The new Cenius TX cultivator was shown in 7m working width at Cereals 2014, but the extended range of smaller widths will be launched at this year’s Tillage Live in September.
Now available in 4.0m, 5.0m, 6.0m, as well as the 7.0m, the four-stagger layout of the new C-Mix tines, with a tine spacing of 28cm and the frame height of 80cm, ensures its use in a diverse range of applications and guarantees blockage-free operation.
The newly designed drawbar includes, as standard, hydraulic lift that means a comfortable coupling up to the tractor. As an option, a selectable traction assistance system is available that, when activated, additionally transfers part of the machine weight back on to the rear axle of the tractor, with up to 1,500kg being available at the maximum working depth. This improves the tractive force between the tractor tyres and the ground, thus reducing slippage, saving fuel and increasing work rates.
A mixture of share options means that working quality can be maintained throughout the working depth spectrum. The rear discs are easily adjusted via two spindles from the outside of the machine and the excellent levelling effect they provide results in a perfect soil profile being left after the following consolidation roller. The double row of pitch-adjustable rear discs are protected against stone damage by their rubber mount fixing.
Depth control is carried out via a mixture of the front support tyres and the rear following roller and is, as standard, hydraulically adjustable on the move from the tractor seat. In spite of the compact design, the use of twin tyres on the tractor is possible without any problems.
The pivoting drawbar and centre transport axle means that the machine is extremely manoeuvrable on the headlands. In work, some of the weight can be carried on the transport wheels in softer ground or, in extreme wet conditions, the rear roller can be removed altogether. There’s a choice of rear following rollers to suit differing soil types.
