The Rolmako U 608 subsoiler is designed for tractors with power ranging from 160 to 310 HP. It is available in working widths of 3 and 4 meters, featuring 6 and 8 working elements, respectively. The maximum working depth is 35 cm, with a recommended value approximately 10 cm below the targeted loosening layer. The minimum required power per tooth is 30 HP, although this may vary based on working depth and local soil conditions. The device comes in variants with screw and hydraulic overload protection. The Rolmako U 608 subsoiler effectively breaks up deeper soil layers, prevents compaction, and positively affects root growth. It is engineered to meet the demands of hard soil and modern tractors, with numerous reinforcements on the frame and a robust three-point suspension tower, ensuring durability and load resistance. Standard equipment includes a coupling for connecting an additional machine, suitable for tractors with high lifting capacity on the rear linkage. This combination allows multiple operations in a single pass, optimizing cultivation for the best results. In soil already loosened by the subsoiler, air and water access is improved, facilitating easier rooting of plants.
Attain optimal results with reduced power and fuel consumption
Optimization of subsoiling attributed to tine design
The Michel deflected tine subsoiler is recommended for compact soils requiring improved porosity while maintaining an intact surface structure. This subsoiler enhances soil circulation and oxygenation, promoting root growth and plant development. Unlike traditional straight tine subsoilers, the Michel tine subsoiler disrupts the soil with less resistance, preserving the soil surface. Additionally, it reduces water needs by approximately 10% when irrigating. For optimal results, use the Michel curved tine subsoiler on loose soil (neither extremely dry nor wet). The soil structure created by the subsoiler decreases the frequency of subsoiling, making it less of an annual task. Long-term benefits include the necessity of subsoiling only when soil compaction becomes evident or water pooling occurs due to the compaction of paths under tractor wheels. This device is ideal for no-plough cultivation technology. The frame of the U 608 subsoiler allows free passage for the PTO shaft and is compatible with both active harrows and passive cultivation machines. The U 608 subsoiler is an extremely versatile and economically advantageous machine, particularly when used in combination with active harrows.
Combination of tillage equipment facilitated by a special coupling
The Rolmako U 608 subsoiler with a coupler is optimized for use in combination with additional rear-mounted tools on a specialized suspension system. The machine's frame is uniquely designed to accommodate the PTO shaft, enabling direct operation with tractor-driven devices. When paired with the U 608 subsoiler, tools such as a passive disc harrow, an active harrow driven by a PTO shaft, a disc or compacting roller, and other soil cultivation devices can function effectively. The coupler can optionally feature hydraulic cylinders capable of lifting heavy cultivation machinery. By connecting two cultivation devices in a single pass, users can achieve dual operations simultaneously, thus saving time and costs. The subsoiler’s overload protection adapts to varying cultivation conditions by adjusting the force needed to deflect the tine upon encountering obstacles. The subsoiler is engineered for full, simultaneous subduction of multiple tines, preventing damage from large soil obstacles. The loosener allows for gentle tine return when bypassing obstacles. Machines with four or more tines are equipped with two hydro-accumulators to protect the subsoiler from damage.

Michel's deflected tine
Rolmako offers a range of subsoiling machines with various versions of working elements. MICHEL type tines equip subsoilers with the symbols U 608 (MICHEL small version), U 614, and U 619. The new series of subsoilers features optimized geometry of the working elements, enhancing soil substrate loosening without negative effects and positively impacting the soil structure. The subsoiler tine, with its curved structure, is specially designed for smooth, gradual soil penetration. Offering minimal resistance, it effectively loosens the soil, ensuring adequate access to water and air for crops. The curved tine shape allows better soil penetration and breaks deep hard coatings, improving moisture retention. The undercut soil is slightly lifted and then returned to its place, achieving better loosening compared to classic straight tines. The tine shape ensures uniform surface cutting over the entire working width. The double-sided chisel extends the working element's service life. Made of high-quality boron steel with a hardness of 50 HRC, the tines are designed for optimal soil loosening efficiency while maintaining low power requirements. The variety of combinations of Rolmako subsoilers with the MICHEL tine makes them the most comprehensive offering on the market.
Hydraulic overload protection
The U 608 subsoiler's simple and unique technical solutions ensure precise operation, user-friendly functionality, and high efficiency. In the version with hydraulic protection, each subsoiler tine is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder connected to an accumulator via cables. The accumulator maintains a specific force for the tine's release upon encountering an obstacle. When the subsoiler hits a stone, hydraulic oil flows to the accumulator, causing the cylinder to close and return to its working position after bypassing the obstacle. Hydraulic overload protection allows for adjustment of the tine's release force by simply increasing or decreasing the pressure. The large-capacity hydraulic accumulator absorbs all substantial impacts affecting the machine.
