Cutting rollers

Maize stalk borer control

During tillage with the cutting rollers, all stubble remaining on the soil after harvesting maize is crushed across the full working width of the machine. In this process, the stubble is split and lightly mixed with the soil. The larvae of the maize stalk borer that normally survive in the stem have no protection left and cannot survive the winter. The two counter-rotating rollers (of different diameters: 38 + 51 cm) process the maize stubble in such a way that the process of decay and the decomposition of the stubble is started more quickly. The maize stalk borer is controlled in a very environmentally friendly way and the soil is tilled effectively.

Cutting up green manure  

In addition to standard cultivation of maize stubbles, the cutting rollers are also very suitable for cutting up green manure and remaining crop residues from cabbage, for example. The different diameters and the angle iron profiles ensure an even more aggressive treatment of the maize stubble.

Multiple operations in one pass

The machine can optionally be fitted with a three-point hitch for a combination machine. In this way, several operations can be carried out in one pass, for example, with the incorporation of a seed drill for sowing green manure. This option also contributes to constructive and efficient management.

Benefits of cutting rollers  

• High working capacity because of the high processing speed
• Effective and inexpensive stubble insect control
• Low fuel consumption
• Flexible in its use

Available in various standard versions:

Options: 

• with additional weights for more pressure on the ground
• with mechanical power lift, so that the machine can be combined with another operation in the same pass
• mudguards, suitable for front mounting
