Greater efficacy for the LEMKEN Thulit weeder harrow
With the Thulit MF/1200, LEMKEN presents its first weeder harrow with more than 12 metres working width. The new model is based on the innovative properties of the Thulit MF product series launched last year.
The design with four bars and eight rows of harrow tines and hydraulic tine pressure adjustment is unique on the market. The tine pressure can be continuously adjusted from 100g to 5,000g across the entire width during travel and remains constant at every setting – for optimum and reliable work results.
Now up to 12.2 m working width
The new Thulit MF/1200 comprises five harrow sections. This means that various folding options are available for different applications. To work with a reduced working width, for example to avoid obstacles or to prevent overlapping, the weeder harrow can be folded into four or three working sections.
For greater ground clearance at the headland, LEMKEN offers the option of folding the weeder harrow into a V position. To do this, the outer folding segments are angled slightly upwards to prevent the tools from coming into contact with the ground. For convenient and safe road transport, the weeder harrow can be folded in on both sides to a transport height of 3.3 metres. The automatic transport locking system is active in all variants, making manual intervention a thing of the past.
Sophisticated concept
For the frame, LEMKEN uses torsion-resistant support profiles that guarantee both stability and low weight. The frame design with six support wheels at the front, distributed across the entire working width, has an extremely positive effect on the smooth running of the machine and thus on the guidance of the harrow tines to the soil surface. The Thulit MF/1200 can additionally be operated as a rigid implement or with ground contour adjustment.
Maximum flexibility for the best work results
Customers opting for the rigid frame will not need the optional support wheels behind the side panels. If the individual working sections of the weeder harrow are to follow the soil horizon at all times, the Thulit must be equipped with additional rear support wheels. This ensures maximum flexibility and perfect working results on hilly terrain. Precisely adjustable trailing harrows on the rear support wheels eradicate wheel marks and leave loosened weeds on the soil surface to dry out.
The Thulit MF/1200 harrow is now available in small quantities and series production will start in March 2025.
