A multitude of new and proven features as well as numerous customisation options claim to make the new SYNKRO stubble cultivator a true all-rounder in conservation tillage. The linkage-mounted, 2-gang (rigid, with a working width of 2.5 m or 3 m) and 3-gang (rigid or folding, 3 m to 5 m) SYNKRO universal cultivators are suitable for stubble cultivation, primary tillage in autumn, seedbed preparation for mulch drilling, and terminating cover crops.
The rigid variants are now also available with depth wheels as an option. These claim to ensure a consistent working depth, particularly on rough ground and undulating fields, which is perfect for preparing the soil ahead of the seed drill.
This means that the rear roller can be easily removed from both the rigid and folding versions when required. Working without rear rollers claims to result in a loose, non-consolidated soil structure, for primary tillage in autumn and for farms that operate without deploying a plough. When used without rear rollers, Pöttinger claims that the organic matter remains on the surface, significantly reducing the risk of soil erosion.
The SYNKRO V models with hydraulic folding have four parking stands available as an option. This allows the machines to be stowed safely in the folded position to save space. In addition, the symmetrical tine configuration on these models ensures that they operate without side pull and produce excellent levelling results.
Convenience and reliability
The NOVA mechanical stone protection system with horizontal springs and a triggering pressure of 550 kg is now claimed to be maintenance-free. The levelling tools on the SYNKRO V can be adjusted from a central point and are now equipped with overload protection on all models. Adaptable settings, a selection of tillage tools, and a choice of equipment options, allow a site-specific strategy to handle a wide variety of operating conditions.
The new SYNKRO cultivators from Pöttinger claim to tick all the boxes for convenience, reliability and versatile applications. With their choice of configurations, Pöttinger claims that they are ideal for small family-run farms as well as large farming operations and machinery rings.
