The knife roller on the AMAZONE shallow cultivator provides maximum flexibility for soil tillage. The knife roller enables extremely shallow soil tillage with simultaneous shredding of the stubble, such as during that initial stubble cultivation after rape. However, the knife roller is also ideal for working in tall catch crops, volunteer cereals or maize stubbles. In particular, long stubbles are cut transversely to the direction of travel and then incorporated by means of the following shares.
The knife roller is lowered into the working position from the tractor seat during work. Its division into different segments enables the knife roller to follow the ground contours perfectly, even in uneven terrain, and effectively shred any crop residues.
Intensive cutting and shredding
– Optimum cutting action as a result of the high peripheral speed with a roller diameter of 330 mm
– Improves the shredding and incorporation of long plant residues, thereby promoting an accelerated decomposition process
Easy to set up, reliable in operation
– Excellent contour following thanks to the individual roller sections
– 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 core
– Wear costs halved thanks to reversible knives made of tempered boron steel with two cutting edges
Fully hydraulic depth adjustment from the cab with an easy-to-read scale
