The challenge "soil condition"

Belt rakes with rigid PU systems

RESPIRO-Technology

Extremely dry / hard

Machine runs more unsteadily

Elastic pick-up dampens, soft contact due to dragging tines

Extremely wet / soft - boggy soil

Narrow skids or jockey wheels – machine sinks in more easily

Sliding plate with large contact surface, PU does not sink in

Gravelly soil

Stones are shot forward and often also picked up (aggressive tine with higher speed)

Very low risk of small stones being lifted by dragging tines

Stony soil

Stones are shot forward and often also picked up (aggressive tine with higher speed)

Stones are only lifted when they come to rest on the forage mat

Sandy soil

Tine often comes into contact with sand due to rigid PU – rigid tine throws forward and upwards

Almost no contact due to flexible pick-up – in case of ground contact this is very gentle – sand stays behind

Loose topsoil

Loose soil is stirred up a little

Stays in place due to dragging tines and low tine speed

Docked areas lengthwise (hilltop position, trough position)

small or no angle adjustment – wheels or sliding shoes further away

Sliding plate close to the dragging tine and four-joint suspension guarantee minimum ground contact and lowest raking losses.

Cupid areas transversely (hilltop position, trough position)

No ground adaptation

Top: raking losses laterallyTrough (road embankment): extreme ground contact.

Slope

No raking losses or soil contact

No raking losses or soil contact

Ruts (forage in the tractor track)

Forage losses unavoidable – if these are to be minimised higher increase in soil contamination (aggressive tine)

Forage losses unavoidable – if these are to be minimised higher increase in soil contamination (aggressive tine)

Non-rolled arable land (stones, embankments)

Stones are easily carried away, embankments are levelled and the forage contaminated

Stones are largely left lying around, dragging tines deflect on dams

Unevenness in small spaces (holes, footprints, ruts, dams, etc.)

Narrow skid, jockey wheels fall into holes, gutters > massive ground contact, rotary rake chassis on hilltop > forage losses – the rest is shaved or leveled in

Smooth running due to flexible pick-up and sliding discs over unevenness, no sagging, raking losses and dirt ingress are minimal

Grazed areas

Extreme dirt ingress through holes and dams from footsteps

Low dirt ingress due to flexible pick-up, sliding discs and dragging tines with low tine speed
