1. DESCRIPTION

The FANTOM FX 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.
