regulations, the machines illustrated in the figures in this manual may differ slightly from
your machine. All transport and work safety equipment fitted at the time of delivery of the
machine must be kept in place and in good working condition even if they are not shown
in the figures or text of this manual.
In this manual “left” and “right” refer to the respective side of the machine as viewed in
the working direction from the rear of the machine.
Tume-Agri Oy develops its products continuouslyand reserves all rights to make product
alterations without prior notification. Tume-Agri Oy is not required to make retrospective
changes to its products other than repair work under the scope of warranty.
2. Safety instructions
All persons operating, servicing or repairing the Tume CultiPack disc cultivator
must be thoroughly familiarised with the instructions of this manual and with the
machine itself before starting work.
It is strictlyforbidden to allow access to the machine to persons that are unfamiliar
with its operation and safety hazards.
Observe caution when connecting the cultivator to the tractor’s 3-point hitch.

5
To avoid having to go between the cultivator and the tractor when hitching, we
recommend that the drawbars and push bar of the tractor should be equipped with
a quick hitch device.
Ensure that the cultivator is correctly and securely attached to the tractor. Use
only high-quality ring cotters. Ensure also that the hydraulics are correctly
connected.
Raise the support leg onlyafter the cultivator has been fully fastened to the tractor.
Observe extreme caution and ensure that the tractor engine is switched off when
going between the tractor and the cultivator unit.
It is strictly forbidden to go beneath the cultivator or cultivator parts while lifted
on the tractor’s lifter or whenever the unit is not mechanically supported.
Possible clogging of the coulter discs during work must be cleared to ensure that
the discs can be hydraulically raised from the ground without catching on the
cultivator. Before cleaning the discs, the tractor must be stopped and the engine
turned off.
Position the cultivator on a level surface if possible. If working on sloped terrain,
make sure that the machine cannot roll on its discs or wheels.
The cultivator’s support leg must be always used when the cultivator is unhitched
from the tractor. Before unhitching the cultivator from the tractor, first lower the
cultivator with the tractor’s lifter, then engage the tractor’s parking brake and turn
off the engine. Then go between the cultivator and the tractor and lower the
support leg. The support leg must be lowered before continuing to unhitch the
cultivator.
Whenever the cultivator is parked or is being serviced, repaired or adjusted,
ensure the safety of people working on or near the machine by making sure that
no other persons can access the tractor’s cab or its controls.
Standing or sitting on the cultivator, or carrying out adjustments or repairs while
the cultivator is in motion is strictly forbidden. The tractor engine must be turned
off during maintenance and repair work.
Before moving or operating the cultivator or adjusting the disc working height,
make sure that there are no people, buildings or objects within the danger area of
the machine.
All safety devices and guards must be kept in place during operation.
Damaged parts must be repaired or replaced immediately. Pay special attention to
the condition of the cultivator’s fertilizer seed drill draw pin and the unit’s own 3-
point hitch and hydraulic hoses.
Make sure that sufficient weight rests on the tractor’s front axle in all
circumstances to ensure that the steering functions safely. Normally, at least 20%
of the tractor’s total weight must rest permanently on the front axle. Use extra
weights if necessary.

