OVERVIEW
QUALITY THAT LASTS!
ACTIVE INTENSIVE SEEDBED PREPARATION
With the ROTAGO F, Kverneland introduces a power harrow which is available in two models: as basic and as ISOBUS edition. Both versions offer levelling bar and working depth adjustment on the go. As basic version the working depth is adjusted by the tractor hydraulics and as ISOBUS model more feasible via the tractor or Kverneland Tellus 1200/Tellus 700 terminal on the go from cab. It is the farmers’ experience and knowledge where the soil needs more or less intensive preparation. One button press on terminal or tractor hydraulic and the setting is done. The Rotago F is ready for all future farming concepts and challenges.
One concept - That fits together!

Pushed frame concept The patented depth adaptation of the ROTAGO concept with the pushed gear case allows the adjustment without re-adjusting the 3-point linkage of the tractor or of the rear roller. The main frame is directly linked to the rear roller and ensures that the pivoting point and gear case is in the center of gravity. This gives strong resistance to abrasion and torsion to the gear case in sandwich design. The wide, wear-resistant gear profile ensures reliable heavy-duty use. The bearings have a high basic load rating which offers increased security and reliability, giving an extended working life.
Tine holder & Tine First priority is durability and protection against stones and good access. The rotor shaft and tine holder consist of two parts for easy maintenance and long-lifetime, even in stony conditions. Very important – the tines are easy to change due to the Quick-Fit system. The two large bearings are very strong and the large distance between the bearings ensure maximum clearance and resistance to radial stress, even in the most extreme conditions. The forged boron steel tines prepare the seedbed by cutting, crumbling and levelling the ground. The tines are extremely hard wearing and fracture-resistant. The outer tines turn inwards, which together with the side deflectors avoid ridge formation. An important characteristic is the helical tine positioning which minimises the risk of damage (from stones) and ensures a more homogeneous and even load on
the trough. In addition, this special design also reduces the amount of wet soil brought to the surface (especially important in the spring time); the moisture stays next to the seed for improved germination. Rotor clearance Four rotors (8 tines) per metre ensures coverage of the entire working width. This represents an optimum number for thorough crumbling of the soil. Minimal torque on drive gears means minimal wear. Rear roller The final step of perfect seedbed preparation is consolidation. A weatherproof finish allows moisture retention when dry and transition (water infiltration) through the profile in wet conditions.
