The combination of a cultivator with a mulch harrow ComboTill is utilized throughout the growing season. In spring, it loosens and dries the soil post-winter and facilitates pre-sowing cultivation. In summer, post-harvest, it is employed for shallow stubble pulling and the mechanical destruction of volunteer plants and weeds, serving as an alternative to herbicides. In autumn, it is used for soil dressing or pre-sowing cultivation. ComboTill aligns with ultra-shallow stubble cultivation, designed to quickly stimulate the emergence of numerous volunteer plants, thereby improving results at lower costs. Operating in accordance with plant biology reduces costs related to chemical agents and enhances field hygiene.
Ultra-shallow cultivation
Saving time and money through cultivation without a roller
ComboTill, compared to a traditional cultivator, doubles the rate of soil processing. Fuel consumption per hectare can be reduced by up to half. Traditional cultivators require heavy rollers to achieve expected results, consuming significant fuel and power to process large soil masses. Crushing and re-compacting the soil with rollers necessitates additional traction force, thus more fuel. Without surface clods, no rollers are needed to break them. ComboTill, with a 5-meter working width, requires similar traction force to a 3-meter traditional cultivator with a roller. ComboTill saves maneuvering time on headlands, reducing tractor use. Its even and finely crumbled soil processing lowers cultivation costs.
Highly efficient stubble processing and stimulation of germination of self-seeded cereals
In the initial pass, which involves uniformly processing the stubble to a depth of 3 to 5 cm, evaporation is interrupted. This process generates a finely lumpy soil structure and shallowly integrates the straw with the soil, establishing favorable cultivation conditions. The harrow distributes the straw very evenly, thereby displacing self-sown grain and weed seeds and gently mixing them into the soil. The microclimate under the straw cover retains soil moisture, creating ideal conditions for the germination and full development of undesirable crops, which are effectively eliminated in the subsequent pre-sowing treatment. ComboTill is a versatile device suitable for various year-round applications, such as seedbed preparation, stubble cultivation, natural fertilizer work, or mechanical weed control. Available working widths range from 3 to 6 meters.

Cultivation tines
Rolmako ComboTill is a mounted cultivator with low power requirements, featuring SW 70 x 12 mm tines arranged in four rows for varied cultivation depth. Flexible narrow coulters intensively loosen the soil. The chisels are elastically mounted on the frame and freely deflect upon encountering obstacles. SW is a spring tine with high vibration capacity, ideal for intensive mixing and crumbling of the soil. The standard straight coulter can be replaced with a 200 mm wide goosefoot. The narrow coulter effectively breaks up and mixes the soil, creating a fine surface structure, resulting in excellent work performance with relatively less fuel consumption. For complete cutting of weed roots in one pass, a goosefoot coulter can be equipped, making the machine effective with crop residues.
Rear mulching section
The mulch harrow is mounted in place of the consolidating roller. The working depth is maintained by the front and rear support wheels of the cultivator or solely by the rear ones, depending on the equipment version. The harrow is suspended on a parallelogram, and its pressure on the soil can be adjusted hydraulically from the tractor cab. The angle of the tines is adjusted mechanically or optionally hydraulically. After the cultivator has passed and the weeds have been cut over the entire working width, the harrow tines pull them to the soil surface, where they die under sunlight. This technique is suitable for all types of weeds, as the root system may tend to survive if crushed by a tillage roller instead of a finger harrow. The height and inclination of the harrow can be adjusted based on working conditions and expected effects. The harrow section can be used to stretch straw, eliminate weeds, level the ground, and crush clods and crusts.
Adjusting the working depth of the mulching section
Mechanical depth adjustment
- Adjustment is achieved by extending the adjustment link of the rear support wheels and securing its position by moving the adjustment clips.
Hydraulic depth adjustment
– Adjustment is achieved by sliding the hydraulic cylinder piston in or out and securing the set position with adjustment clips.
Setting the mulching section angle of attack
Mechanical adjustment
- The spring angle of attack is manually adjusted by tilting the handle and securing its position with a pin. The height of the mulching section is hydraulically adjusted by extending the hydraulic piston and locking the set position with an adjustment clip.
Hydraulic adjustment
- The angle of attack of the springs is adjusted hydraulically by extending the hydraulic piston and locking the set position with adjustment clips. The height of the mulching section is adjusted hydraulically by extending the hydraulic piston and locking the set position with an adjustment clip.

Ultra-shallow cultivation
The challenges posed to farmers by the changing climate and the new EU Common Agricultural Policy guidelines have led to the increasing popularity of ultra-shallow cultivation tools in Poland. Rolmako is adapting to these new conditions by offering a comprehensive range of soil cultivation machines. Every unwanted plant in the field represents a loss of valuable water, which is crucial during dry seasons. As crops increasingly suffer from drought, it is essential to prevent plantation overgrowth. Weeds and volunteers plants compete for water, light, space, and nutrients. Limiting their presence should be a priority from the moment of harvesting the previous crop. Failure to provoke early weed germination will result in serious issues for the next crop. When using ComboTill, rapeseed and weed seeds germinate quickly due to their shallow placement in the soil, typically at a depth of 2-5 cm. With an ultra-shallow cultivation depth, only about 25% of crop residues are covered, leaving uncovered residues to protect the soil surface. The germination of volunteer and weed seeds can be eradicated in subsequent mechanical treatments. This approach adheres to traditional, proven methods and results in reduced use of chemical plant protection agents while promoting integrated protection methods. Machines designed for ultra-shallow cultivation are gaining popularity among farmers, including those employing no-plough technology.
Support wheels
The machine lacks a tillage roller. The tractor lift or optional support wheels set the working depth of the cultivator tines. The mulching harrow has independent depth and angle of attack adjustments. Mechanically adjustable wheels are positioned behind the cultivator section in front of the mulching harrow fingers, with 2 pcs. in the rigid version and 4 pcs. in the hydraulically folded version. The front and rear support wheels, controlled by a pressure piston, are connected synchronously.