6
The maximum allowable transport driving speed for the cultivator is 30 km/h,
irrespective of whether the unit is raised on the tractor’s lifter or pulled on its own
wheels. In poor conditions, or if the cultivator is loaded by a seed drill tow bar, the
driving speed must be adjusted accordingly.
When transporting the cultivator at high speed on its own wheels, take into
account that the cultivator can cause slight oversteering of the tractor and can
also reduce the braking power of the tractor’s rear axle. Take these factors into
consideration and observe appropriate caution when driving.
Never reverse with the cultivator lowered – always raise the lifter before reversing!
The draw pin built onto the cultivator is designed for towing a Tume fertilizer seed
drill equipped with a Tume multi-purpose drawbar. The working load limits for the
draw pin are presented below in this manual. The working load limits must not be
exceeded.
Maintain the fertilizer seed drill draw pin in good working order at all times.
Replace worn or damaged parts as necessary. Use only original Tume spare parts.
Use of the cultivator’s draw pin for any purpose other than that presented above
is strictly forbidden.
If the unit is used in combination with a Tume CultiPlus hybrid cultivator, the rear
wheels of the cultivator must be locked straight. If the required locking devices
have not been delivered as standard equipment, they must be purchased as Tume
spare parts and installed before connecting the cultivator to the CultiPlus unit.
The paint finish of the cultivator may emit harmful fumes upon heating. Ensure
sufficient repair workshop ventilation and use personal protective equipment as
necessary.
Demanding cultivator repair work must be carried out by an authorised Tume
service workshop.
Only original Tume spare parts may be used.
Structural alteration of the cultivator may not be carried out without prior written
permission of the manufacturer clearly specifying the changes to be made.
3. Purpose of use and features of the cultivator
The Tume CultiPack cultivator can be used for stubble or grass tillage as a lighter
alternative to ploughing, and for tillage of previously prepared ground, e.g., seedbed
preparation or fallow tillage. Tume CultiPack comes equipped with a draw pin suitable
for towing trailed seed drills or fertilizer seed drills equipped with a Tume multi-purpose

7
drawbar. This combination of cultivator plus seed and/or fertilizer drill enables seedbed
preparation as well as sowing in a single pass.
The cultivator’sconstruction allows for different operating modes, such asin combination
with a fertilizer seed drill, in which case several tons of drawbar weight can be directed
onto the cultivator. For this reason, the cultivator has been given a lightweight base
construction. The working angles of the discs have been carefully designed to ensure
effective ground penetration despite the cultivator’s low design weight, even without the
added drawbar loading of a fertilizer seed drill. In addition to this, attachment points are
provided on the cultivator frame for additional weights to facilitate tillage of harder soils.
The cultivator can be driven in the field on its own support wheels and at end turns, for
example, the discs can be independently raised. This reduces end turn surface damage
and speeds up the work process. When a fertilizer seed drill is hitched to the cultivator,
full tractor steerability is consistently retained despite the extra drawbar load on the
cultivator as there is no need for the cultivator to be raised by the tractor’s lifter during
driving.
Stubble tillage, as an alternative to ploughing, is typically achieved in a single pass.
Pasture tillage requires two passes, ideally crosswise.
If tillage is not immediately followed by sowing, i.e. tilling is used as an alternative to
ploughing, a relatively high working depth of 10–12 cm should be used.
If the purpose of tilling is seedbed preparation, the tilling must be carried out at sowing
depth, i.e. usually max. 3–5 cm depending on the crop.
Use of a relatively high driving speed of 10 – 15 km/h typically gives the best results.
4. Hitching the cultivator to the tractor
Tume CultiPack requires a normal ISO 730-1 category 2 compliant 3-point hitch and an
ISO 5675 compliant dual-function ½ inch hydraulic power take off connection.
Figure 1. A washer must be installed under the ring cotter due to the oval shape of
the tow lug holes.
Use only high quality ring
cotters and washers!

8
Hitching to the tractor is done in thenormal manner. Due tothe ovalshape of the drawbar
fastening pin holes, washers must be installed under the ring cotters.
The final hitching stages include connecting the hydraulic hoses and raising the support
leg. Lift the cultivator slightly off the ground. Turn off the tractor and engage the parking
brake.
Connectthehosesto adual-functionpowertake-off with non-lockinglift and lowercontrol
lever positions. If the valve has a floating position, switch the lever to this position to
facilitate hose connection.
Remove the pin from the cultivator’s support leg, lift the leg and lock it in the raised
position.
Observe extreme caution when working between the tractor and the
cultivator unit when adjusting the support leg and installing the hydraulic
hoses!
Adjust the levelness of the cultivator by adjusting the height barsof the tractor’s push bar
and drawbars. If the cultivator is to beused onvery uneven terrain,set thetractor’sheight
bars to a position which allows vertical free movement.
The lateral limiters of the drawbars can be set as either fixed or to allow some lateral
movement.
5. Cultivator adjustments
5.1 Setting the working depth
The cultivator’s working depth is set by adjusting the position of the discs in relation to
the cultivator frame and to the support wheels and press wheels at the rear of the frame.
The adjustment is performed by rotating the square shafts to which the discs are
attached using a hydraulic cylinder (see Figure 2).

