AMAZONE: New universal 360 mm wing share with three mounting positions
The new wing share for the Cenius and Cenio mounted cultivators has a width of 360 mm and can be mounted in three mounting positions to cater for a variety of operating conditions. This means that the cultivators can be used more universally on farms with variable soil conditions.
The wing share can be mounted on the tine at various heights and angles depending on the application and soil condition. For the shallow cutting of cereal stubble, the wing share is mounted in the lowest of the holes in the leg. In this case, the wing share is almost parallel to the soil, which allows shallow working from 5 cm to 15 cm.
If the soil is very hard due to extremely dry conditions, penetration may be problematic due to the lower mounting position of the wing share and therefore more prone to riding out. For this reason, the second mounting point enables the wing shares to be bolted on slightly higher than in the first position. As a result, the point works deeper than the wing share and thus generates a greater undercut with an easier pull-in.
The third mounting point, in which the wings are set at a steeper angle of attack compared to the second position, provides more intensive incorporation and mixing of the soil. This angle of attack causes the organic matter to be mixed even more intensively into the soil by the cultivator, further promoting the decomposition process.
The wing share also enables full-surface and shallow cutting of stubble with a mulch cultivator, thereby breaking the capillarity of the soil. This reduces the drying of the soil in the summer. Furthermore, volunteer grains and weed seeds have perfect germination conditions as a result of the shallow cultivation.
- Enables more universal use of the mulch cultivator
- Improves the working quality when carrying out full-surface cutting of stubbles as a result of the shallow angle of the wing
- Optimum penetration, even in extremely dry conditions, owing to the steep angle of the share
- Increases the incorporation of crop residues
- The new 360 mm wing share enables shallow working and the cutting of organic matter.
- Optimum penetration, thanks to the improved undercut of the point, even in extremely dry soils.
- The steep angle of attack enhances the mixing of the organic matter in the soil.
