Mzuri PRO TIL: Enhanced One-Pass Cultivation and Seeding
Polish manufacturer Mzuri has updated its PRO TIL machines, introducing a central lubrication system that eliminates the need for operators to manually grease approximately 130 lubrication nipples on 3-meter models. According to the company, the updated equipment maintains its basic structure of cutting discs and strip-tillage tines in the front with tine shares in the rear, while adding reinforcements to critical frame points, larger bolts, and larger bushings to increase longevity.
How does the PRO TIL reduce manual labor and wear?
The new central lubrication system automatically distributes grease throughout the machine. This removes the laborious task of manual lubrication for the operator, Mzuri reports. To prevent downtime, the company also revised the cutter bar suspension and added reinforced tires and rims with welded edges to increase impact resistance against stones.
Operators can now resolve blockages using hydraulic disc adjustments while the machine is in motion. Mzuri also increased the distance between the discs and the tillage tines to improve the flow of crop residues.
What features promote crop health and seed growth?
The PRO TIL is designed as a stubble cultivator that handles tillage, fertilization, and seeding in a single pass. By cultivating only narrow strips of soil and applying fertilizer across the entire depth of that strip, the machine creates a controlled environment for seed placement. Mzuri states this allows seed groups to germinate quickly and grow healthy to reach their full potential.
The system uses independent hydraulic systems to ensure uniform pressure on each section, which Mzuri says guarantees precise depth and optimal seed-to-soil contact. A disc set can be added to cut through excess crop residues and root systems, ensuring a smooth flow of material without interruption.
What are the technical specifications and costs?
Prices for the 3-meter model begin at 100,000 €. The machine utilizes a double-frame construction: the first frame handles tillage and fertilization, while the second frame manages seeding. This allows both sections to operate at two independently adjustable depths.
For seed and fertilizer delivery, the machines can be equipped with either a single 300-liter tank or a double tank system (2 x 300 liters). The double applicator allows for two different products to be distributed simultaneously in separate quantities. Seed distribution is managed by electric motors with adjustable speeds, and the RDS Artemis system allows operators to monitor and adjust application rates from the tractor cabin.
What may happen next?
The inclusion of reinforced components and automated lubrication could lead to a decrease in machine downtime during peak seasons. Because the system allows for the application of various seed types via selectable seeding shafts, farmers may be more likely to experiment with different cover crops. The ability to adjust working depth directly from the cabin may result in more precise soil management across varying terrain.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary benefit of the new central lubrication system?
