We remind you that some machines mechanical parts have linear or rotatory movement and can cause serious damage
or injury to people, animals and things.
It is forbidden to remove or tamper with the safeguards of the machine.
It is obligatory to wear the correct protective clothing and safety equipment.
It is necessary to keep the machine clean and in working order especially the nameplates, couplings and controls.
For the safety of you and others and the proper functioning of the machine don’t use the machine for uses other than
those specified or intended by the manufacturer.
Before using the machine make sure that any dangers to your safety or others have been removed. Pay attention to the
type of oil of used in cases where the equipment is used with different types of tractors.
VERY IMPORTANT
For all operations use proper working clothes and/or suitable safety apparel like glasses, shoes, gloves, and
working cloth in accordance with the safety standards in force in the working area.
The working area must be kept completely clear, so pay the utmost attention that there aren’t any people or
animals in the immediate area.
Nobody else apart from the operator must be within the working zone other than collaborators which for
safety should be no less that 50 mtrs.
Maintenance of the equipment must be carried out by only one operator with the machine off and tractor at a
standstill (off) with the ignition key removed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The hydraulic offset cultivator with rotary tines (Fig.5) mounted on vertical axles, can be applied to three point
hoisters of ordinary 50-80 hp tractors, and is powered by the power takeoff through mechanical transmission.
The machine is built in a three working size with four rotary tine sets (Fig.4) that measure 65 cm., but with a single
extension length from the center of the tractor to the cultivator’s right-hand outer extremity (cm. 115 - 140 - 170).
The rotors are powered mechanically by a chain (Fig.15, Table 2) and gears (Fig.8 and 17, Table 2).
The in and out movement that allows for plant stocks to be avoided, works with a parallel arm system (Fig.2).
The arms are supported by ball bearings hinged to the hoister frame (Fig.1) and machine structure (Fig.3).
Additional balance is provided by a third arm, while the necessary drive is provided by an independent oil hydraulic
system (Fig. 8).
The distributor command (Fig.7) that allows for plant stocks to be avoided is automatically triggered by a sensor
(Fig.6).
The emergency control is electro-hydraulic with proximity fuses (Table 4).
The angle of the rotor head is adjustable by means of a hydraulic jack (Fig.9) operated directly from the driver’s seat.
Its outer extremity can be raised or lowered to match the ground’s inclination.
The hoister frame is provided with supporting wheels (Fig.10), and a gas spring damper on the third point (Fig.11) for
rocky terrain to cushion violent strokes.
A machine version with a patented device for automatic control of the shifting movement “RSA” is available upon
request.
