Stubble cultivator offers customisable design

Simple, reliable, and efficient machinery has never been more important. Protecting and maintaining the soil structure, tackling blackgrass and weed control, and battling increased fuel and labour costs, are only some of the challenges of modern agriculture.

With a simple, straightforward concept, the Güttler Supermaxx could be exactly what you need.

Standard tine arrangement across the board

Standard to the whole range of Güttler Supermaxx models is the tine and tine arrangement. The 45 x 12 x 660mm sprung tines are all fitted with reinforced helpers and are tough and durable but, most importantly, allow a high frequency vibration. This produces an even tilth, will bring loosened weeds to the surface, and incorporate stubble, chopped straw and any other crop residue.

Tines can be set to work in very shallow conditions and increase incrementally by 1cm with a simple pin arrangement. Tine depth is maintained with front-mounted gauge wheels if there is no rear roller or by a rear mounted Güttler Rollfix Roller.

Whilst the tine spacing between the tines is set to an optimum 12.5cm, the tines of the Supermaxx machine are set over five or seven rows and it is this spacing between the rows that spaces the tines to allow trash and stubble to pass seamlessly through.

Customisable design sets machine apart from the rest

Rollers: The Güttler lightweight synthetic ultra-roller for soil consolidation. Well-known throughout the market, the unique hard wearing but lightweight option of the synthetic ultra Güttler roller can be fitted to all the five-row versions of the Supermaxx machine. Depth control of the tines will be controlled by the roller – if no roller is fitted, the depth of tines is accurately controlled by gauge wheels and the rear levelling tines.

Levelling boards and additional harrows: Whilst standard machines are supplied with a single levelling harrow of 12mm sprung tines mounted behind the tines, options are available to fit an additional harrow or parallel levelling board behind the tines in any configuration to suit. This may be directly behind the existing harrow giving a ‘double row’ effect, between the tines and roller or directly behind the roller.

Hydraulic ripper boards and paddles: Hydraulically operated paddle boards are fitted in front of the tines on the trailed 9m, 10m and 12m versions of the Supermaxx as standard. These can be modified and fitted with 12mm ripper board plates if desired, and hydraulically operated ripper boards can be fitted to mounted machines.

Tine options: A wide range of tine points are available for the tines:

• 8mm thick reversible points are fitted as standard
• Hard wearing, reinforced tungsten tipped points – approx. 5–6 times the longevity of standard points
• 200mm wide stubble point with double bolt attachment
• New hard wearing GF200 forged stubble point with double bolt attachment now available.

Patented lock washer: Patented Wox ‘lockwashers’ are available for the fitment of tungsten tipped points to ensure secure fitment of the point to prevent loss during cultivation operations as tine vibrations can easily loosen standard bolt and washer fitments.

Seeder options: Convert this machine to a tine seed machine by fitting a Güttler hydraulic seeder unit. The 410-litre seeder as supplied on the Greenmaster system is ideally suited to the Supermaxx system. Simple fitment of seeder and access platform will result in a system perfect for establishing cereal and cover crops. New patented direct seed coulter boots are now available to deliver seed directly into the tine slot.

Compatibility with the Güttler range: The Güttler range of consolidation rollers are a perfect complement to the Supermaxx range. In particular, the trailed Master and Magnum range fitted with 45/50cm cast iron rings in unique ground contouring framed – giving complete soil coverage, leaving an ideal loose crumbly finish with firm consolidation beneath.
