Mounted field cultivator METHYS HDS

with rollerfor seed drills

Description
Stubble cultivator designed to accept a small‑seed hopper and pre‑equipped with a support for a distribution head to enable direct sowing of cover crops.

Summary

• Specialized stubble cultivator for precise, shallow tillage (recommended 4–7 cm).
• Developed for conservation agriculture, control of resistant grasses and very shallow false seedbed operations.
• Pre‑equipped to receive a small‑seed hopper and a distribution‑head support for cover‑crop seeding.
• Available in mounted and large‑width versions (examples: 3.22–3.75 m compact ranges; 5, 6, 8 and 12 m HDSTW ranges).
• Tandem wheel system (front and rear) maintains a horizontal frame and reduces rolling resistance; energy saving ~20–25% vs. steel roller.

Functional features

• Ultra‑precise shallow working depth (target 4–7 cm; range 0–12 cm depending on model).
• Multiple roller types available by model: cage, double‑U, tyre.
• Designed for seeding: option to mount small‑seed hopper and distribution head.
• Modular configurations: HDS, HDSW, HDSTW series with various working widths and disc counts.
• Tandem chassis with front and rear wheels for stable horizontal operation and lower power requirement.

Notes
Technical tables list multiple variants (roller types, widths, disc counts, power, weights). Exact values depend on model (HDS / HDSW / HDSTW) and chosen configuration; consult the technical sheet or product brochure for precise figures.
