Overview
The AGRIVAUX METIS 300 is an inter-row cultivator controlled by the SS300 side-shift frame. It is designed for precision field work including inter-row hoeing, soil preparation, strip-till, seeding, planting and band spraying. The machine integrates ISOBUS control and multiple automatic guidance options for efficient, repeatable operations.

Key Features

• SS300 side-shift frame: Detachable from the cultivator and usable for soil preparation, strip-till, seeding and band spraying.
• Stabilising discs: Manual or hydraulic adjustment; positive toe-in improves course stability on slopes.
• Adjustable row spacing: Compatible with row spacings from 12.5 to 150 cm.
• Hydraulic weight transfer: Each unit parallelogram has a hydraulic cylinder with free oil flow between units to equalise ground pressure across gauge wheels.
• Trailing gauge wheels: Minimise steering influence and reduce pull resistance.
• Unit lift to 45°: Tool units can be raised to 45° while gauge wheels remain in contact, keeping the assembly parallel to the ground and maintaining guidance accuracy.
• Graduated spring brackets: Simplify tool spring positioning and ensure secure retention.
• Multiple tool mounting positions: Allow positioning of sweeps, finger weeders and harrows to match crop and soil conditions.
• Flat sweeps and rotary finger weeders: Ensure uniform working depth and safe operation within young crop rows.
• Tine harrows: Level soil and dislodge soil from weed roots.
• Automatic guidance options:
  • Manual joystick
  • Camera
  • Standalone RTK
  • RTK linked to tractor RTK
  • Mechanical feelers
  • Ultrasonic sensors
• ISOBUS terminal: CCI-compatible for intuitive machine control.
• CAN bus communication: Reliable vehicle-network interface.
• Adaptable spraying: Configurable to spray on the crop row or between rows.
• Lighting and road equipment: Field lights and transport fittings compliant with CE requirements.

Available Options

• Hydraulic stabilising discs for fine adjustment to terrain.
• Preparation for variable row spacing to reposition individual units.
• Spraying system for on-row or between-row application.
• Treated sweeps to preserve cutting performance.
• Flexible rotary finger weeders for in-row work without crop damage.
• Cutting discs to prevent soil push and crop uprooting.
• Flanged gauge wheels to reduce clogging when closing rows.
• Two gauge wheels per row for increased accuracy.
• Individual 45° unit lift, manual or automatic, maintaining gauge wheel contact.
• Preparation for RTK antenna.

Tractor Requirements

• Hydraulic supply: continuous-flow circuit or load-sensing system.
• Double-acting hydraulic connection for folding.
• Single-acting hydraulic connection for hydraulic stabiliser adjustment.
• Single-acting hydraulic connection for hydraulic weight-transfer system.
