Delta Flex 2 sets new standards in deep stubble cultivation. It comes with unique features like the Intelli Pack system for an even consolidation of the soil as well as
synchronised leveller and rollers. Dynamic design underlines that this is a completely new line made for high levels of efficiency and heavy-duty use.
Delta Flex 2 is the flagship of the stubble cultivators and a showcase for Kongskilde’s many years as a leading manufacturer in this field. The series will include both lift-mounted and trailed cultivators, with the 4 and 6 metre trailed versions first in line for market launch.
The unique design of the tines ensures optimal cutting and mixing of soil and residues for a quick decomposition process.
Deep cultivation
Delta Flex 2 is the versatile cultivator for conventional stubble cultivation and mulch tillage. The heavy-duty construction makes it ideal for working depths between 6 and 25 cm. Furthermore, a version is in the pipeline for deep cultivation up to 35 cm.
- With Delta Flex 2, we are introducing a heavy-duty stubble cultivator that is highly
efficient regardless of whether the farmer is working conventionally, with reduced tillage or organically, says Jens Møller Christoffersen, Product Manager of Kongskilde Industries A/S.
He emphasizes, above all, the new Intelli Pack system with three working modes for an even consolidation of the soil.
Intelli Pack for even consolidation and levelling
The Delta Flex 2 is launched with a unique hydraulic system – Intelli Pack – that adapts to the changing contours. This keeps a constant pressure on the rear roller, which ensures an even consolidation of the soil for an optimal seedbed and flexibility.
In the contour mode, a constant pre-set pressure on the rollers secures even weight distribution. The centre-mounted wheels control the working depth of the cultivator. This feature improves reconsolidation in hilly conditions and ensures an even surface, even for drilling.
Dynamic weight distribution
With centre-mounted transport wheels, the Delta Flex 2 can work without (or partly using) the roller – an advantage under changing conditions, or if there is a need to transfer weight between the wheels and the rear roller, e.g. in wet heavy clay soils. This is a versatile solution that reduces soil compaction and might reduce fuel
consumption.
Finally, the working depth can be set traditionally on the roller.
Easy to reduce number of tines
It is easy to change the mode from shallow to deep stubble cultivation or vice versa on Delta Flex 2. A new feature means that the tines can be lifted up to 35 cm, enabling deep cultivation with a reduced number of tines or reduced work width. Consequently, the same tractor can be used for different cultivation purposes.
Another innovation emphasizing precise cultivation is the built-in leverage principle where the levellers always maintain their position in relation to the rear rollers. When adjusting the work depth of the rear rollers, the levellers are automatically synchronized.
Improved manoeuvrability
The two wheels on the Delta Flex 2 are mounted centrally and inside the frame, which improves the overall manoeuvrability in terms of a reduced turning radius. Compared to the current trailed versions, the wheel dimensions have been increased for less compaction and better stability during road transportation.
The new rear roller is the second generation Vibro Pack in a new spiral design. The updated design secures an even more consistent consolidation of the soil for an optimal seedbed and agronomical benefits.
New design
The Delta Flex 2 are built upon the latest techniques resulting in an innovative dynamic and curved design, which emphasizes that they are a completely new generation of stubble cultivators. The strength of the construction has been improved to handle larger tractors and cope with more stress.
The first Delta Flex 2 stubble cultivators are launched in 2016.
