SYNKROSoil is life

Saving time and costs is the top priority when cultivating land today. SYNKRO two- or three-

gang cultivators, available with a wide range of rear rollers, create the ideal germination

conditions. The two SYNKRO series are designed so that they can be used for both shallow and

deep soil cultivation (up to 300 mm / 11.8").

The objective of the three-gang cultivator is to produce an especially fine structure in order to

promote the desired results during mulch drilling. The shares cut through the whole soil surface,

producing a very good mixing effect. The fine crumbling action reduces cavities, effectively

combating the reproduction of slugs as a result. The fine soil at seed placement depth ensures

optimum germination conditions.

SYNKRO 1000 / 1000 S

Following the harvest, residues need to be worked in evenly so decomposition gets a head

start. This mixture of straw and earth creates optimum conditions for soil life. Pöttinger SYNKRO

cultivators have been developed to meet today's stubble cultivation needs – compact machines

for shallow and intensive mixing seedbed preparation.

These llow draft, compact two-gang cultivators are designed for lighter weight tractors with

lower lifting power.

Headstock geometry must match the tractor's hitch if optimum penetration performance is to

be achieved.

The solid Cat. 2 or Cat. 3 cross shaft gives two coupling heights, depending on the tractor's

tyres.

The top link can be mounted in 4 different positions. The angle of the headstock is also

adjustable to achieve sufficient lifting clearance. As a result the implement can be adapted to

different sizes of tractor.

Hitches up to any tractor

Robust design

The 1000 series is equipped with a base frame for two rows of tines and mounting brackets for

a wide range of rear rollers. The frame is designed to withstand the stress of continuous heavy

duty operation.

The angle of the SYNKRO

headstock is adjustable. This

enables an ideal match to any

tractor. This optimized hitch-

ing geometry improves ground

clearance on headland turns

and during transport.

3.15 x 3.15" / 80 x 80 mm frame section on standard version, 3.94 x 3.94" / 100 x 100 mm on

S version.

16.93" / 430 mm tine spacing, 29.53" / 750 mm gang spacing and 29.53" / 750 mm or 32.28"

/ 820 mm frame height (S version) ensure trouble-free operation.

Concave discs level the surface behind the tines.

Thanks to a tine spacing of 16.93" / 430 mm, the 1000 series has a low power requirement

and the two-gang design brings the centre of gravity close to the tractor, meaning less lifting

power is required.

The SYNKRO 4700 SH is equipped with a hydraulic folding system.

6

The tine spacing of 16.93" / 430 mm requires a special share shape to ensure full penetration.

Pöttinger uses a split duck foot share in combination with a chisel point.

These reversible chisel points can also be repositioned to make best use of material wear.

Shares and chisels feature 0.39" / 10 mm thick material for a long service life.

Edge shares turned inwards preventing the formation of side ridges.

The 1030 series cultivators feature a light and compact construction. The centre of gravity is

very close to the tractor. Higher under frame clearance provides plenty of space. SYNKRO 1030

nova machines are equipped with overload protection. What is new is the central adjustment

system at the front for setting the working depth: easily accessible for safer and more convenient

adjustment is guaranteed. In addition, the weight of the rear roller can be transferred to the tines

to ensure penetration even in dry and hard ground conditions.

SYNKRO 1030

The three-gang SYNKRO

1030 cultivators are ideal for

shallow and deep stubble

cultivation with tractors from

100 hp upwards. They offer

technical solutions for even

more efficient operation and

convenient adjustment.

Non-stop cultivation on stony or very hard ground.

The triggering force of 1102 lbs / 500 kg diminishes as the

leg is raised – stones are not pulled up or loosened. This

protects both the cultivator and the tractor.

On the SYNKRO nova the first row of tines is located as far

forward as possible to bring the weight as close as possible

to the tractor.

The concave discs on the SYNKRO nova are also equipped

with maintenance-free overload protection.

Tines give the soil air to breathe

The mounting legs on the 1030 series have been engineered

into an arc for a perfect working angle.

The mountings reach right down the leg to provide a high

level of stability.

The tines are mounted on shear bolts (except nova version).

