Always the right choice
Rotary harrows and rotary cultivators are still the best all-rounder when it
comes to seedbed preparation. No other soil tillage implement can be used
so flexibly on ploughed or unploughed ground. Used in combination with
a rear mounted or pack-top mounted seed drill, they are, for many farms,
the ideal system solution.

Extracts from owner survey in top agrar magazine
06/2000:
P A striking feature is the high-quality mixing effect. In dry, hard conditions, the tines can tear up more soil,
which makes it easier to mix in harvest residues. Rotary cultivator tines are very insensitive to stones.
Although the tines work on land with the highest degree of stones, they attain the best score. The tines in
the tine fixings can deviate in their course by several millimetres.
P As a further development on from the tyre packer, the AMAZONE wedge ring roller received the best marks
out of all the rollers. The re-consolidation in the seed furrow, for example, received a mark of 1.3.
Sticking is apparently not an issue.

The AMAZONE wedge ring tyres ensure that the seed-
bed is reconsolidated just in strips that are targeted to the
sowing requirements. Thanks to the low rolling resistance
of extra large diameter wedge ring tyres of 1,050 mm,

In very dry periods – The water pump principle
The consolidated strips ensure good root system development directly in the row.
In this way, capillary water reaches the seedling even in extremely dry weather.
The wedge ring roller turns your soil into a water pump.
Even in heavy, wet soils, there is still enough loose earth between the rows to cover the
seeds with loose soil.