9
Figure 2. The working depth is adjusted by turning the square disc shafts. The
figure shows the transport position.
The maximum working depth is set by first limiting the stroke length of the working
depth adjustment cylinder. See Figure 3.
Figure 3. The max. working depth is set by limiting the cylinder stroke length.
First raise the discs to the upper position, i.e. transport position. Determine the required
maximum working depth for the field plot and compare this value with the values marked
on the label shown in Figure 3. Select the closed value and insert the limit pin into the
corresponding hole.
The cultivator must be lowered on the tractor’s lifter and the tractor
engine turned off before performing the basic working depth adjustment.
The disc working depth adjustment is
made by rotating the square disc shafts
using the hydraulic cylinder.
The maximum working depth
corresponding to each hole
is shown on the working
depth label.
Limit pin
Depth adjustment

10
The limit pin limits the cylinder stroke length, which in turn adjusts the working depth.
Once the setting is made, the hydraulic cabin controls cannot exceed this chosen
working depth.
If necessary, the working depth can, however, be reduced hydraulically via the cab
during tilling. The cultivator is equipped with a working depth scale and indicator which
shows the theoretical working depth value. See Figure 4.
Figure 4. Working depth indicator and scale.
N.B.! The value shown on the working depth indicator is a guideline value only.
The actual working depth depends on the specific working conditions and
can be only be accurately determined by examining the results of a trial
run.
Factors affecting the acquired working depth include, e.g., the ground hardness and
weighting of the cultivator. On hard soil the plate springs supporting the discs yield
slightly, thus reducing the actual working depth.
5.2 Adjusting the weight and adding extra weights
If the cultivator is used on extremely hard ground without additional weights or the
additional loading of a seed drill drawbar, the cultivator frame and wheels may rise
above their base height. In this event, additional weights must be installed in the
cultivator frame. See Figure 5. The maximum additional weight is 50 kg per working
width metre.

Figure 5. Additional weights can be inserted in the front beam of the cultivator.
5.2 Lateral adjustment of the front disc row
Adjusting the working depth of the Tume CultiPack cultivator by rotating the square disc
attachment shaft at the same time also changes the angle of contact of the discs with
the ground to some extent. In order to retain an even tilling result at different working
depths, CultiPack enables adjustment of the lateral position of the first disc row with
respect to the second disc row. If the working depth is altered considerably, the lateral
position of the first disc row should also be adjusted. See Figure 6.
The lateral positioning can be checked by comparing the position of the plate edge
shown Figure 6 with the scale on the front beam. If the working depth of the cultivator is
0….5 cm, the lateral setting can be at its minimum position (as shown in Figure 6). When
increasing the working depth, lateral adjustment must be made by turning the adjustment
screw until the plate edge (indicated in Figure 6 by the plate edge arrow) aligns with the
figure on the scale which most closely corresponds to the desired working depth.
Example: The working depth is 9 cm. Lateral adjustment is made so that the edge of the
plate, used as the measurement reference point, aligns with “9” on the scale.
Lateral adjustment of the disc shaft of the first disc row is easiest to perform when the
cultivator is raised on the lifter and the disc working depth is initially set to the maximum
position (working depth limit pin fully removed). After carrying out the adjustment, raise
the discs to the transport position and lower the cultivator on the lifter. Finally, install the
pin which limits the maximum working depth in the desired hole (see Figure 3).

