Rotary weeder RC 1200 M1

mechanicalmounted

Short description
The precision rotary cultivator RC (Rotary Crusher) is designed for crop care with high area output. Intended as a crust breaker and crop-care implement, the machine provides hydraulically adjustable, nearly constant tool pressure per star tine.

Working principle
The optimal ratio between the number of star tines and machine weight makes the RC particularly effective at breaking soil crusts. Each star tine can apply up to 30 kg to the soil. The unique construction ensures an almost constant tool pressure throughout the spring travel. Pressure is adjustable hydraulically as standard.

PRECISION

• Continuous crust breaking
• Constant pressure throughout the spring travel
• Good soil adaptation
• Original Yetter star tines
• Each star tine individually suspended and mounted
• Uniform working result across the full working width
• Effective performance in wheel tracks

VERSATILE

• Optional hydraulic section lift for every 1.5 m working section
• High working pressure up to 30 kg per star
• Suitable for ridge cultures
• Machine centre of gravity close to the tractor → reduced lift capacity required
• Multiple uses: crop care, crust breaking, cover crop management, reduction of cover crop, stimulation of volunteer cereals/rape germination

COMFORT

• High area performance
• Innovative frame concept with compact folding
• High manufacturing quality
• High working pressure up to 30 kg per star
• Stone protection grid
• Reliable weed control
• Hydraulic adjustment of working pressure
• Hydraulic transport lock

Applications

• Mechanical weed control
• Covering displaced weeds
• Promoting soil life
• Stimulating tillering

Proven Yetter star tines
The proven Yetter star tines deliver a consistent and durable working result. Their self-sharpening tips make the RC low-wear and suitable for high-area performance. The tips penetrate the soil, break the crust and simultaneously lift weeds, enabling a shallow and water-conserving operation.

Standard equipment

• Complete machine with original Yetter star tines
• One spring element per star tine to maintain constant working pressure
• Individual suspension for each star tine
• Hydraulic working pressure adjustment
• Stone protection cover
• Hydraulic transport lock
• RC 600: with package folding
• RC 900/1200: with M-fold and integrated V-fold

Combination options

• RC 600 M1: Compatible with pneumatic seeders with electric fan, electric fan PLUS or hydraulic fan PS 120 M1, PS 200 M1 and PS 300 M1 including deflector plate mounting and platform kit
• RC 900 M1 & RC 1200 M1: Compatible with pneumatic seeders with hydraulic fan PS 500 M2 and PS 800 M1 as front versions (distributor head in preparation)

Hydraulic note
Two double-acting control circuits are required for folding (RC 600 M1). Three double-acting control circuits are required for folding (RC 900 M1, RC 1200 M1).
