Technology and versatility to prepare the seedbed and optimize your secondary tillage
What is an agricultural cultivator and what is it for?
A cultivator is an agricultural implement designed to carry out secondary, surface tillage of the ground. It is used to prepare the seedbed, break up the surface layer of the soil, remove weeds and keep the stubble on the surface. Unlike the subsoiler, it works at a shallower depth and is recommended for use on dry soils.
What is the difference between a chisel cultivator, a vibrating cultivator and a stubble cultivator?
The vibrating cultivator (Neper model) is designed to prepare the seedbed at a depth of 8 to 20 cm, quickly breaking up the surface layer. The chisel cultivator (Nikkal, Dagon and Osiris models) performs tillage between 15 and 40 cm deep, and is the classic, time-honored cultivator. The stubble cultivator (Balam and Balam Pro models) is intended for hard, difficult, stubble-covered ground, offering generous clearance between tines.
When should a cultivator be used instead of a subsoiler?
The cultivator is used for secondary tillage after a first pass with the subsoiler. While the subsoiler loosens the deep subsoil, the cultivator works the surface layer to prepare for sowing, control weeds and incorporate plant residue.
At what depth does a JYMPA cultivator work?
The depth depends on the model: the Neper vibrating cultivator works between 8 and 20 cm, while the chisel cultivators (Nikkal, Dagon, Osiris) reach between 15 and 40 cm. The Balam and Balam Pro stubble cultivators are designed for deeper secondary tillage on demanding ground.
Which cultivator is best for organic or ecological farming?
The Balam and Balam Pro stubble cultivators are ideal for organic farming, thanks to their robustness, generous clearance between tines and ability to work stubble-covered ground without the need for herbicides.
What type of ground is the Neper vibrating cultivator suited for?
The Neper vibrating cultivator is ideal for demanding soils where a fine, uniform seedbed needs to be prepared. Its vibrating tines break up the soil quickly and efficiently, optimizing germination.
What advantages does the stubble cultivator offer over a conventional chisel cultivator?
The stubble cultivator offers greater clearance between tines, allowing work on ground with abundant crop residue without clogging. It is designed for hard, demanding ground and withstands more intensive tillage than a standard chisel cultivator.
Are JYMPA cultivators compatible with any tractor?
Yes, JYMPA cultivators are available in different working widths and configurations, allowing them to be adapted to the power of each tractor. Our team advises on choosing the model according to the available power and the characteristics of the ground.
What accessories can JYMPA cultivators incorporate?
JYMPA cultivators accept a wide variety of accessories: rear rollers to refine and firm the soil, different types of points depending on the ground, levelling harrows and specific kits for different working widths. This versatility allows them to be adapted to any secondary tillage task.
What maintenance does a JYMPA cultivator require?
JYMPA cultivators are designed for minimal maintenance. The points and wear parts are easy-to-fit, low-cost replacements, and their sturdy frame ensures a long service life even in demanding conditions.
Are JYMPA cultivators reliable?
Yes. JYMPA cultivators are built with high-strength materials and optimized geometry, designed to last and withstand constant use on demanding ground. JYMPA has decades of experience as a specialist in agricultural machinery.