12
Figure 6. Lateral adjustment of the front disc row.
Do not go beneath the cultivator when carrying out the adjustment while
it is raised on the hydraulic lifter! Turn off the tractor engine and engage
the hand brake before beginning work in the danger area of the tractor
and cultivator. Make sure also that the tractor controls are not
accessible to others while you are in the danger area!
5.3 Adjusting the furrow leveller – left furrow leveller
See Figures 7-8.
The left furrow leveller is a revolving disc with adjustable ploughing, vertical and lateral
positions. The disc rotates in its working position in the soil under its own weight. When
the tillage discs are raised, the lift lever also automatically raises the levelling disc.
The ploughing position of the left furrow leveller is factory-set to 140 mm as shown in
Figure 8.
To adjust the ploughing or height position of the disc, loosen the 2 bolts (see Figure 7)
at the top of the disc arm and adjust to the desired value. Re-tighten the screws firmly in
place.
Note! the disc must be angled outward in the direction of travel – i.e. not at an
inward ploughing angle!
The travel direction setting of the levelling disc has also been carried out at the factory
and does not normally need to be changed.

If adjustment isneeded, loosen the two bolts (see Figure 7 “Levelling disc travel direction
adjustment”), adjust slightly in the direction of travel and lock firmly in the new position.
Figure7. Left furrow leveller.
Lateral adjustment of the levelling disc is also possible (see Figure 8). Loosen the bolt
on the locking sleeve of the disc arm shaft and slide the shaft inward. Secure the
sleeve firmly in the desired position.
Lateral adjustment can be used to fully retract the levelling disc to within the working
width of the cultivator, for example for transport.

5.4 Adjusting the furrow leveller – right furrow leveller
The right furrow leveller has been factory-set and does not normally need changing.
See Figure 9.
Figure 9. Right furrow leveller.
The working height and travel direction positions can, however, be adjusted if
necessary.
To change the working height, adjust the position of the locking U-bolt on the leveller
shaft. Perform the adjustment when the tillage discs are at the desired working depth.
The leveller tines should be set so that the tine tips are 20–40 mm above the soil
surface in the working position. Re-tighten the hex bolts firmly.
5.5 Setting the disc raising and lowering speed
Adjustment of the working depth and the raising and lowering speeds of the cultivator
discs during operation are carried out using the dual-function hydraulic cylinder. The
cylinder speed is adjusted using the choke on one of the hydraulic hoses. Depending on
the model, the choke may be fitted with a hex screw lock. If so, loosen the hex screw
before carrying out the adjustment and then re-tighten it once the setting is made.

5.7 Adjusting the wheel scrapers
The cultivator’s support wheels are each equipped with a scraper which cleans the
wheel when operating in muddy conditions. The scrapers are factory-set for normal
operating conditions with a wheel/scraper clearance of 10–20 mm. The setting may
require subsequent adjustment as the scrapers wear or, in some cases, due to the
operating conditions. The setting should nevertheless be kept within the reference
factory values where possible.
6 Using the cultivator’s draw pin
6.1 Draw pin use and structure
The CultiPack cultivator comes equipped with a draw pin suitable for towing trailed Tume
seed drills and fertilizer seed drills equipped with a multi-purpose drawbar. See Figure
10.
Figure 10. CultiPack cultivator’s draw pin for trailed machines.
6.2 Hitching a seed drill drawbar
•Open the lock pin by removing its locking bar and lifting up the pin
•Drive the cultivator beneath the drawbar and raise the cultivator with the lifter so
that the cultivator’s draw pin slots into the drawbar ring
•Pull down the lock pin and secure the coupling with the locking bar
•Connect the seed drill’s hydraulic hoses and lighting and electronics cable
oPosition the cables and hoses so that they will not be damaged during
operation of the combined machine units