There are two settings for matching penetration peformance

to the operating conditions, even on dry and hard ground.

SYNKROs feature proven

share geometry for uniform

working in and intensive

mixing of harvest residues,

liquid manure, muck and

mulch.

SYNKRO cultivators are

well-known for cutting right

through the whole area,

perfect mixing in and excellent

crumbling, which is why they

have been so successful.

Mounting legs

Tine angle adjustment 

As standard equipment the SYNKRO 1030 generation is fitted with a chisel point/duck foot

combination. The narrow tine spacing of 10.63" / 270 mm ensures optimum mixing-in of

harvest residues – an ideal prerequisite for mulch drilling.

The duck foot wing shares can be mounted in two positions using one bolt. For deeper work

the duck-feet wings can be removed by undoing just one bolt on each leg.

The lightly curved guide plates mix the flow of earth from the side - an intensive rolling

movement without flinging soil up into the frame. The outer tines are fitted with edge guide

plates.

Hardened steel points and armoured duck foot wing shares are available to extend service life

even further.

For especially shallow work Pöttinger offers straight tines with a quick-change system or

double-diamond points with duck foot wing shares.

For deep loosening work down to 11.81" / 300 mm a narrow share with quick-change system,

chisel points or double-diamond shares can be implemented on their own.

Setting up for different soil

conditions is quick and

straightforward.

The rear rollers assume the role of depth control for the cultivator and the concave discs.

Working depth can quickly be adjusted using a matrix system at the front without risk to

the operator.

SYNKRO 1030The highest level of convenience

The new depth adjustment for the rear roller enables the working depth to be adjusted quickly

and easily using a straightforward pin-in-hole system.

Thanks to the tapered frame the adjustment system is easily accessible.

You only need to adjust one point on the left and right at the front – even on wide, folding

cultivators.

The position of the rear roller is locked to provide an

additional transfer of weight from the rear roller to the

stubble cultivator.

11

Ingenious technology

The solid longitudinal beams taper together at the headstock. The result is a perfect power

transfer across the whole working width.

The tractor's pulling power is transferred from the lower linkages to the mountings for the rear

roller.

Perfect power transfer

The concave discs for levelling are scalloped. They are guided by the rear roller and adjusted

together in parallel; they can also be depth-adjusted in pairs.

A six-lip labyrinth seal provides completely dust tight protection for the ball bearings.

The bearing is therefore maintenance-free; no complicated work required.

Edging discs are available as an option to prevent ridges forming. These can be folded

inwards to reduce height for transport and parking.

Maintenance-free concave discs

SYNKRO 3030The compact mounted stubble cultivator

3.94x 3.94" / 100 x 100 mm frame section made from fine-grained steel give the greatest

stability.

With longitudinal beams configured in a taper, the tractor's pulling power is transferred from

the lower linkages directly to the mountings for the rear roller.

Thanks to the tapered frame the depth adjustment system is easily accessible on both sides

without danger to the operator.

13

Tractors with up to 190 hp have a huge range of hitch geometries. The range of adjustment

on the headstock ensures excellent ground penetration and sufficient transport height.

The SYNKRO 3030 headstock

features multiple adjustment.

As a result you get a precise

match to any tractor hitch.

The concave discs for levelling are guided by the rear roller and adjusted together in parallel;

they can also be depth-adjusted in pairs.

The optional edging discs can be folded inwards for a transport height of 9.84' / 3 m.

The compact frame is a trademark of the SYNKRO 3030. The first row of tines is very close to

the tractor for a very favourable centre of gravity.

Two lower linkage heights with Cat 2 / width 2 clevis-type mounting lugs.

The headstock angle can be adjusted and with three top linkage positions you have optimum

adaptation to any tractor.

The gang spacing of 29.53" / 750 mm and frame height of 33.46" / 850 mm guarantee

maximum clearance for harvest trash, even during deep cultivation.

14

Folding mounted cultivators

Hydraulic folding enables convenient and trouble-free road transport at a width of 9.84' / 3 m.

The cultivators are folded in two halves to achieve a low transport height.

The interlock engages automatically using a mechanical limit stop catch activated by a

hydraulic cylinder and lock pin.

