What Makes FARMET Krtek Unique
Higher yields due to a better soil microclimate
The Krtek deep cultivator is unique in that it loosens the compacted subsoil layer without mixing it with the upper fertile soil layer. This restores water absorption, improves air and moisture exchange in the soil, and allows plant roots to penetrate deeper more easily. A better soil microclimate creates more favorable conditions for plant development and can help achieve higher and more stable yields, especially in fields where compacted layers form or drainage is impaired.
Hydraulically protected plows with high operating force
Hydraulically protected tines with a safety trigger force of up to 1,700 kg. This allows for reliable operation even in heavy and stony soils, while maintaining a consistent working depth. Upon encountering an obstacle, the tine bends and returns to its working position, thereby reducing the risk of damage to working components, avoiding unnecessary downtime, and ensuring consistent deep tillage results.
The optimal shape of the plowshares protects the fertile soil layer
Properly shaped Krtek tines penetrate the soil easily and loosen the compacted subsoil layer without mixing it with the fertile topsoil. This prevents the biologically inactive subsoil from being brought to the surface, preserves soil structure, and creates better conditions for water, air, and plant roots to penetrate deeper.
3-year warranty
All Farmet equipment comes with a 3-year warranty. The company pays particular attention to the high quality and reliability of its machinery. This commitment reflects the company's long-standing philosophy based on precision machining, durability and long service life.
Working areas
- Deep loosening zone without mixing. Cultivation depth: 50–60 cm. The tines of the deep cultivator are arranged in a single row. The curved tines cut through the soil without actively mixing it or forming clods.
- Re-compaction zone. Optimal re-compaction of the soil ensures good water infiltration and capillary rise of moisture to the surface.
High quality and efficient work
- Optimal tines shape ensures reliable penetration into the soil without mixing it with the biologically inactive subsoil layer.
- Excellent stability and versatility maintain the working depth precisely using the depth adjustment knobs.
Deep cultivator designed for use under various soil conditions – This is ensured by an automatic hydraulic safety system. When using soil compaction reduction measures, this implement does not need to be used every year, because soil structure is gradually improved by the effects of water, cold, plant roots, and microorganisms. The cultivator allows you to loosen the subsoil layer without the risk of mixing the biologically inactive subsoil with the fertile topsoil. It is particularly suitable for use in situations where excessive soil compaction cannot be avoided, for example, after the sugar beet harvest, as well as to restore drainage in waterlogged areas.
Extremely durable materials High-strength, advanced materials are used in the machine’s key components to ensure a long service life. The frame features an exceptionally sturdy, reinforced design. Working elements The working components of this proven design can be equipped with an effective automatic hydraulic safety system or, alternatively, with maintenance-free rigid rods. Rear roller The Krtek deep cultivator can also be equipped with a rear roller, which helps maintain the working depth more accurately and break up clods. This option cannot be combined with depth control wheels.
Machine operation and subsequent maintenance due to the minimum number of control points are very simple. Lubrication Minimum number of lubrication points. Setting the working depth The working depth is adjusted by changing the position of the tractor's hitch arms. Adjusting the support wheels The support wheels can be easily adjusted using the adjustment screws (optional equipment). Determining the position of the roller The roller position can be easily adjusted using a pin (optional equipment).

Guilty CARBIDE chisel
Disc roller SDR Diameter – 580 mm The right type of rear roller has a significant impact on the final quality of soil cultivation. The roller compacts the soil, while simultaneously crumbling and leveling it. The type of roller is selected depending on the type of soil and the nature of the machine's use.
Hydraulic protection Working force: 1,700 kg. This allows it to operate in a variety of soil conditions. The tractor must be equipped with at least one hydraulic circuit and a connection for free oil return to the tank. Depth support wheels Designed to maintain a more precise working depth. Cannot be used in combination with a roller.
