DESCRIPTION
6 DESCRIPTION
FANTOM 1050 PRO, FANTOM 1250 PRO is structurally designed as a semi-mounted folding machine.
The basic version consists of a drawbar and a working section. The chassis is aggregated with the pulling ve-
hicle using a height-adjustable loop for guide pin ø50mm (ø70mm or K80 hitch). The chassis includes a sup-
porting leg to support the machine after it is disconnected from the tractor.
The working section consists of a central frame with the transport axle, of the two side frames and of
the two outer frames. There are five rows of working shares and tracing wheels on the central and side
frames. Furthermore, there are rollers in the rear part of the machine that compact the aerated soil. The
machine is designed for work with or without rollers. The roller hitches are equipped with a quick-coupling
system for fast disassembly. It is possible to install a front flexi-board in front of the first row of ploughshares
on request to increase the levelling effect during work. The axle is located inside the machine in front of the
rear roller. The tracing wheels are used for setting the working depth.
The machine must not be operated with lifted rear rollers for a long time, the rollers can be
quickly removed using the quick-coupling system, see Chapter 9.1 !!!

1. Tractive pole with a folding leg
2. Tracing wheel
3. Flexi-board / Coulters
4. Five rows of shares
5. Rear levelling discs

7. Transportation axle

DESCRIPTION
6.2 Function of the closing (ball) valves
• The machine is equipped with two closing (ball) valves and two switching (three-way) valves
inside the drawbar, see Fig. 2 and 3.
• The external upper ball valve is used for closing the circuit for side frame unfolding (red
circuit); its use is further described in Chapter 8.3.
• The external lower ball valve is used for closing the circuit controlling the piston-rods of the
transport axle (yellow circuit), its use is further described in Chapter 8.3.
• The two ball switching (three-way) valves in the front part of the drawbar are used for
switching the function of the blue circuit. During operation, the blue circuit controls the flexi-
board (if installed) and the folding supporting leg of the drawbar.
• It is important to close the ball valves for transport !!!
