New Cultivator from OPICO A ShattaPress (Front Pakker) in action fitted with Cambridge and Breaker Rings

Printed in The Scottish Farmer August 18, 2001

Aiming to speed up cultivations is the new front-mounted cultivator from OPICO, the ShattaPress (Front Pakker) which fits in well with single-pass seeding operations.

Designed to work straight onto ploughed land the range uses the OPICO Shattaboard working the ground in front of a choice of different types of press ring to consolidate the seedbed.

The Shattaboard system connects all the flat tines in the front of the machine for an even breakdown of the soil and a hydraulic ram allows adjustment to their angle of work and to lift them out of work if necessary, so that the ring presses can be worked on their own if conditions allow.

The choice of presses are Cambridge roller types, with breaker rings or larger 800mm or 900mm profiled rings. The former is best on lighter land and the latter is for tougher and more uneven terrain.

Another feature is a steering system which stops the ShattaPress (Front Pakker) from crabbibg from side to side when in work, allowing it to follow the direction of the tractor
