THE SUSTAINABLE WAY TO PERFORM INTERROW CULTIVATION
New Holland's SRC Interrow Cultivators offer a sustainable approach to weed control, significantly reducing herbicide usage and promoting both environmental and economic sustainability in your operations. The range consists of 14 models, available in 3 and 5 tine variants, making them ideal for cultivating beet, maize, or sunflower crops. The cultivators offer adjustable row spacing ranging from 4 to 18 rows, with the flexibility to adapt between 45 and 75cm to suit different crops. This adaptability allows for efficient cultivation over maximum space, even at high operating speeds. Additionally, all models come with standard hydraulic folding for ease of use. For 3 tine machines, cultivation in rows with widths of 45-50cm is achievable, while 5 tine machines can effectively cultivate rows ranging from 60-75cm.
VIBRATING TINES
The patented vibrating tines penetrate the soil with precision to the set depth, offering agronomic benefits by breaking up the soil pan and enhancing aeration, which improves soil warmth and moisture retention. The vibrations also help uproot weeds, shaking the soil from their roots so they dry out and die quickly. The VCO tine, standard on 3-tine models, is engineered for precise operation at shallow depths, providing better cleaning with minimal soil disturbance. Universal tines are used on 5-row models.
Stabilising disc
The SRC Interrow Cultivator range features a single stabilizing disc, with the option to add a second disc on wider models. This setup provides 'self-steering' capabilities, allowing the cultivator to maintain an efficient working speed, even on uneven terrain and around corners.
Contour following
The parallelogram design ensures that the shares maintain a consistent working depth across all surfaces, including varying slopes. The suspension-style structure helps absorb longitudinal movements. The image on the left illustrates the structure of the largest 9.9m model, while the image on the right displays the system used in the smaller 3.7m, 4.7m, and 6.7m models.
Precision depth control
Each unit operates as an independent, self-contained cultivator with its own depth control, regulated by a puncture-proof depth control wheel measuring 29 cm in diameter and 10 cm in width. This design ensures stable depth management, with adjustments available up to 7 cm.
Adjustable row width
Row spacing can be easily adjusted using a single bolt per unit, except for the nine-meter models, which require two bolts. Additionally, tines can be laterally adjusted for further customization.
Rolling shields
The rolling shields safeguard the crop's leaves and roots while preventing weeds, seeds, and untreated soil from being thrown onto the crop rows. These shields are steplessly adjustable, with up to 9 cm of adjustment available.
Star shaped weeders
The optional star-shaped weeder units come with individual tines, allowing the SRC Interrow Cultivator to reach the edges of the crop and effectively remove weeds close to the plants. This helps prevent weeds from competing for nutrients meant for the cultivated crop. For machines with 45-50 cm row spacing, a 290 mm diameter star-shaped weeder is available, while those with 60-75 cm row spacing can use a larger 370 mm diameter weeder. An optional rear harrow is also offered.
