Einböck expands its tillage product portfolio with the Razor. This new flat cultivator combines razor-sharp, full-surface and ultra-flat tillage with flexibility and precision. Focus of the new development was on an ultra-flat, precise and full-surface cut, as well as a frame height for enough clearance of organic material.
The high level of adaptability is one of the key features of the Razor. The depth guidance can be quickly changed between following rollers or wheels with a tractor tire profile. For ultra-shallow tillage, it is essential to keep the working depth precisely. For this reason, wheels in front of the tine section ensure even better soil adaptation, which further increases the precision of the work. Behind the rear depth guidance, the three-row following weeder tines, guided by a parallelogram, ensure that roots, weeds and grasses are brought to the surface, uprooted and laid down on top to dry.
The Razor is equipped with the proven Herkulus spring-loaded S-tines and additional internal reinforcing springs. This combination ensures precise track and line stability, a full-surface cut and exact depth guidance. The ‘springy’ tine movement also produces the desired ‘chisel effect’, which promotes good uprooting and soil loosening. The duckfoot sweeps which are mounted on the tines have a line spacing of 15 cm / 5.90” and an overlap of up to 9 cm / 3.54”.
Adjustment from the cab
The fully hydraulic adjustment enables precise, convenient and time-saving machine adjustment directly from the tractor cab. Whether for quickly changing the working depth or making fine adjustments to the following weeder tines, the hydraulic adjustment is user-friendly, which means that the Razor is always optimally adjusted.
When it comes to ultra-shallow and flat cultivating, the Razor offers a number of advantages for tillage and economic efficiency. The shallow soil penetration reduces wear and tear and fuel consumption. In addition, the Razor is suited for integrated crop protection as a mechanical alternative to herbicides. With its razor-sharp sweeps, it makes ultra-shallow tillage a speciality. Whether it’s precise incorporation of cover crops in spring or flat stubble cultivation in summer, the Razor enables precise and sharp cutting down to a working depth of 12 cm / 4.5”.
