TopCut 12000-2T cutting roller combination

The TopCut can be used universally throughout the year across a variety of cultivation passes from catch crop establishment and crop residue management to mechanical weed control and seedbed preparation ahead of, for instance, direct seeding with tines.

The TopCut consists of three consecutive tool segments which can be equipped with various tools to suit the farm’s needs and requirements. For example, a single knife roller can be used as the leading tool. The double knife roller then operates in the main tool segment. As an alternative, however, straight double cutting discs can be used or a combination of a straight cutting disc with a knife roller. These combinations cultivate the soil only to a minimum extent, 
but they also produce enough fine soil for optimum germination conditions.

Under dry conditions, it is an advantage if the lightly worked soil is reconsolidated. Here we have the option of using the TopCut with a packer roller, such as the KWM 600 wedge ring roller with the Matrix tyre profile. As an alternative to the packer roller, a three-row straw harrow can also be mounted at the rear. This provides a redistribution of the straw and also shakes out any seeds from the straw, seed pods or ears.

The development of the TopCut 12000-2T with the various tool combinations has been accompanied by scientific research at the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Bernburg as well as extremely successful field trials on various farms across different regions since 2021.
