GLADIO cultivation and meadow rollers, hydraulically folded, are pulled with modern machines, in which we use the following working elements:
• knife roller with a diameter of 840 mm, they are primarily intended for post-harvest cultivation of fields and for use after catch crops.
Tube D = 610 with 15 knives made of special hardox steel. The knives are arranged along the steel pipe every 24 degrees. Each section of the shaft has flood plugs which, when filled with water, regulate the weight of the machine. Recommended working speed 17-23 km / h. Additionally, each working element has a protection for transport, where a pin inserted between the hole in the frame and the shaft section blocks it. These shafts have a simplified unfolding system where, after unlocking the beam blocking the frame segments, the machine unfolds the side sections while reversing. Then all sections of the shaft are lowered by the actuator. The rollers can also be successfully used for post-harvest cultivation in order to accelerate the process of decomposition of straw and post-harvest residues as well as the germination of sprinkled seeds, including weed seeds. These machines are also used on grasslands.
