LEVELLING boards and tines are available on smaller versions of Knight Farm Machinerys Triple Press.
Complementing the existing 6-10m (20-33ft) wide range, the smaller 2.8-5m (9.1-16.4ft) models can be equipped with a cultivation section, between the drawbar and double roll section.
"Its a modular construction weve used on the smaller models, which enables the machine to be used as a light roll, furrow press or landpacker, by adding the cultivator frame and ballast weight," explains Knights John Holme.
The cultivator section uses a row of tines followed by a row of levelling paddles which break down ploughed land before the two rows of ring rolls complete the cutting and firming action.
Price of the 2.8m (9.1ft) Triple Press with cultivator tines is about £11,000.n
