Lemken Kristall 9

With their innovative shape, the newly developed TriMix shares combine three tools in a single share and thus provide a, previously unheard of, and more intensive mixing than any share types previously available.

With TriMix shares, the Kristall has the perfect equipment for the initial shallow stubble cultivation. The share points with their long parallel edges are optimised to combine good soil penetration with minimum draft. The overlapping arrangement of the wings guarantees that the straw is worked in intensively over the entire area, even at low working depths. All soil capillaries are broken, preventing the soil from drying out.

The tines and concave discs, for levelling, are arranged in such a way that the flow of soil comes to rest before the next tool. As a result, the Kristall always operates uniformly across its working width, without blockages, even under tough conditions. The concave discs behind the tines ensure additional good lateral distribution of straw and soil and reliably level the surface. A wide range of rollers provides optimal crumbling, reconsolidation and levelling in different soil conditions.

If the working depth of the Kristall compact cultivator is changed, the concave discs adapt to the new working depth without further adjustment. A parallel linkage holds the concave discs and the rear rollers in the correct position at all times and ensures they are constantly at the correct working depth. On the folding version, of the Kristall, a suspension system for each roller section ensures effective contour following, and even reconsolidation of the soil across the width.

With working widths up to 4 m, the foldable Kristall is also available in semi-mounted trailer version. The semi-mounted system takes the load off the tractor and guarantees safer road transport, even with large working widths. The semi-mounted versions can be supplied in two axle options: as transport axle system or as combined axle system for the use in combination with further implements.

In case of obstructions, an optional, maintenance-free auto-reset mechanism moves the tines up and to the rear and then returns them immediately to their working position. The significant height and the high release forces of 5500 N (550 kg) per tine guarantee fault free operation even at large working depths. The additional shear-bolt protects the Kristall if a tine gets caught under a stone or a root.
