Seed bed precision cultivator with folding frame
SANDOKAN is MASCHIO GASPARDO's spring tine cultivator. Designed to work at a shallow depth, finishing the seedbed and eliminating weeds prior to seeding. SANDOKAN comes in 4 to 6m widths and can be paired with tractors with a horsepower in the 120 to 190 range.
SANDOKAN comprises a fixed central section - made up of the frame, drawbar and wheels for trailing - and two side sections that can be folded for road travel.
In its semi-mounted folding version, SANDOKAN features a main frame that the modules carrying the tools are attached to. This solution was devised so as to be able to replace the tools easily to suit changing work and agronomic requirements.
The tools consist in gamma tines - arranged in 4 gangs - or delta tines in two gangs. The gamma tines, which have a straight profile and narrow tip, are less aggressive on soil, loosening the surface crust without excessive mixing to retain any moisture in the soil. The delta tines, which have a curved profile and wide tip, are suitable for working on different types of soil, are more aggressive and also prove effective in pulling out any weeds.
On the front, a levelling bar is fitted to intercept any large clods and bulky residue, and is followed by a cage roller that works by breaking up clods and levelling the soil.
Following the tools, there is a twin crosskill roller, which is aggressive on the remaining clods, and a levelling bar for final levelling.
A fine tilth is created courtesy of the vibratory action of the spring tines, which have a wide range of motion afforded by the silent block system connecting the upper and lower frame. The spring tines work in conjunction with the front and rear crosskill rollers, which minimize clodding in the soil, leaving behind levelled soil ready for seeding.
Four powerful hydraulic cylinders quickly fold the frame for easy transport with an on-road width of just 3 metres. Safe road travel is ensured by the rear trailer, which comes with an optional braking system, in compliance with European Mother Regulations for on-road travel.
