STUBBLE CULTIVATION
Cultigerm
The Swiss Army Knife of the Franquet product range, ideal for use after straw chopping, modular design, suitable for each and any type of soil.
The CULTIGERM very soon becomes an indispensable tool for the cultivation work on your land.
Whether it be for repeat ploughing for seedbed preparation, for burying crop residues or even stumbled ploughing after straw chopping, it will be able to rapidly demonstrate its versatility to you.
The choice of « CROSSBAR or levelling » blades provides the possibility of adapting the tool with the latter replicating the action of the vibrocultivator. The work is carried out by four rows of HERKULES type tines (70 x 12) for opening and mixing the earth with plants and aerating the soil.
The levelling tube or the levelling tines share the work equally. Several rollers are available as per requirements. These produce an optimal re-consolidation, whilst evenly spreading out the earth. As an option, comb harrows can be added and these also reinvigorate the surface mulch.
In the trailed version, the CULTIGERM produces high-quality work.
Being a simple ergonomic and sturdy design, the supporting frame is suitable both for small acreages and for larger areas.
