Köckerling tine stubble cultivators: performance and versatility for optimum soil cultivation

Köckerling tine stubble cultivators are synonymous with robustness, efficiency and flexibility in soil cultivation. Whether for shallow stubble cultivation, deep loosening or seedbed preparation, Köckerling machines stand out for their ability to adapt to the needs of modern farms. With a range of stubble cultivators including models such as the Quadro, Trio, Vector and Vario, Köckerling offers efficient, high-performance solutions for precision farming.

Köckerling stubble cultivators are equipped with TOPMIX tines, an ingenious system that guarantees a homogeneous mixture of soil and organic matter, a crucial criterion in direct seeding or mulch seeding methods. Indeed, a well-distributed mixture is essential to ensure uniform seed emergence and maintain soil fertility. Köckerling stubble cultivators work quickly and reliably, maximizing work efficiency and optimizing energy consumption.

The Quadro: the universal cultivator for every stage of soil cultivation

The Quadro is one of Köckerling's most versatile tine cultivators. It is designed to meet a wide variety of needs, from shallow stubble cultivation todeep loosening. This cultivator is particularly effective at mixing soil and organic residues, ensuring rapid and uniform germination of subsequent crops.

One of the Quadro's strengths is its ability to refine the soil to a greater extent than traditional stubble cultivators. This is particularly important in direct seeding or mulch systems, where the organic matter remaining on the surface needs to be evenly incorporated into the soil. The Quadro excels in this task, avoiding burying residues too deeply, which could harm seedling emergence.

Quadro technical specifications

• Working widths: 3.00 m, 4.00 m, 4.60 m and 5.70 m
• Number of tines: 11 to 21
• Tine spacing: 27 cm
• Undercarriage clearance: 85 cm
• Weight: 3300 kg to 5800 kg
• Power requirements: 140 to 240 hp

The Quadro is equipped with TOPMIX shares, which can be configured for different types of work:

• Crowfoot share: ideal for shallow stubble cultivation, with a 320 mm cutting width, guaranteeing an even cut across the entire soil surface.
• Finned share point: for intensive mixing of soil and organic residues, with a cutting width of 350 mm.
• Fine tip: with a width of 40 mm, specially designed for working deep into the soil.

Replacement of wear parts is quick and easy, thanks to a single-screw fastening system that reduces machine downtime and boosts productivity.

The Trio: a three-beam stubble cultivator for efficient soil cultivation

The Köckerling Trio is a three-beam stubble cultivator designed for maximum versatility. This stubble cultivator provides both shallow tillage and deep loosening, while ensuring even dispersion of organic residues. Its unique design ensures perfect mixing of soil and residues, guaranteeing optimum germination.

The Trio is particularly well-suited to farmers practicing direct seeding or mulch seeding. With its TOPMIX tines, it prepares a perfect seedbed while optimizing the mixing of organic matter in the top layer of the soil. This reduces the risk of excessive seed burial, ensuring better emergence.

Trio technical specifications

• Working widths: 2.50 m to 4.00 m
• Number of tines: 8 to 13
• Row spacing: 30 cm
• Undercarriage clearance: 85 cm
• Weight: 1460 kg to 2500 kg

The Trio is also equipped with TOPMIX coulters, offering different configurations to suit the needs of the farm:

• Crowfoot coulter: for shallow cultivation with a 320 mm cutting width.
• Finned share point: for perfect mixing of soil and organic residues.
• Cracking point: for deep loosening, with a width of 40 mm.

With its 530 mm STS roller, the Trio offers an excellent soil finish, making it the ideal tool for preparing the ground for seeding.

The Vector: the benchmark for intensive stubble cultivation

The Vector is a universal four-beam stubble cultivator designed for high performance in both shallow stubble cultivation and deep loosening. This model is equipped with TOPMIX tines, which ensure optimum mixing of soil and organic residues, while minimizing power requirements. The Vector is available in spring-loaded non-stop and hydraulic non-stop versions, making it a particularly versatile tool suitable for all types of soil.

Vector technical specifications

• Working widths: 4.60 m to 9.00 m
• Number of tines: 17 to 33
• Tine spacing: 27 cm
• Weight: 5950 kg to 9710 kg
• Power requirements: 220 to 550 hp

The Vector excels in shallow soil preparation thanks to its goosefoot shares, but can also be used for deeper work thanks to its cracking tips. It can work up to 35 cm deep, making it a versatile tool for all soil conditions.

The Vario: the heavy-duty, high-performance stubble cultivator

The Vario is Köckerling's flagship model for farms requiring intensive tillage. This eight-beam stubble cultivator is designed to efficiently mix soil and organic residues, guaranteeing perfect seedbed preparation. The Vario is ideal for simplified cultivation operations, where homogeneous mixing is essential to guarantee high yields.

Vario technical specifications

• Working widths: 3.00 m to 7.50 m
• Number of tines: 23 to 57
• Row spacing: 13 cm
• Weight: 4450 kg to 10020 kg

With its eight rows of tines, the Vario ensures deep mixing of organic residues and excellent soil consolidation. The 530 mm STS double roller ensures perfect soil levelling, for optimum crop emergence
