Abstract
A horizontal-axis cutter for soil cultivation of the type comprising a horizontal-axis rotor (2) fitted with a number of blades and a gear motor (4), connected on one side to the power take-off of the tractor and on the other to the rotor, in which the gear motor is located in the front part of the machine, forward of a vertical axis A--A passing through the rotor axis. The cutter includes a pair of stiffening bars (10. 11), one fitted at the front of the machine and the other at the back of it, the stiffening bars constituting an integral part of the machine frame and being able to slide inside corresponding seatings in a support (1) to be connected to the power take-off of the tractor.
Claims8
A horizontal-axis cutter for soil cultivation as the cutter moves in a working direction, comprising:
- a front bar (10) extending transversely to the working direction;
- a rear bar (11) extending transversely to the working direction and spaced rearwardly from the front bar with respect to the working direction;
- a pair of spaced apart side plates (12), said front and rear bars being fixed between said side plates;
- a horizontal-axis rotor (2) carrying tools for cultivating soil, mounted for rotation between said plates and between said front and rear bars;
- a support (1) for connecting the cutter to a tractor, the support being slidably mounted for movement transverse to the working direction on said front and rear bars;
- means (22) for locking said support at a selected transverse position between said side plates and to said front and rear bars;
- a gear motor adapted to be connected to a power take-off of a tractor, mounted to said support and connected to said rotor for rotating said rotor;
- and
- said rotor having a horizontal axis and a vertical plane (A--A) extending through said horizontal axis, said gear motor being located forward of said vertical plane with respect to the working direction.
