Grimme presents the new generation of its GF series rotary tiller with  ‘Go-Clean concept’, combining the previous models of the GR and GF series in one machine. It is equipped with a new rotor, new tine geometry and an quick-change tine system.

Easy and safe access to the interior of the housing.

The optimized geometry reduces the overall weight as well as the required lifting and drive force. In addition, the well-known “hybrid ridge shaping unit” from the PRIOS potato planter is available. The new generation of cultivators features a hydraulically hinged housing across the entire working width. Flexible PU elements in the housing minimize soil adhesion and also reduce noise emissions in stony conditions. Thanks to the PU housing elements, sticky soil can be removed more easily, reducing the spread of soil-borne diseases.

Quick tine change system

The new tine geometry and tine arrangement on the rotor shaft ensure that the soil is finely crumbled, creating an optimal seedbed for subsequent vegetable or potato cultivation. The new tine quick-change system allows tines to be changed within 60 seconds per tine. The hybrid-ridge shaping unit can be flexibly converted and adjusted to different soil conditions and customer requirements in the field. The hybrid ridge shaping unit combines ridge crown plates and cage rollers to create stable and smooth ridge flanks and an open-pored ridge crown.
