CULTIVATORS™

The GE-Force is equipped with a simple one speed gearbox that directly transmits the incoming torque to the side drive. The standard gearbox can handle up to 250 hp of power. A 380 hp gearbox is also available as an optional extra; in addition a 3 speed gearbox is also available which offers greater flexibility with the rotor speeds for use in varied soil types. Since the rpm is only reduced in side drive, the forces that act on the intermediate shafts and bearings are limited, leading to far less component wear and tear.

Options
- 3 speed gear-box.
- A two-sided drive is available for users who want a more efficient transfer of the tractor’s power.
- Reinforced one speed gearbox (380 hp max) in combination with a double side drive.

The AVR Combi machine combines three functions in one frame. By simply switching some components, you can choose which machine to use:

Thanks to this machine, shaping beds and preventing weed growth has never been easier. The secret of the Combi machine is its inventive weight transfer system that uses the tractor’s weight to exert pressure on the ridging hood.

Ecoridger: Eco-friendly weeding the ridge sides The Ecoridger executes two steps:

The MultiForce is a powerful, high-capacity cultivator, optionally executed with a six-tine system, which ensures a uniform crumbling of the soil and can operate at a considerable depth. The MultiForce is mounted to the front of the tractor for use in combination with a rear-mounted planter, but can also be used, after a slight modification, as a rear-mounted soil cultivator. The aim during development was to keep the machine as compact as possible and still be able to offer the advantages of the large rotor diameter and the 6-tine design as a front cultivator.

Perfect planting bed preparation = more marketable potatoes

Field tests have shown that the use of a front-mounted cultivator allows for a higher yield, a larger quantity of tubers and a more uniform size of the harvested product. Proper soil crumbling ensures a good soil texture in the ridge, which is of benefit to the water management and temperature in the ridge.

This has a positive influence on the tuber setting and prevents tuber deformation. Furthermore, the harvesting capacity is increased thanks to the clod-free ridges.

Preparing the fields for optimum yields
The AVR Compact cultivator is a full field cultivator for use in combination with a planter or seeder. Cultivating, crumbling, planting and ridging can be executed behind the tractor in one working passage, which means wide tires can be used. This compact cultivator is equipped with a three-point linkage system, to which a Ceres planter can easily be coupled.

Compact machine, lower fuel consumption
By mounting the hydraulic tines in the frame (instead of in front of it) and the soil openers on the cultivator (instead of on the planter), we were able to significantly restrict the machine’s length. The hydraulically depth-adjustable cultivating tines (optional) break up the tractor’s tracks. By cultivating in cracked soil, less fuel is consumed.
