Güttler wins first prize for its new knife roller

The knife roller is an in-house development, differs from other manufacturers’ products in a number of interesting details and will be officially presented internationally for the first time at Agritechnica.

High cutting frequency

Seven sharp knives are mounted on the new Güttler knife roller with a diameter of 360 mm. This achieves a high cutting frequency and better chopping of the vegetation – one of the reasons for the award in Hungary. The cutting knives are made of high-quality material for a longer service life and an optimum cut. The helical arrangement of the knives and spring-loaded bearing plates ensure smooth running.

The levelling bar is integrated into the parallelogram linkage, runs very close to the ground and guides the depth. The robust bar flattens the standing plants and tensions them for a perfect cut, improving the way the machine works. This makes a 2nd knife roller unnecessary.

6 metres wide

The new Güttler knife roller MasterCut 600 is divided into two sections for good ground adaptation and an absolutely even weight distribution across the entire working width. This also allows the 6.00 metre working width to fold easily to a transport width of 2.90 metres. If required, a weight carrier can be purchased as an option to ballast the knife roller with additional Cat. 2 tractor front weights already available on the farm.

The Güttler modular system

Just like the front-mounted Güttler prism rollers, the MasterCut knife roller is useful front ballast on the road and when turning, and does useful work in the field. At the rear, there is a choice of implements for cultivating the soil and sowing green cover. The Super Maxx Culti with seeder and Synthetic Ultra prism roller or the heavy Matador prism roller with tine section and seeder are ideally suited to this. They help to implement the new CAP 2023 rules in a practical way and for the benefit of the soil and the organisms living in it, to keep and store water in the soil, and to achieve higher and more reliable yields in the following crops.

Güttler innovation

Güttler is presenting this important new product on the Agritechnica stand in Hall 11 C 55. All visitors are invited to find out about the new MasterCut 600 and to take part in a competition. With the new knife roller, Güttler once again underlines its innovative development work, true to its guiding principle: we think from the soil and the plant upwards to make our customers’ work easier.
