THE ADVANTAGES OF SHREDDINGADVANTAGES METHODS

Crop residue management

Improvement of soil structure

Pest and disease management Weed management

All elements that could hinder seeding or germination are removed from the future seeding row

Accelerated residue decomposition for quicker transformation into humus

Destruction of fungal inoculum and insect living environment for optimum crop growth

Destruction of pasture that could reduce the quality of grassland

Roller closer to rotor............................................................ Roller cleaned by tools ........................................................

Front protectors in galvanized steel ...........................

Low cost easy maintenance of roller bearings

Interchangeable

No maintenance

Increased wear and shock resistance

Ensured strength and stability

Optimum power transmission

Reliable and lower maintenance costs

No risk of slippage

Extremely robust

Increased rigidity, higher resistance against mechanical constraints – reliable articulations

Faced with an obstacle, the shredding unit pivots to the rear then returns automatically

Reduced section for fi ner shredding (Interchangeable if bolted)

Faster for improved residue suctionWide choice depending on use

Improved residue suction

On foldable RM: Moves the central strip towards the rotors

Optimum decomposition of non-compacted grass by roller

Optimum ground contouring

Optimum protection against shocks from stones (not the case with chains or plastic protectors)
