MULTIVA S-TINE HARROWS - TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SOIL The working principles of S-tine harrows A good S-tine harrow creates a smooth seed bottom and field surface with the fewest possible runs, making the conditions for sprouting most favorable. An S-tine harrow should also produce a good crumb structure and the right kind of distribution of soil particles. This is particularly important for heavier soil types that require finer soil near seed to ensure proper moisture for germination, along with rough soil on the surface of the field to avoid siltation. The operation and technological innovations...

Multiva S-tine - the most even cultivation results by research The Department of Agricultural Sciences of the University of Helsinki has studied factors contributing to the evenness of the seedbed produced by s-tines. The study examined the flexibility of s-tines under a workload as well as the evenness of the seedbed in practical tests. The study found that Multiva tines produced the most even working depth under a workload along with the most even seedbed. The evenness of cultivated soil that Multiva TerraFlex- and TerraSuper tines achieve is based on their unique tine geometry. Multiva s-tines...

Safe on the road Multiva TopLine 600-700 models have a narrow transport width of three meters. They are safe to transport, and fit even the narrowest roads. Brakes, lights and additional reflectors are also available as accessories. Efficient levelling Topline Cross harrows feature Multiva's multi-board technology, providing excellent levelling and crumbling capabilities. TopLine Cross models are equipped with two levelling boards that cover the width of the harrow. The hydraulically controlled boards can be adjusted mechanically and in relation to each other. TopLine Cross models can be equipped...

Strong and torsionally rigid frame The chassis of Multiva harrows have two or three strong transverse frame beams and 60 mm tine axles. The twin or triple beam structure and heavy tine axles, combined with Double Grade special steel, add considerably to the torsional rigidity of the frame and the life span of the harrow. In TopLine Cross and TopLine Super XL, the height of the frame beams is 120 mm. In practice, that means 54% stronger frame structure than when using 100 mm frame beams. The fields of Jussi and Satu Taruma's farm in Jokela, Tuusula, consists mainly of heavy and medium clay soils....

Front support wheels Front support wheels for side sections are available as accessories for TopLine Super XL and Topline Cross harrows. Front support wheels smoothen machine travel with larger working widths. This becomes especially important when using higher cultivation speeds. Big flotation tyres Multiva harrows have big flotation tyres and heſty wheel hubs. The largest tire size, 340 / 55-16, is standard on Topline Cross and Super XL models. TOPLINE SUPER XL - MULTI-PURPOSE METHOD The TopLine Super XL represents the latest generation of S-tine harrows, suitable for cultivating large areas....

Veikko Kuusinen The Metsola farm in Pertteli, Finland, mainly produces cereals, such as wheat, barley and grain but also rapeseed and hayseed. The Metsola farm features soil types ranging from silt to loam clay. In the spring, Kuusinen cultivates the stubble directly with the TopLine Super. Kuusinen utilises the Multiva DiscMaster disc cultivator as well as the TopLine Super XL harrow. He is pleased with his harrow. ”TopLine Super XL provides excellent flowing through of plant residue, and it is heavy enough for reaching the optimal harrowing depth. The harrowing result is even, and the harrow...

Open structure The eight tine axles of Avaran, evenly distributed over the whole frame, create the foundation for an open, plant residue penetrating structure. Long, 3.3 meter frame allows a generous distance between the tine axles. The optimum tine distribution for excellent penetration has been tried and tested. Through-cutting wing shares Through-cutting wing shares are available for both Multiva Avaran and TopLine Super XL harrows as accessories. With wing shares, Avaran produces a very smooth seedbed with up to 12 cm tine spacing. Wing share is a very effective tool for the prevention of...

AVARAN - VERSATILE PERFORMANCE Narrow transportation width With Multiva Avaran harrows, transportation on road is easy and safe. All Avaran models have the transportation width of 3 m. Impressive crumbling The vibration of Avaran’s TerraSuper-tines is extremely aggressive. TerraSuper-tine’s ability to crumble the ground is in a class of its own. Strong vibration also improves the penetration of plant residue. Together with powerful rear accessories, Multiva Avaran's crumbling performance is high also in dry conditions. When using a denser tine spacing, Avaran cultivates the soil very efficiently...

Harrow that grows Optima is in a league of its own when it comes to adaptability. On some models, even the working width can be increased whenever necessary. Optima T600 can be extended into T700, and T800 can be extended into T900. The extensions are easy to mount with bolts. Eorking depth that’s easy to adjust The working depth is easy to use, accurate and adjustable at 5 mm increments. OPTIMA T - BEST IN CLASS Optima T is a powerful harrow for varying soils. Its spacious frame structure, flotation tyres and sturdy TerraFlex tines make Optima an excellent harrow for varying conditions. Optima...

Farm Manager Zsolt Podgornik works at 1500-hectare farm at Nagyhegyes in the Hajdusag region, one of the largest agricultural areas of eastern Hungary. The farm utilises modern technology. All of the plants are seeded in the spring, which requires the use of high-capacity cultivators. When it was time to purchase a new harrow, the farm began looking for machines with the working width of at least 10-12 metres. ”The large working width was a key requirement, but Multiva stood out with its premium quality,’’ says Zsolt Podgornik. The farm procured the Optima T 1250, which was commissioned in the...
