Gearbox with integrated free wheel A free wheel is integrated into the housing to avoid counter shocks to the tractor PTO during rotor deceleration. Hydraulic offset (RM 155 – 180 – 210) The 40 cm hitch frame offset can be replaced with a hydraulic offset. In both cases, the centre of gravity is always close to the tractor. Optional equipment. Shredders for orchards – vineyards VK 95 – 115 – 135 – 155 / VKD 155 – 170 – 190 – 210 For shredding clippings and vine shoots and excellent for grass cutting 5 VK axial series / VKD offset series No protrusions, nor screw heads or sharp angles to catch on wires, cables or low lying branches. The reduced height under the hood allows the VK and VKD shredders to slide under even the lowest lying branches. Rear collecting rake and roller The collecting rake lifts up residue to be shredded and vine shoots that are pressed down onto the ground. The roller guides the machine accurately and keeps it stable on uneven or damp ground. Bevelled hammers Driven at a very high speed with each forged steel hammer weighing 1.1 kg (2.5 lbs), they shred clippings and vine shoots finely and cut grass impeccably.
