Koralin 9 K flat cultivator

The 38 centimetre wide DeltaCut duckfoot shares guarantee flat work across the entire surface from a working depth of two centimetres. They are optionally available with a carbide facing for up to three times longer service life with low wear.

The shares are rigidly mounted and can maintain their exact working depth. They are secured with shear bolts, but can also be equipped with an automatic overload protection. The laterally stable guidance of the tines also enables full-surface work on slopes.

Only the top layer of soil is cultivated with the Koralin 9. The roots of weeds, catch crops and emerged cereals are reliably undercut there.

The depth control of the LEMKEN Koralin is hydraulically operated via a double-acting spool valve. The hydraulic cylinders of the four side and centre depth control wheels are intelligently connected for this purpose. This ensures short set-up times and guarantees that the machine is aligned parallel to the ground. This means that the selected working depth is maintained from 2 cm across the entire working width.

The  FSW 400 flat bar roller for impressively high crumbling intensity makies it ideal for use in heavy soils.

The FRW 540 flex ring roller produces a light soil cover for organic matter.

The DRF 400/400 double roller is an all-rounder for any type of crop thanks to its integrated self-levelling system.

The double tube bar roller ensures good crumbling, levelling and reconsolidation and has a high load-bearing capacity on light soils.

The single-row trailing harrow can be used behind all rollers. This tool creates optimal germination conditions for volunteer cereals and weed seeds.

The double-row trailing harrow works particularly intensively and combs the cut weeds to the surface.

The hydraulically adjustable four-row harrow lifts plant residue and weeds and distributes them evenly on the surface, where they’ll dry and die off.

So far, it is as follows: Depending on plant growth, we cut green manure with a knife roller in late winter before turning it in with a disc harrow or plough. We used a shallow cultivator repeatedly to combat weeds as they subsequently emerged. We also employ the “false seedbed” technique, where we essentially prepare our fields ready for sowing. Any re-emerging weeds are then turned in before sowing.

The Koralin replaces our shallow cultivator. Because the shares cut at a shallow depth across the full width, we can even control problem weeds such as thistles, sorrel or couch grass better in multiple passes without drying out the soil. This pays off in the subsequent crop, which needs less hoeing: Manuel hoeing in between rows is particularly time-consuming.

The tractive power of our 200 hp Fendt tractor is plenty for this machine, as is its lifting capacity, if we don’t use the roller and automatic stone protection. An important feature of the mounted version is its manoeuvrability. That’s a great bonus for us in vegetable production because we always keep our headlands as narrow as possible.
