Krause Introduces HUTCHINSON, Kan. Krause Corporation recently announced the introduction of a giant five-section field cultivator, the 5630 Series. Offered in 47 ft.-62 ft. sizes to match the needs of large opera tions, the 5650 fills a need for a large heavy-duty field cultivator that was designed to handle high residue conditions when preparing seedbeds or incorporating herbicides. Five bar main and wing frames feature a residue-tolerant 123-in ches of fore and aft clearance. New heavy-duty two-piece K- Tines, standard equipment on the 3630 Series, provide 23-inches of underframe clearance for opti mum residue flow through. The two-piece K-Tine features a rugged 1/2-inch x 3-inch upper leaf spring area and a high side loading strength to prevent the shank from “walking” around laige weeds. Standard shank spac ing is 9-inches to provide improved residue flow through and preserve more residue on the soil surface. Minimum side-to side shank spacing of 36-inches on 9-inch spacing or 24 inches on 6 inch spacing ensures ample residue clearance. Six-inch shank spacing and/or spring cushioned C-Shanks are optional on the 3630. Spring cushioned C-shanks, with an 9-inch trip height, are a good choice for rocky field conditions. A positive mechanical depth control system eliminates unwanted depth change problems because of hydraulic cylinder leakdowns associated with single point depth control systems. Depth control and side-to-side leveling is accomplished on each section with a quick and easy-to adjust hand crank.
