Tillage & Soil Preparation

01

Primary or secondary tillage

Distinguish soil inversion, deep loosening and seedbed preparation.

02

Rotor, discs or tines

A rotary tiller, power harrow, disc implement and passive tine implement work differently.

03

Soil and residue

Describe soil texture, moisture, compaction and surface residue.

04

Width and depth

Match the required working width and depth to traction, PTO power where needed, and lifting capacity.

Installation requirements

Confirm the implement fits your tractor

Before ordering, send the machine identification and the connection, power and working information relevant to this product.

  1. Tractor identification

    Provide make, model, engine power and rear lifting capacity.

  2. Mounting or drawbar

    Three-point hitch category or the specified towing connection.

  3. Power for driven tools

    PTO power and speed for rotary tillers and power harrows only.

  4. Soil and working size

    Soil type, working width, depth and residue conditions.

Selection questions

Questions before choosing a tool

Is a rotary tiller the same as a power harrow?

No. A rotary tiller uses a horizontal rotor; a power harrow uses a different vertical-axis rotor and tine arrangement.

Does a reversible plough need PTO power?

Its ground-engaging work is passive. Hydraulic reversal requires the specified hydraulic connection; it is not a PTO tilling rotor.

Does machine power or weight alone establish a fit?

No. Check the mounting connection, lifting limits and the power or hydraulic supply specified for the selected tool.

What should I provide when comparing product types?

Describe the material, required result and working dimensions. Include the machine model and the connection information listed above.
