Vario - Precision Cultivator Brochure

The aim is to mix the post harvest residues evenly in the top 50 - 150 mm. This way nature, throug the micro biological activity and the actions of worms, degrades the straw. This increases the humus content and significantly improves the soil quality. Having mixed the straw the soil needs reconsolidating to give weed, seeds and volunteers good soil contact and to reduce the ability of slugs to thrive. When good straw mixing takes place, the danger of fungal disease and demage to the capillary structure is reduced. The KÖCKERLING `PC` has been developed to work at an overall shallow deep mixing the post harvest residue evenly levelling the work and reconsolidating the cultivated ground. The working depth is selected hydraulically using two depth wheels at the front of the machine. These depth wheels are linked to the rear reconsolidation roller. This way the precise working depth is even over the whole width and length of the machine.
