TINE
GOOD PENETRATION AND EXCELLENT MIXING SPECIAL ANGLE AND HOLLOW TINE
The first advantage of the Kverneland Triflex tine or of the shear-bolt version is the hollow tine technology with the ability to flex sideways by up to 7cm. The second advantage is the special shape of the tine with two working zones. From the point tip to the first angle is only 33° ensuring good penetration and loosening. The second zone with an angle of 73° provides efficient and homogeneous mixing of the topsoil without bringing clods upwards to the surface. The flexibility of the hollow tine helps to bypass obstacles below the field surface. Sideway forces are immense especially for standard forged and full material tines and load increased stress to the tine holder and frame structure. To avoid this stress the Kverneland tine made of fine grain steel and the use of proven heat treatment provides enormous strength to a simple piece of tube. Being flexible, this tube can then “flex around“ obstacles and erase stress peaks by dispersing it throughout the implement. The first lower zone of the tine with a reduced angle of 33°, lifts and cracks the soil like a subsoiler. This small angle also creates higher penetration helped by the pressure of the soil above. In the second part of the tine the angle is raised to 73° in order to ensure an excellent mixing of the soil with residues within the top surface. This ensures not only homogeneous mixing but efficient power requirement and fuel consumption. The tine holder is bolted to the frame. One of the many advantages of bolted tine carriers is the reduction in frame weakening when welding is required. With the tines being light (45kg) and fitted with two bolts, it is very easy to take them off to adapt the cultivator to the working conditions and the tractor available.
Efficient soil movement as much as needed.
