The Cultimer is just one of the machines in Kuhn's cultivation range.
Kuhn demonstrated the 3m model from its Cultimer stubble cultivator range - which now comprises six different working width formats from 3-8m - at the Tillage-Live demonstration in mid-September.
The Cultimer offers soil loosening, levelling and pressing across the full width of the machine in a single pass. It combines three rows of blade tines, a set of levelling discs and a roller press.
Generous underbeam clearance of 84cm reduces the risk of blockages even when working in high levels of plant residue. The curved form of the tine and deflector ensures intensive mixing of soil and plant residues at a range of working depth settings from 5–30cm.
Working depth is adjustable by pins, and setting of the levelling discs and roller is combined, making the overall set up easy and accessible. The T-ring roller, fitted as standard, provides even pressing across the soil surface to encourage germination of weeds and reduce rutting that might otherwise harbour pests such as slugs.
Protection of the frame is enhanced with a double spring facility for each tine leg. This also ensures good penetration helps maintain a constant working depth.
The Cultimer sits alongside Kuhn’s Optimer, Discover disc harrows and Mixter machines in what is now a comprehensive range of stubble cultivation and straw-incorporation machinery.
