KX rotary cultivator

Integrated stone protection

The sprung tine fixing system allows the tines to yield when stones are encountered. The tines are firmly clamped in the socket through the centre of the tine carrier. This socket becomes wider towards the outside, so that the horizontal part of the tine can twist out of position. Much of the shock is thus absorbed when the tip of the tine hits a stone. This tine fixing system ensures reliable operation in stony soils enabling the tines to be used "on-grip" on the KX and the KG.

With the HD tine, AMAZONE offers a tine which, due to its hard metal coating, features an up to three times longer service life.

By using HD tines, running costs are minimised and, at the same time, valuable operating time for readjustment and tine changing is saved.

Tine quick change system

The tines are simply pushed into the sockets of the tine carrier and secured with a lynch pin. It couldn’t be easier or quicker. There are no tine fixing bolts that require retightening. Converting the tines from "on-grip" to trailing is also quick and easy. The tines are forged from special hardened steel and are yet elastic and extremely wear-resistant.

The “on-grip” tine position has proved its effectiveness particularly when mulch sowing as it guarantees a thorough mixing of soil and organic residues.

Tines “on-grip” break up the soil from beneath. No smeared layers. Coarse soil particles are thrown further than the light ones.

In this way, the fine soil is concentrated in the lower range of the worked zone whereas the coarser soil particles remain on the surface. The seed is therefore placed in the area where the fine soil lies with the coarser clods staying on the surface to protect the soil from capping, drying and wind and water erosion, and provide protection for young plants. This creates the optimum conditions for good seedling emergence.

2. Levelling board
3. KW wedge ring roller

The optionally available hydraulic depth adjustment for the KX/KG rotary cultivator offers the driver even more comfort and possibilities than before, as now, the levelling board is guided in parallel via the roller and so does not require any readjustment when changing the working depth.

If required, for instance when working deeper on the headland, the rotary cultivator can be comfortably and steplessly adjusted from the tractor cab. So any change in soil conditions can be directly responded to and the optimum quality of work maintained.
