Key features – Rolmako U382 seedbed cultivator



U382 cultivator tine – durability and performance




Facilitates agricultural work
and enables soil moisture retention

The U 382 cultivator is designed for pre-sowing soil cultivation. It loosens the top layer of soil, breaks up and crushes clods of crusted field surface, and compacts the substrate for better water absorption. The cultivator is particularly useful for cultivating plants that require an even field. The Rolmako cultivator effectively performs the pre-sowing procedure, leaving the field with soil loosened to the depth of sowing. During sowing, seeds are placed on a compact layer of substrate, covered with a loosened layer of soil, creating optimal water and air conditions for the initial development of plants.




Front roller, four rows of tines
and double rear roller

The lightweight design, featuring four working zones: a front string roller, four rows of strong spring tines, and an effective double string roller at the rear, is ideal for preparing compacted and even soil across the entire working width. The tine spring is equipped with reinforcement as standard and a basic share with a width of 35 mm or optionally 100 mm. The double rear toothed string roller ensures optimal depth maintenance during operation, excellent crumbling, and levelling of the field surface. The rear toothed string rollers also include an overload system and a ground copying mechanism.

Tractor track looseners for U382 cultivator

Tractors track looseners

When working with soils sensitive to compaction and reduced working depth, the use of tractor wheel track eradicators is advisable. Positioned directly behind the tractor, these eradicators lift, loosen, and level soil compacted by the wheels. The position of the wheel track eradicators can be adjusted both horizontally and vertically. The spring-loaded working element ensures consistent release force. Effective loosening of the tractor wheel tracks eliminates uneven plant emergence post-sowing.



U382 front levelling drag

Front leveling drag

The front drag is designed to pre-level and break up larger clods. Due to the leveled surface, all tines operate at the same depth. This is an effective levelling tool. Depth adjustment is achieved by inserting the pin into the appropriate hole without tools. The front drag is mechanically adjusted and features overload protection through spring amortisation. The precisely leveled soil surface enables even compaction and loosening of the seedbed. The front drag used in cultivators has a simple, solid, and reliable design.



U382 angled front string roller
