With the Thulit MF/1200, LEMKEN presents its first weeder harrow with more than 12 meters working width. The new model is based on the properties of the Thulit MF product series launched last year.
The Thulit 4 MF/1200 feautures four bars and eight rows of harrow tines and hydraulic tine pressure adjustment. The tine pressure can be continuously adjusted from 100 to 5,000 grams across the entire width during travel and remains constant at every setting.
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 meters. The automatic transport locking system is active in all variants, making manual intervention a thing of the past.
Torsion-resistant support profiles guarantee both stability and low weight of the frame. The frame design with six support wheels at the front, distributed across the entire working width, has a positive effect on the smooth running of the machine and thus on the guidance of the harrow tines to the soil surface. The machine can additionally be operated as a rigid implement or with ground contour adjustment.
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 good 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.
