KG rotary cultivator

Rotary cultivators are still the best all-rounders when it comes to seedbed preparation. Used in combination with a rear mounted or harrow-mounted seed drill, they are, for many farms, the ideal system solution.

KG Special rotary cultivator – the universal genius

The KG Special rotary cultivators, in working widths of 3 m, 3.5 m and 4 m, are ideally suited for seedbed preparation on heavy soils and for mulch sowing.

KG 3001 Special: for tractors up to 161 kW/220 hp
KG 3501 Special: for tractors up to 161 kW/220 hp
KG 4001 Special: for tractors up to 161 kW/220 hp

KG Super rotary cultivator – the “muscle man”

The KG Super, in 3 m, 3.5 m and 4 m working widths, is equipped with a high capacity gearbox for tractor horsepowers of up to 300 hp. The KG Super has reinforced tines as standard and can be ordered with hydraulic depth adjustment and oil cooler as options.

KG 3001 Super: for tractors up to 220 kW/300 hp
KG 3501 Super: for tractors up to 220 kW/300 hp
KG 4001 Super: for tractors up to 220 kW/300 hp

The folding KG 02-2 rotary cultivator in a working width of 4 m, 5 m or 6 m is particularly impressive with its high work rates. The Cultimix system means that the rotary cultivator is characterised by large clearances and unbeatable robustness.

KG 4002-2: for tractors up to 265 kW/360 hp
KG 5002-2: for tractors up to 265 kW/360 hp
KG 6002-2: for tractors up to 265 kW/360 hp

Exchangeable rear seeding unit – maximum flexibility

The rotary cultivator and the seed rail can be very easily separated by hand to allow the rotary cultivator to be flexibly used elsewhere. Despite a working width of 6 m, the complete seed rail can be disconnected in just 30 minutes. As a result, the rotary cultivator can be used as a solo machine. Apart from the Avant 02 seed rail, the KG 6002-2 can also be combined with a seed rail with eight Precea singling units.

The tines on AMAZONE rotary harrows and rotary cultivators are set at a special angle in relation to each other. This guarantees an even soil crumbling and a smoother machine running. Incidents of vibration and peak loading are thereby prevented. The machines suffer less stress, and the power and fuel requirement is reduced.

Strong rotor carrier

The tine carrier and shaft are forged in one piece from high grade steel. The shaft diameter is a heavy-duty 60 mm.

The tine carrier shaft is supported by bearings with the optimum bearing spacing. Trough sealing is done with a special cassette seal with an optimum sealing effect and maximum service life. In addition, labyrinth seals prevent the ingress of plant fibres.

Robust trough

The high-standing 8 mm thick gear case made in a trough-type profile with double skin base and welded-in bearing sleeves is extremely torsion resistant, which enables it to easily withstand the high forces that occur when transporting heavy packer rollers and pack-top mounted seed drills without cumbersome external bracings. Gear wheels and bearings run in a single oil bath and so are maintenance-free – there are no grease nipples.

The large frame depth, the completely smooth trough bottom without bearing housings and the long tines ensure the maximum clearance between the trough and the tine carriers. Even extremely large clods of soil or big volumes of straw can therefore pass through without hindrance. The tines have a long service life, i.e. low wearing metal costs. An excellent seedbed structure is achieved that promotes the optimum field emergence of the young plants.

1. Robust gearbox 
2. Highly-hardened spur gears with large teeth contact area 
3. Exact spacing of all bearing seats for a maximum smooth running 
4. Heavy-duty taper roller bearings with wide spacing between mounting points 
5. Large clearance between tool carrier and smooth trough base for blockage-free mulch sowing and optimum though passage 
6. Double sealing system with cassette sealing ring against oil loss and labyrinth seal against ingress of plant fibres and dirt 
7. The tine carrier and the shaft are forged from one piece and have a large shaft diameter; KG and KX rotary cultivator ∅ = 60 mm 
8. Quick + Safe System with a tool-less tine change solution and integrated stone safety protection

On the stone test track, all AMAZONE soil tillage implements are continuously tested under maximum load. This ensures the maximum reliability with all AMAZONE rotary cultivators.
