2.14 Working principle of the
rotary harrow and
the rotary cultivator
The tines
- of the rotary harrow are in “dragging”
position.
- of the rotary cultivator are in the “grip”
position.
The tines “on grip” of the rotary cultivator rip
up and crumble the soil. Tines “on grip” pull
the rotary cultivator into the soil. Thus, the
rotary cultivator, supported by the packer
roller, maintains a constant working depth,
irrespective whether the soil has been plou-
ghed or not tilled at all.
Good packing of the soil tillage implement
and the packer roller results from three
factors:
1. net weight of the packer roller (Fig. 2.9/
1).
2. net weight of the soil tillag eimplement
(Fig. 2.9/2).
For the rotary cultivator you have to add
- the force with which the tines try to
drag themselves into the soil
(Fig. 2.9/3).
Tines in the “grip” position have a separa-
tion effect: coarse soil particles are trans-
ported further than fine particles. The fine
soil is concentrated in the lower region of
the worked zone while the coarse soil par-
ticles remain on the surface (see Fig. 2.10),
protecting against panning of the soil.
