KX/KG Cultimix mounted rotary cultivator

The tines of the rotary cultivators are arranged "on-grip" in the Cultimix system, so that they pull into the soil and break it up from below. This prevents smearing, which is the case in other implements with "trailing" tines. Organic residues are also thoroughly mixed into the soil while the soil is levelled and reconsolidated by the packer roller. The ideal seedbed.

The rotary cultivators produce fine soil, especially in the lower half of the working horizon at the level of the seed placement, and coarser soil particles are left on the soil surface. This creates the ideal germination conditions for the seed and also improves water infiltration and gaseous exchange.

The deep frame and long tines provide an extremely high clearance between the components for an ideal, unobstructed soil flow and high through-passage, even with very large clods of soil or quantities of straw.

Quality within the system
Long-Life-Drive is the optimised drive system for all AMAZONE rotary harrows which ensures an extended operating life, maximum smooth running and a high resale value. Gear wheels and bearings run in a single oil bath and so are maintenance-free – there are no grease nipples.

1. Robust gearbox
2. Highly-hardened spur gears with large teeth contact area
3. Exact spacing of all bearing seats for a maximum smooth running
4. Heavy-duty taper roller bearings with wide spacing between mounting points
5. Large clearance between tool carrier and smooth trough base for blockage-free mulch sowing and optimum though passage
6. Double sealing system with cassette sealing ring against oil loss and labyrinth seal against ingress of plant fibres and dirt
7. Tine carrier and tine carrier shaft are forged from one piece. Tine carrier shaft with a large diameter of 60 mm
8. Quick + Safe system with tool-less tine change and integrated overload protection

The drive effectively transfers the power of the tractor to the soil via the tine carriers and the tines. For maximum robustness and durability, the tine carrier and tine carrier shaft are forged from a single piece of high-quality steel with a shaft diameter of 60 mm.

1. KX/KG "trailing" or HD "trailing" tines
2. KX/KG Special HD "on-grip" tines
3. KG Super "on-grip" or Super HD pro "on-grip" tines
4. KX/KG potato tines

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.

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 pro tine, AMAZONE offers a tine whose service life is extended by a factor of up to 8*, thanks to its hard metal coating.

The use of HD pro tines minimises running costs and saves valuable working time spent on readjustment and changing tines.
