Amazone introduces the FW 580 flex ring packer roller, for Cenio and Cenius mounted cultivators and Catros mounted compact disc harrows. Thanks to its open design with a ring spacing of 200 mm and its narrow roller core, the roller is suitable for a broad range of applications on both sandy and loamy soils.
Thanks to the continuous spring action of the rings, the roller with a total diameter of 580 mm produces a lot of fine soil, whilst ensuring deep reconsolidation and a loose soil surface. These properties make it tailored for targeted seedbed preparation. In addition, the closed rings reduce the carry-over of soil and weed seeds. This helps to improve field hygiene, especially when working in different fields.
The excellent cleaning effect created by the spring action of the rings ensures reliable operation, even in damp and sticky soil conditions. Thanks to the small roller tube diameter of 140 mm, the roller offers high through-passage on light sandy soils. The arrangement of the rings ensures a reliable self-driving effect.
An optional sprung cleaning system offers additional functionality and effectively prevents the roller from sticking, even in the most demanding soil conditions. A harrow system ensures finer crumbling of the seedbed and supports precise placement of the seed. Both systems also contribute to additional levelling on very light soils.
Thanks to its low own weight, the flex ring roller can be easily lifted by smaller tractors both at the headland and when travelling on the road.