6.3 Unhitching a seed drill from the cultivator
•Park the seed drill on a level base and secure it in place. When parking, raise the
drawbar high enough to enable the cultivator to be driven away from beneath it.
•Using the tractor’s hydraulics, release the pressure from the seed drill’s lifting
cylinders. If the machine has a hydraulic drawbar, leave it at a suitable height
oIf the seed drill’s drawbar is single-functional, lock the cylinder using the
cylinder cock
•Disconnect the hydraulic hoses and lighting and electronics cables
•Raise the cultivator so that the draw ring of the seed drill’s drawbar does not force
up the lock pin of the cultivator’s draw pin
•Remove the lock pin’s locking bar and lift up the pin
•Lower the cultivator and drive it out from beneath the drawbar
•Pull down the lock pin and fasten the locking bar in place
Observe extreme caution when hitching and unhitching trailed machine
units from the cultivator’s draw pin!
Never go beneath the structures raised on hydraulics. Use mechanical
supports if necessary.
When working between the tractor and the cultivator, the tractor must be
parked with the hand brake engaged and the engine off.
Make sure that there are no unauthorised people in the danger area of the
machine or in the tractor cab during hitching and unhitching!
Check the hitch regularly. It is strictly forbidden to operate the machine
with a non-secure hitch. Worn or damaged parts must be replaced
immediately.
6.4 Working load limits of the draw pin
The draw pin is intended for towing Tume seed drills and fertilizer seed drills that are
equipped with a multi-purpose drawbar.
Working load limits at the end of the seed drill drawbar:
Tensile load backwards at a 0–45 degree lateral angle: 100 kN
Tensile load forwards at a 0–45 degree lateral angle: 50 kN
Downward load: 50 kN
Upward load: 1 kN
Exceeding the above-mentioned working load limits is hazardous and
strictly forbidden.

17
7 Operating the cultivator
7.1 Transferring the cultivator
The cultivator can be transferred either on its own wheels or raised on the tractor’s lifter.
If a seed drill is connected to the cultivator, however, the cultivator must be
transferred on its own support wheels. During transfer, the cultivator discs must be
fully raised. The discs are raised using the tractor’s hydraulics and the cultivator’s dual-
function cylinder.
The maximum allowable transfer driving speed is 30 km/h. Always lower the speed as
necessary on uneven terrain and in accordance with the prevailing conditions.
Follow the safety instructions given in this manual concerning machine transfer
and tractor front axle loading!
The cultivator must be sufficiently cleaned before transfer from the work site onto public
roads and to other public areas. Mud and other debris falling from the unit can be
hazardous to other road users!
N.B.! Always raise the cultivator on the lifter before reversing!
7.2 Tilling
The CultiPack cultivator can be used solo or, using a Tume multi-purpose drawbar, in
combination with a Tume seed drill or fertilizer seed drill to enable both seedbed
preparation and sowing in a single pass. Begin by setting the maximum tilling depth
(working depth) as described above in this manual. The set working depth can be
steplessly reduced hydraulically via the cab during tilling if necessary.
A suitable cultivator working speed without a seed drill is 10-15 km/h, or 8-12 km/h with
a trailed seed drill. During operation, let the cultivator run on its own wheels, also during
end turns. The cultivator’s hinged support wheels can accommodate sharp turning
angles. See Figure 11. If necessary, raise the cultivator discs using the cultivator and
tractor hydraulics.
Choose an appropriate working depth. For seedbed preparation the working depth must
not exceed the sowing depth.

18
Figure 11. Hinged support wheels allow end turns without raising the cultivator.
N.B.! • The cultivator must always be raised on the lifter before reversing.
• The cultivator discs must not contact the ground when reversing!
• Raise the cultivator discs also when traversing large stones or other
obstacles!
8 Operating the cultivator in combination with a Tume
CultiPlus hybrid cultivator
The Tume CultiPack cultivator serves as a module of the Tume CultiPlus hybrid
cultivator. CultiPlus is specially designed to replace ploughing with a lighter soil
preparation. The first module in the hybrid consists of a ground-breaking coulter knife
section.
The CultiPack module is hitched to the rear frame of this first section via a 3-point hitch.
Detailed instructionson hitching and operation are provided in the Tume CultiPlushybrid
cultivator operator’s manual.
If the CultiPack cultivator unit is used asa Tume CultiPlus hybrid module, the rear wheels
of the cultivator must be locked straight. A locking kit is available for this purpose as extra
equipment.
