetration, even under difficult conditions. The optimum scope of use for these discs is stubble tillage, seedbed preparation and also the incorporation of catch crop residues.

No lubrication ever again – thanks to the maintenance-free disc bearings

With no need to lubricate the disc bearings, this results in a significantly reduced overall maintenance time. The face seal has been used in AMAZONE tillage equipment for almost 25 years, and has, over this period, more than proven itself across every continent.

Advantages of the disc element

• Maintenance-free disc bearings with face seals and life-long lubrication
• Maintenance-free overload protection via rubber spring elements
• Individual disc suspension for optimised contour following and excellent through passage
