Cultivators help prepare the soil before sowing, as well as treat the soil before and after planting tuber crops. Almost all types of such devices are equipped with a standard set of functional elements consisting of a cutter and a wheel for transportation. You can expand the functionality by installing attachments. Features of such an upgrade will be considered in more detail.
Types of attachments for cultivators
Special attachments are used to perform the following tasks:
- weeding;
- plowing;
- hilling;
- planting;
- digging up.
The need to install additional elements due to the fact that most plants are able to process only the upper layers of the soil.
High power devices with a chain gear are suitable for mounting attachments.
Types of attachments:
- Hitch - acts as an adapter for securing the hitch. The universal hitch is adapted for any equipment, so it is better to free your choice on this model.
- The plow is used for plowing the soil and is suitable for processing virgin soil
- Grousers are designed to increase traction with viscous soil. For cultivators with low weight, in addition to the lugs, additional weighting agents must be installed.
- Okuchnik is used for planting any crops. Ease of use is that the land is wrapped after planting. There are disk and sagittal types of hills, and a combination of two species on one cultivator can greatly simplify the planting process.
- The potato planter is a container with metal wheels with spouts. This element is used for planting tuber crops.
- Trailer and additional pneumatic wheels - are installed for the transportation of additional goods.
- The adapter is used to transport the operator, and is a seat on wheels.
- Extenders for wheels increase track width.
For cultivators, the so-called "inactive" linkages listed above are suitable.
How to choose devices for different models
Initially, cultivators are not equipped with weights for the reason that the manufacturer does not know for what purposes the equipment will be used. At the same time, the addition of extra accessories makes the cultivator more expensive.
Most agricultural soil cultivation experts recommend selecting models with a universal hitch designed for easy attachment.
When selecting a functional supplement, attention should be paid to the height of the fit of the equipment and cultivator. Ideally, they should be the same, and if you buy a hinged element of the same brand as the equipment itself, this is much easier to achieve.
Each cultivator model has a list of attachments that can be attached to it. You can find their list from the manufacturer. Typically, authorized dealers have information about the compatibility of certain brands and models of cultivators with mounted elements.
You should study the capabilities of the cultivator in the factory configuration, and only then proceed with the selection of additional functional elements. Some hinges are interchangeable, so you can cut the furrows with both special equipment and hiller.
Thus, when selecting additional attachments, it is important to study the list of compatible elements for the model, as well as build on the necessary functionality of the future complete device.
