Güttler Mediana cultivated land rollers for beet drilling

The Güttler Mediana front-mounted rollers with working widths of 5.60 m and 6.00 m for 12-row monograin drills and the large Mediana 820 / 900 with working widths of 8.14 and 8.67 m for 18-row drills are paying off more than ever. There is also a suitable Mediana for 6-row drills.

New: cast iron or semi-synthetic

For the first time, alongside the machines with the familiar cast prism rings, the new semi-synthetic prism rings are also being offered in larger numbers. They reduce the weight of the Mediana 900 by approx. 400 to 500 kg and reduce the depth of the tracks when turning on the headland. The work quality is just as good as with the solid cast prism rings. The smaller 33 cm prism ring is made of synthetic material, sits firmly on the shaft and “has to” turn, while the larger 38 cm ring turns freely. The two prism rings of different sizes and the principle of “fixed ring – freely turning ring” give the Güttler Mediana front-mounted rollers their very good self-cleaning.

High output

This year many farmers will have to be patient. Some of the fields planned for sugar beet have been flooded, or the water from the heavy rainfall is standing right up into the topsoil. Sun and wind are needed to dry the fields and make them passable. Then work can begin with light spring-tine cultivators to break open the soil and help it dry. When the time comes, the Güttler Mediana front-mounted rollers put the finishing touch to the seedbed in front of the tractor while sowing takes place behind it.

Fine, firm and moist

Sugar beet pills like firm soil to be placed on, with plenty of fine soil around them and enough moisture to germinate. The Mediana does all of this in one operation. The topsoil nevertheless stays coarse and crumbly, reducing the risk of capping and erosion. The Mediana prism roller sinks 305 points per square metre into the soil and creates the desired seed zone with fine, firm and moist soil. The rising capillary water is available to the seed and supports germination and rapid early development – in case this summer turns out very dry again.

Cultivating in the field – front weight on the road

Compared with a front weight, the weight of the Mediana considerably reduces the wheel tracks of the front wheels during cultivation. This should not be underestimated: compaction in the wheel tracks is hard to loosen again at this stage. The Mediana, on the other hand, distributes its weight over the entire working width – the load and pressure become a benefit for the soil. And when turning, it is an ideal front weight that keeps the tractor balanced.

Good visibility

The whole working width can be seen clearly while working. For road transport, the outer sections of the Mediana are folded hydraulically forwards instead of upwards, which improves forward visibility on the road. Hydraulic folding is standard on the Mediana 560 / 600 and the Mediana 820 / 900.

On the move with Güttler

Every year brings different challenges for agriculture. Tight time windows have to be used to get the work done on time and to a high standard. The Mediana mounted prism rollers are just one example of the innovative products from Güttler. Whenever it matters: Güttler – Leading in soil structure.
