New compact disc harrows – now a multi-tool
- Calls to reduce the application of crop care products in arable farming are getting increasingly louder. As a result, stubble tillage is becoming more important as a good option for mechanical weed control
With the Rubin 10 compact disc harrows, Lemken offers the perfect machine to match farmers’ individual requirements and needs in every application. The Rubin 10 ensures intensive mixing of soil and regrowth, even at shallow working depths and in difficult conditions.
Even the basic version of the headstock-mounted Lemken Rubin 10 MR is just right for a wide range of applications. This machine is available in a rigid version with a working width of up to 4 metres. The series continues to feature proven equipment and technology.
For the semi-mounted Rubin 10 TF, wthe pick-up effect and ensuring that the straw is incorporated more evenly across the field. The proven levelling tine section from the Lemken Heliodor series of compact disc harrows is used on the Rubin 10 TF when the compact disc harrow is used for seedbed preparation. Large clods are pressed into the soil, where they can be better cut and mixed by the disc section. It is also possible to use the tines in either the drag or grip position to vary the intensity of cultivation.
With the cutting roller, Lemken offers a new option for front tools that is particularly useful for rape seed or sunflower crops and also helps combat against the European corn borer. The six blades cut and shred the organic matter before the disc section takes over. The helical shape of the cutting roller ensures smooth operation, while the open design prevents blockages.
To enable farmers to benefit even more from the very wide range of rollers available, Lemken is introducing a quick-change roller system for the Rubin 10 MR and TF. This allows the farmer to switch between different single and double rollers very quickly and with even less effort so that they can optimally adapt the implement to individual requirements.
The two compact disc harrows Rubin 10 MR and TF will replace the existing versions from 2025.
