The GÜTTLER MEDIANA front roller is the ideal solution for successful oilseed rape drilling. With its unique self-cleaning Prismenwalze® (prism roller), the MEDIANA ensures even seed placement and creates optimum conditions for reliable field emergence.

Your benefits at a glance

Perfect seedbed preparation: The MEDIANA creates a firm, moisture-conducting seed zone with a loose, crumbly soil structure on top. This protects against capping and promotes rapid germination. Weeds also emerge quickly and evenly in a single flush, so you can control them more effectively – whether mechanically or chemically.

Versatility: The MEDIANA is available in working widths from 0.98 to 8.70 m, rigid or hydraulic folding. This makes it flexible to use and lets it adapt to the different needs of your farm.

Easy on tractor and soil: Using the MEDIANA as a front implement makes optimum use of the tractor’s capacity while protecting the soil. This means a longer service life for your machines and an improved soil structure.
