New tools for the Pöttinger Plano trailed shallow cultivator include a heavy-duty harrow and spiral spring tines.
One of the most important new tools on the Plano, which is suitable for mechanical weed control, seedbed preparation, medium-depth tillage down to 15cm, and incorporating cover crops, are the heavy-duty tines.
Deployed instead of the rear roller, the tines are configured to form a three-row harrow that spreads residue and leave a loose, non-consolidated finish. Said to be a useful tool when cultivating grass and cover crops, a quick-change system allows the tines and rear roller to be swapped, and the harrow folds hydraulically to the rear to clear blockages without stopping.
Offered an alternative to the pre-tensioned tines, the new spiral spring tines are suitable for light to medium-heavy soils and for seedbed preparation. Their sweeping geometry is designed to allow large volumes of organic matter to pass through, and the oscillating effect provides a finely crumbled tilth.
Track eradicating tines are a new option. The wear-resistant Durastar Plus duck foot shares have a width of 220mm.
