The foldable rotary harrows “Rotago F” by Kverneland can operate independently for soil refinement or in combination with the “Cb-F” seed bars and the “f-drill” front-mounted tank
Efficient Soil Preparation for Precision Seeding
Soil refinement is essential for creating optimal conditions for seed drills. A well-leveled and uniform seedbed ensures precise seed placement in terms of depth and row spacing. There are two primary approaches to achieving this: passive mechanical tillage using trailed implements or rotary harrows, which provide a more intense clod-crushing action. While trailed equipment may struggle in clay-rich soils where plowing creates large, compact clods, rotary harrows effectively operate even in challenging conditions, delivering optimal soil fragmentation.
The Kverneland Rotago F
The foldable rotary harrows “Rotago F” by Kverneland are designed for standalone use or in combination with the “Cb-F” seed bars and the “f-drill” front tanks. The standard “f-drill” tank has a capacity of 1,600 liters, while the “Maxi” version expands to 2,200 liters.
The “Rotago F” series includes four models with working widths ranging from 4 meters to 6 meters:
- 4.0 meters
- 4.5 meters
- 5.0 meters (new for 2025, ISOBUS-compatible)
- 6.0 meters
For road transport, the hydraulic system folds the two working sections upward, ensuring compliance with legal width restrictions.
Smart Adjustments and ISOBUS Compatibility
All “Rotago F” harrows, whether ISOBUS-compatible or not, feature “on-the-go” adjustments for the leveling bar and working depth. Traditional systems require pre-set adjustments that remain unchanged throughout the job, but the “Rotago F” allows real-time parameter adjustments directly from the tractor cab. Basic versions utilize hydraulic distributors, while ISOBUS-compatible versions integrate seamlessly with the tractor’s terminals. Kverneland offers two ISOBUS monitors:
- Tellus GO+ (7-inch color display)
- Tellus Pro (12-inch color display)
Exclusive “Floating Box” Depth Control System
A patented “floating box” depth control system ensures perpendicular depth regulation without requiring further third-point or rear roller adjustments. A parallelogram linkage keeps the harrow frames parallel to the ground, allowing independent movement from the leveling bar. Additionally, electronic sensors monitor settings to prevent overloads. The self-supporting harrow frames maintain durability while remaining lightweight, reducing power requirements. However, for optimal performance at wider widths and in difficult soil conditions, high-performance tractors of up to 400 HP are recommended.
