Quivogne Gladiator 3 m cultivator, demo machine, 2023, Veteli

Quivogne Gladiator knife cultivator

A new light cultivator for handling stubble fields and speeding up decomposition. Allows high travel speeds, so it also suits more time-pressed operators.

Features:

• Gladiator is a robust implement with knife rollers first and then discs breaking up the crop residue.

• Excellent for handling stronger-stemmed stubble, for example oilseed rape, soya, sunflower, etc.

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

• Recommended travel speed 11–18 km/h

A new solution for stubble field cultivation, where the knife rollers cut the crop residue crosswise first and then the discs cut vertically and break the surface structure, mixing the chopped material into the soil. The knife cultivator can be used both in front of and behind the tractor. When used at the front, a verge mower or another machine can also be used behind the tractor in addition to the knife cultivator, depending on the desired result.

Using the knife cultivator speeds up the decomposition process by moving the chopped material into the topsoil. Can be used in spring before sowing or in autumn for stubble field management.

Benefits:

• Fast working speed saves time and energy.

• The discs grind material into the soil, so decomposition starts faster.

• Requires little power, making it suitable for many tractor types.

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