U453 cultivator tines – accurate soil penetration and stubble cutting.

Cultivator tines

The U 453 stubble cultivator is equipped with widely recognized functioning systems, including a four-element working system with a heart-shaped share and a five-element system with a split share. Both configurations ensure aggressive soil penetration and effective undercutting of crop residues. The working angle can be adjusted by repositioning the screw holding the tine in both the screw-protected and spring-protected variants. In challenging conditions, a larger attack angle can be applied to the working elements, enhancing the machine's ability to penetrate hard soil. Using original spare parts guarantees the same quality of working elements as those in the factory-new machine.



Spring protection system in the U453 grubber – overload control in agricultural machinery.

Spring protection

Basic screw protection can be problematic in areas with numerous obstacles. In stony soils, stone protection with maintenance-free, robust springs is recommended. When the tine encounters a stone, it moves away along with the leg, compressing the spring. Once the obstacle is surpassed, the wing coulters automatically return to their working position. Each tine independently responds to obstacles, and the spring helps minimize collision forces and quickly restores the component to its precise working position. Spring protection for the tines in the stubble cultivator is available as an additional option.



Levelling discs of the U453 stubble cultivator – effective soil mixing and levelling.

Leveling discs

Levelling the soil is essential for proper compaction. This task is managed by the levelling discs. Mounted on the beam in front of the tillage roller, they can adjust the distance from the working elements, which is crucial in high stubble and large accumulations of straw. Each disc can be individually adjusted and appropriately adapted to the working speed. The levelling elements are made of boron steel. The solid construction of the disc hub ensures long service life. A pair of edge discs for levelling side ridges is standard equipment for every stubble cultivator.



Spring comb beam in U453 – precision distribution of stubble residues.

Spring comb beam

The manufacturer optionally installs a beam with a spring comb behind the disc section, ensuring the straw is evenly spread across the field's surface, thereby preventing areas of high straw accumulation that hinder proper cultivation. Uniform straw distribution is crucial, as it ensures consistent development conditions for the next crop across the entire field. The spring comb is an effective tool that enhances cultivation, offering optimal starting conditions for sown plants.



Cover crop seeder as an optional accessory for agricultural machines from Rolmako.

Aftercrop seeder

We equip our cultivation machines with catch crop seeders in cooperation with specialists from APV, who offer a wide range of catch crop and fertilizer seeders.
