SUPERWEEDER
Four Rank                                                                       Cultivator-Harrow


Besides preparing an excellent seedbed, the 4 ranks of "Vibra" S-tines spaced on 5" centers in ranks 16" apart provide better clearance in trashy conditions.  The hefty 8" square tube drawbar provides the strength needed to utilize 4 ranks.  A hydraulically actuated Auto-Fold is standard equipment and the 22 ft. tongue with adjustable-height hitch will carry a 500 gal. (U.S.) sprayer listed below.  Maximum S-tine depth may be set manually, or adjusted hydraulically with the standard "roll-up/roll-down" hydraulic cylinders.

SUPERWEEDER  Features:

Four ranks of "Vibra" S-tines, dig, break up crusted soil and uproot weeds.  Cultivation depth can be set hydraulically for exact depth control.  Roll tines up completely for a "harrow only" operation.  Heavy Duty 5-bar Culti-Harrow sections equipped with the "bent" tooth follow to level and firm.  The seed bed is now ready for planting.
 

The heavy duty Superweeder, shown here folded for transport, is available in 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 ft.

A 5" S-tine spacing and streamlined underside provide excellent trash clearance. Heavy duty, reinforced lift arms allow on-the-go hydraulic dumping if necessary in extreme conditions.  S-tines have adjustable maximum working depths of 2, 3-1/2, and 5 in.  Rotating the tines with the hydraulic cylinders will always return them to the same selected depth.  
The optional hydraulic depth control system permits raising or lowering the entire drawbar for exact depth control.  Both sets of dual, oscillating hitch wheels are raised or lowered with two hydraulic cylinders connected to a rock shaft.  All S-tines are raised or lowered at the same time.   Due to the hinged wing features, this option is not available on the 60 and 70 ft sizes. Slave cylinders on the drawbar end wheels operate off of the hitch cylinders.  With this system, the drawbar and hitch both are raised or lowered the same distance from the ground.


S-Tine ranks are equipped with hydraulic cylinders to "roll" tines either partially or completely up.  Partial retraction can be used for minor depth adjustment.  Complete S-tine retraction permits the unit to be used as a Culti-Harrow only.

 

The four-rank Superweeder features a 22' hitch constructed of 4" x 8" steel tube.  This rugged hitch, whether equipped with the optional hydraulic height adjustment or not, can carry the 500 gal (U.S.) spray kit (listed below) for chemical incorporation.  Cable Auto-Fold is standard equiptment.

A heavy duty ductile cast knuckle permits maximum wing flex for ground contours and also allows the Superweeder to fold easily for transportation.

 

 

 

Hydraulically activated cable Auto-Fold releases or locks cables from the tractor seat, eliminating manual cable hook-up.  A safety spring eliminates accidental release in case of hydraulic pressure failure.
