DESCRIPTION
FUNCTION OF USE
The machine, thanks to the large range of types models and versions all configurable through many available
variants according to specific requirement, carries out all the function related with tools rotation in various
work environment (open field, vineyards, orchards, flower gardens, parks, vegetable gardens), in all type of
ground whatever its composition (sandy soil, medium mixture, clay) and consistency (crumbly, hard, semi-
plastic) may be.
The use of a technical constructive concept trended to the search of high performances, reduction of troubles
and durability, improves the power/consumption ratio of the tractor thanks to the elasticity of the machine
frame, to the tools shape and to many original technical solutions.
PERFORMANCES
The machine is connected to the tractor by a 3° point hitch which gives a movement of translation and a
cardan shaft connected to the PTO which gives a movement of translation to the tools carrier.
The working width is fix and it is determined by the choice of the machine type.
The working depth is adjustable by a rear roller.
The working area is fix.
PERFORMANCE LIMITS
Maximum forwarding speed: 5 km/h.
Speeds higher than the maximum can compromise the condition of the machine, the quality of the work
and the safety of the operator.
Maximum power applicable to the gear box: from 13 to 59 kW ±5% at 540 g/min depending from the
models.
Higher power than one indicated, can damage irreparably the transmission gear box; especially during
heavy works.
Maximum working depth: from 180 to 210 mm depending from the model.
STANDARD FEATURES
-Shear bolt cardan shaft.
VARIANTS & ACCESSORIES
-Wire roller.
-Cage roller.
-Spiked roller.
-Levelling blade.
