1. DESCRIPTION
The FANTOM FX 650-850 PS machine is constructed as semi-carried. The basic version consists
of a tractive pole with a TPS suspension bar with 36 mm or 60 mm pivots for the TPS 3 and KIROVEC category,
or a loop for bottom hitch (51 mm, 71 mm or K80 hitch), a central frame with the transportation axle and
four side frames. There are four rows of working shares located on the central and side frames and tracing
wheels on the side frames. Furthermore, there are rollers in the rear of the machine that compact the loosened
soil. In front of the first row, it is possible to mount front tools upon request, i.e. a crossboard, a cutting roller,
or coulters. Behind the rear roller in the middle part, the machine axle is located.
