Separation tiller with SBZ 165 4FARMER seeder

Thanks to the possibilities of modern production of agricultural machinery , as well as technological progress, work on setting up lawns or cultivating the soil for sowing becomes less burdensome and more automated. For owners of larger cultivation areas or companies setting up gardens, agricultural machines are invaluable, allowing them to save time and achieve better efficiency of work.

In order to enjoy a beautiful, dense lawn or a large crop of vegetables and fruit, it is very important to prepare the soil properly. These works are primarily to make it fluffy, it cannot be too compact, but also not too light, additionally it is necessary for it to have an appropriate level of humidity and aeration. An important issue is to provide the right amount of nutrients that ensure proper growth of plants. Nutrients include the humus content in the soil.

The condition for success is proper preparation for such work. Manual preparation of the substrate, unfortunately, takes a lot of time and effort, and sometimes it can cause us a lot of unforeseen complications. Hence, more and more people decide to buy a tiller .

How does a tiller work? How does a separating tiller differ from a regular tiller?

A tiller is a machine that, when attached to a tractor, mechanically digs, breaks up, and loosens the soil. Thanks to its operation, we can remove old lawn turf, dig up the soil, remove weeds, and level the ground, preparing it for a new lawn or vegetable crop.

Knives mounted on a rotating shaft cut and crumble soil fragments. The knives in the SBZ Separating Tiller rotate in the opposite direction to the tractor's travel. A crucial element of the tiller's design are the stone-separating rods. The rotation of the knives sifts the soil through the aforementioned system of rods, which act like a sieve, separating larger particles from smaller ones. All the coarser particles, such as stones, sticks, roots, and larger clods of earth, land on the first lower layer of soil and are covered by the crumbled, properly prepared subsoil.

The rear roller of the separating tiller allows us to regulate the working depth of the machine, simultaneously producing a leveled and compacted soil ready for further cultivation. This is a major advantage of the separating tiller and how it differs from a standard tiller.

The main use of the separation roller is to help with establishing lawns, it is also an ideal tool for leveling previously disturbed soil.

What else makes the SBZ separating tiller with seeder stand out?

This machine has the ability to move slightly laterally , allowing for additional precision in positioning the machine behind the tractor. Tillers use a chain drive, which requires a PTO shaft with a safety device, such as a breakaway wedge or clutch, to protect the tractor's gears and the machine's transmission.

The SBZ 165 4FARMER separating tiller is simple in design and solidly constructed. The hinged hatch feature makes it easier to keep the machine clean and provides better access to the main shaft and the knife axle.

Above the hinged flap, two shock-absorbing elements are located on both sides of the machine. If a large stone or clod of earth gets under the tines, these elements protect the upper surface of the tiller from impact with the rising moving part of the machine.

Separating tiller with seeder – an irreplaceable tillage unit!

The SBZ model is a tillage unit that allows for comprehensive earthworks. The seeder is equipped with a lockable flap with seeder flap catches. These prevent uncontrolled flap opening and potential spillage of the spread product.

The seeder features a spreading adjustment mechanism. Opening or closing the holes located at the bottom of the seeder allows for the adjustment of sowing rate. The rotating seeder shaft located inside the seeder evenly distributes the sown product, preventing clumping or clogging of the seeder holes.

If you are looking for a unit that combines all the elements necessary for soil preparation and sowing, a separating tiller is definitely the product for you!