The mounted and folding

stubble cultivators with

working widths between

13.12' / 4.0 m and 19.69'

/ 6.0 m can be raised for

road transport to that they

are within 9.84' / 3.0 m and

still have a low transport

height. The folding system

is equipped with automatic

mechanical transport

interlocks.

SYNKRO 4030 K / 5030 K

15

During operation the transport chassis is raised. This exerts extra load on the tines and

prevents wheel tracks in the field. Reliable penetration is therefore guaranteed on heavy, dry

and hard ground.

On both the folding mounted cultivators and the trailed versions the sturdy longitudinal beams

are tapered towards the headstock.

The result is a perfect power transfer across the whole working width.

The depth adjustment of the rear roller and concave discs can be performed quickly and

easily using a pin-in-hole system on either side of the implement.

Accessing the adjustment system with the cultivator folded down is safe and easy.

For especially smooth and uniform guidance, two large 10/75-15.3 front mounted support

wheels can be fitted as an option. Depth adjustment using ratchet top linkage.

Trailed stubble cultivators

cultivators are designed

specifically for high output

stubble cultivation and general

seedbed preparation.

SYNKRO 4030 T / 5030 T / 6030 T

16

The cultivators are folded in two halves. The chassis is wide and is lowered during road

transport to provide a "low-slung" centre of gravity for excellent driving stability. The

automatic limit stop interlocks also contribute to safety on the road.

SYNKRO 4030 T / 5030 T / 6030 T

The transport chassis ensures

that the hitch and rear axle of

the tractor are not overloaded.

Trailed stubble cultivators

17

The chassis is mounted at the rear end of the frame with support struts extending to the

headstock. Perfect adjustment for the rear roller and plenty of lifting height are ensured.

500/45-17 tyres are standard, while for softer ground larger 550/45-22.5 tyres are also

available.

An air brake or hydraulic brake system is also available to provide enhanced safety at driving

speeds up to the legal limit.

The parking brake ensures that the regulations in all markets are met.

The drawbar is connected to the lower linkage and top linkage lugs. The angle adjustment of

the top linkage strut enables an ideal match to any tractor while providing optimum ground

clearance at headlands and during transport.

The lower linkages connect to the yoke with Cat. 3, width 2 or width 3 clevis-type mountings

(Cat. 4 optional).

A telescopic drawbar is also available with the full range of coupling options. This enables a

steering angle of up to 95°, up to a tractor outside width of 13.78' / 4.20 m.

The practical hose holder and parking stands are standard equipment.

Not all soil is the same.

Pöttinger provides a wide

range of follow-on devices

that give perfect operating

results, with the desired

crumbling structure, in any

type of soil. The whole range

of rollers features precision

manufacturing and robust

design engineering.

Rotopack rollers mix particularly intensively – for light

to heavy, non-sticky soils. Harvest trash remains on

the surface and protects the soil from drying out.

The ideal roller for working on dry, non-sticking

soil. The roller is equipped with eight strong bars to

provide the best packing effect.

Diameter 21.26" / 540 mm, 11 bars;

Diameter 25.98" / 660 mm, 12 bars.

Cage roller

The dual bar cage rollers have different diameters.

The pendular function ensures optimal crumbling and

adjustment to the contours of the ground.

Dual bar cage rollers

Pack ring roller

This 600 mm diameter roller is equipped with

wedge-shaped rings for increased crumbling and

compression. The knives between the rings break

up clods and clean the spaces between the rollers.

Compression in strips has the advantage that water

can be absorbed better. The right choice on dry and

heavy soil.

Knife ring roller

The packer rings are closed on either side and have

a diameter of 21.65" / 550 mm with 8 rings per metre

of working width (4.92" / 125 mm spacing). The roller

leaves behind compression in strips, promoting water

absorption and soil aspiration. The ideal roller on

stony, damp ground with large quantities of organic

matter.

Rubber packer roller

This roller is ideal for widely varied ground conditions.

Especially for use with trailed implements where the

load-bearing capacity of other rollers is near the limit.

The diameter of 23.23" / 590  mm and the special

profile enables stripe-wise compaction.
