Mounted field cultivator FA 200

towed3-point hitchfor seed drills

The new FA 200 is a real all-rounder. For under-root fertilisation, the frame of the two row front cultivator Type FA 200 can be fitted with a 650 litre 2.2 metre wide fertilizer bunker, which can comfortably be filled with a front loading bucket. The advantage of the under-root fertilisation is that the potato is stimulated for an even root development. A unique feature is, that the feed of the fertilizer from the hopper to the spreaders is completely locked, so that dust and large lumps of fertilizer can not block the cooler etc. The two trailed wheels in the bed former allow for perfect traction and therefore for accurate fertilizer deposits at all times. On request, a cage roller can be fitted for a conventional cultivation technique. The GRIMME tank system TS 420 is authorized for liquid seed dressing onto the seed potatoes and/or into the furrow. It is available with a volume of 2 x 200 litres. In order to create an optimally pre-formed ridge without compaction by the tractor wheels, the FA 200 series can also be used as a two-row front cultivator for potato planting. In order to reduce the number of passes by tractors over the soil, the front mounted device is used in tandem with a suitable planting machine.
