2018 Pottinger Fox Tines

While the power harrow works with active, driven tillage tools (the rotors with tines), the compact combination uses passive tools in the form of harrow tines or harrow discs.

The FOX is equipped with harrow tines arranged in 2 rows to provide a fine, crumbly seedbed. The angle of aggressiveness of the tines can be adjusted in 3 positions and they are particularly suitable for light to medium soils with low levels of harvest residue. For very light, sandy soil it is also possible to use a flat bar roller in front to compact the soil slightly ahead of the tillage tools and improve the support provided to the FOX seed drill combination.

On the FOX D discs are used to prepare the seedbed. The discs are mounted on rubber elements that provide a degree of vertical travel and are also suitable for soil with a fair quantity of stones. The discs have a diameter of 410 mm and are fitted with sealed bearings. Their small diameter has a positive effect on breaking up and mixing the soil because the smaller the diameter the faster their speed of rotation.
