Quivogne Gladiator 3 m knife cultivator, demo machine, Veteli

Quivogne Gladiator knife cultivator

A new lightweight cultivator for stubble fields to speed up decomposition. Allows high travel speeds, so also suitable for a busier driver. 

Features: 

• The Gladiator is a robust implement with roller knives first and then discs breaking the crop. 

• Also ideal for handling stronger-stemmed stubbles such as oilseed rape, soy, sunflower, etc. 

• Can be used both at the front and the rear of the tractor

• Recommended travel speed 11–18 km/h

A new solution for stubble handling where roller knives first cut the crop transversely and then discs cut vertically and break the soil surface, incorporating the chaff into the soil. The knife cultivator can be used either in front of or behind the tractor. When used in front, a verge mulcher or another implement can be used behind the tractor as required for the desired result. 

Using the knife cultivator accelerates decomposition by incorporating the chopped material into the topsoil. Can be used in spring before sowing or in autumn for stubble management. 

Benefits: 

• Fast working speed saves time and fuel. 

• Discs grind soil into the ground, so decomposition begins faster. 

• Requires little power, so suitable for many tractor types. 

• Long service life: maintenance-free bearings and only knives and discs are replaceable or serviceable.
