Horsch: Joker 3CT entry-level cultivator
Published on May 22, 2011
The Joker 3 CT with Mono TG bar is an entry-level three-point linkage mounted short disc cultivator in tine, disc and roller configuration aimed at tractors in the 150-200hp range. The high disc speed is ideal for fast stubble cultivation, stale seed bed preparation and incorporation of residues. The new Mono TG Bar attachment further enhances the operating capability of the Joker 3 CT, enabling it to be used as a primary, as well as a secondary, cultivator. The Terragrip tines give complete movement of the soil structure down to a maximum depth of 30cm. The Mono TG Bar is fitted with five TerraGrip legs, with a 500kg trip force and a 30cm trip height. The unique Mono TG bar depth control system uses a quadrant and pin adjustment set up. Two rows of serrated 460mm diameter, 6mm thick discs turn quickly providing an aggressive action with ease of penetration. Working at a 17-degree angle in pairs, the discs are mounted on a rubber suspension plate for good contour following. Mounting the discs in pairs ensures good clearance and trash capability. The Joker range features 35mm maintenance-free oil-immersed hub bearings. Three packer options are available: steel disc packer, rubber Farmflex or Rollflex spring steel packer. The versatile steel disc packer offers thorough consolidation and an even weather-proof surface in all different soil types, inter-ring scrapers ensure effective operation even in the wettest of conditions.
