Towed field cultivator METHYS PCS series

Overview
The Methys PCS
Innovation lies in the redesign of a machine to optimize operation, fuel consumption and environmental impact. The unit offers an unprecedented horizontal and vertical clearance for precise soil following, designed for conservation agriculture and accurate shallow work.

Objectives and uses

• Reduce fuel consumption
• Scalp at 3 cm across the full width to preserve freshness and limit CO2 emissions
• Keep harvest residues on the surface: large clearance to avoid clogging with a tine tool
• Operate in the presence of heavy vegetation covers

Advantages and functional features

• Large horizontal and vertical clearance to prevent clogging and handle high volumes of residues
• Control of shallow working depth: 7 ground support points for precise soil following
• 12 depth-control wheels (depending on version/configuration)
• 3‑dimensional control via chassis/extensions with isostatic support and deformable 3D structure
• Truly towed machine to avoid following tractor movements
• Low fuel consumption: 3 l/ha on second pass and 6.5 l/ha on first pass
• Penetration power suitable for a first stubble-breaking pass, even with straw
• Capable of precise shallow work (2 to 11 cm)
