PROCULT
The PROCULT cultivator is used for soil preparation ahead of the next crop and for incorporating crop residues into the subsoil. It is a modern, high-productivity machine with minimal maintenance expenses and high reliability.
It is essential in minimum tillage agriculture, which limits soil disturbance strictly to the seed rows, avoiding plowing across the entire surface of the field. The PROCULT ensures superior crop quality while simultaneously contributing to the reduction of overall production costs.

3 WORKING ZONES
|
1. TINES
|
During the 1st phase, the tines provide mixing of residues and horizontal blending of the soil, as well as clod breaking. Thus, the material is processed not only by the 1st row of tines but also by the subsequent ones.
With a working depth of 25 - 30 cm and the specific design of the teeth, effective penetration and stable operation are ensured, which are essential for a uniform result and the ideal loosening of the soil structure. |
|
2. DISCS
|
Next, the discs take action to deliver a finer result. The tilt and curvature of the discs create the necessary space so that the soil is mixed at the desired point.
|
|
3. ROLLER
|
The roller improves the leveling of the field and, depending on the type selected, can have a gentle or a more intensive application on the field surface.
|
|
With a height of 70 cm and a thickness of 25 mm, it holds the cutting tools and absorbs the operational loads.
|
Penetrates the soil and moves it upward. Type choices are available for different soil types.
|
Acts as an extension of the share point, and its role is the horizontal mixing of the soil.
|
For horizontal slicing without mixing the soil layers.

SUPERIOR CROP QUALITY
✔ Incorporation of residues into the subsoil. Helps mix organic matter with the subsoil, improving fertility.
✔ Weed destruction. Overturns the upper layer of the soil and suppresses the growth of unwanted weeds.
✔ Breaking of the hardpan. The hardpan is the compacted layer between the surface and subsurface soil, caused mainly by tractor traffic. It prevents roots from reaching greater depths to absorb nutrients and moisture. The existence of a hardpan is responsible for problems such as insufficient root development in depth, poor water drainage, and inadequate subsoil aeration.
✔ Reduction of soil erosion. The partial turning of the soil protects it better from erosion caused by rain and wind.

REDUCTION OF TOTAL PRODUCTION COST
✔ Reduced fuel requirements. Eliminating plowing and limiting the number of field passes significantly reduce diesel consumption.
✔ Time savings. Minimum tillage requires fewer stages of soil preparation. The grower can complete tasks faster, manage more acres in less time, and respond better to tight sowing windows.
✔ Reduced labor needs. Simplifying cultivation tasks limits labor requirements, which is particularly important during periods of increased labor costs or staff shortages.
✔ Reduction of wear and maintenance costs. Fewer passes mean:
✔ Long-term yield improvement. Maintaining organic matter and soil moisture leads to:
✔ Improved risk management. Better moisture retention and reduced erosion decrease production losses during extreme weather conditions, offering financial stability to the farm.

✔ Reduction of wear and maintenance costs. Fewer passes mean:
- Less machinery strain
- Reduced maintenance needs
- Lower spare parts cost
- Extension of equipment lifespan.
✔ Long-term yield improvement. Maintaining organic matter and soil moisture leads to:
- More stable yields
- Reduced risk in drought conditions
- Better utilization of fertilizers
This translates into greater return on investment per acre and a more sustainable agricultural income.
✔ Improved risk management. Better moisture retention and reduced erosion decrease production losses during extreme weather conditions, offering financial stability to the farm.
FEATURES
- 70 cm high tines with a replaceable share point for soil cultivation.
- Side wings for horizontal slicing of the soil.
- Upper wing that flips the soil.
- Choice of rollers such as tubular roller, bar roller, knife rings, spring roller, or steel rings.
- Serrated discs positioned between the rear row of tines and the roller for better chopping and incorporation.
