Machines for the front three-point linkage of tractors provide an effective solution to the high costs of cultivation work by enabling additional tasks within a single tractor pass. Heavy rollers enhance the tractor's controllability, thereby supplanting the need for front ballast. The versatile Rolmako cultivator, designed for the front three-point linkage of tractors, is based on the reliable cultivation tools of the Rolmako U 497 universal cultivator model, which has proven effective across diverse soils worldwide. Its solid, balanced design ensures ease of transport and reliable fieldwork. The device features two rows of tines and a tillage roller as standard. Ample clearances between working sections prevent clogging, ensuring comprehensive undercutting of the root structure of catch crops or weeds over the entire working width and intensive mixing of residues with the soil. The machine is equipped with lighting and reflective plates for safe operation even after dusk. The available tillage rollers enable customization to meet specific needs and budget requirements.
Proven design ensuring satisfaction
A meticulously designed mechanism for the tractor's front linkage
The Rolmako front cultivator features a 3.0 m working width and is designed for both basic stubble cultivation and pre-sowing cultivation on dry, heavy soils. The working element consists of a 70x12 mm SW tine with individual spring shock absorption. These absorbers ensure smooth operation and protect the working element from stone impacts. Users can opt for a narrow pre-sowing coulter or a 200 mm wide goosefoot. Optional tine reinforcement is available for the most challenging field conditions. A tillage roller completes the cultivation, with various types available to suit specific cultivation purposes and field conditions. Depending on the type, the roller provides additional soil compaction, helps maintain working depth, breaks up clods, and evens the field surface. The front three-point linkage cultivator enables combining sowing and cultivation in one pass without increasing the lifting force demand of the rear linkage, resulting in significant time and cost savings.
Combination of cultivation equipment to enhance quality and streamline processes
To establish optimal sowing conditions and minimize the number of field passes before this procedure, it is economically justified to support the operation of rear-mounted machine sections by mounting a cultivator on the tractor's front three-point linkage. The Rolmako cultivator on the front three-point linkage is ideal for use in combination with additional rear-mounted tools, such as a cultivation and seeding unit, grain seeder, compactor, disc cultivator, or other stubble cultivators. This combination allows for the completion of two field operations in one pass, thereby saving time and money. The combination with the cultivation and seeding unit facilitates single-pass simplified sowing. Additionally, the unit on the front three-point linkage can effectively level ridges after potato digging.

Cultivator for front three-point linkage of the tractor instead of static ballast
Suspending the cultivator and tillage roller at the front of the tractor provides an excellent cultivation effect. Additionally, the machine acts as ballast, loading the front axle and improving controllability during operation. The soil, after passing through this setup, is initially leveled, crumbled, and pressed, which simplifies the task for the unit suspended at the back of the tractor. A field sown with this configuration is exceptionally even, ensuring uniform emergence.

Cultivation tools
Cultivator tines
The working element is a 70x12 mm SW spring tine, which performs various cultivation operations efficiently and effectively, consistently ensuring low operating costs. Additional reinforcement for the SW tine is available for challenging cultivation conditions. Spring shock absorbers ensure smooth operation and protect the working element against stone impacts. It is possible to use a narrow or goosefoot coulter. The machine equipped with Bellota SW tines 70 mm x 12 mm and a 300 x 52 x 7 mm coulter is typically used for pre-sowing cultivation. The purpose of the unit changes when installing a 200 mm wide goosefoot, transforming it into a cultivator with tools for stubble cultivation.
The primary properties
Destiny
The cultivator on the front three-point linkage is highly versatile, suitable for both soil preparation prior to sowing and post-harvest cultivation. Its spring tines with straight shares are fundamental tools that ensure excellent soil processing for sowing preparation. For optimal mixing of soil with organic residues during stubble cultivation, wider shares are highly effective.
Example uses of the cultivator on the front three-point linkage:
- Initial cultivation post-harvest
- Soil aeration in spring
- Loosening after ploughing/deep work and sowing preparation
- Integrating manure with the soil
- Cultivation of cover crops, etc.
Machines on the tractor front three-point linkage
On lighter soils, a single pass of the cultivation and seeding unit, even a passive one, suffices for soil preparation and simultaneous sowing. However, heavier soils typically require additional treatments, incurring extra costs and time. Similarly, post-harvest cultivation in high corn stubble necessitates optimization of commercially available tools under adverse field conditions using machines mounted on the tractor's front three-point linkage. For instance, soil preparation before sowing often requires multiple passes, but combining these into one pass using the front three-point linkage is achievable with an appropriate front-mounted machine. Although some may accept additional costs, time remains irreplaceable. This issue can be addressed with additional cultivation tools on the front three-point linkage, enabling optimal cultivation and sowing in one pass. Rolmako offers a variety of machines that optimize cultivation in a single pass, based on proven elements of rear-hitched machines. The front three-point linkage is beneficial year-round, often accommodating tillage rollers with levelers or cultivator sections, pre-sowing, or stubble cultivators. This approach reduces the number of passes during spring cultivation before sowing. Increasingly, devices adapted to the front three-point suspension system are emerging in the cultivation machinery market, thanks largely to Rolmako, which provides a comprehensive range of leading soil cultivation tools.
Advantages
Utilizing a cultivator on the tractor's front three-point linkage enhances surface water penetration, decreases soil sealing tendency, reduces weed prevalence during sowing, and lowers the need for mechanical weeding products. Soil cultivation with the Rolmako cultivator fosters plant root development, promoting optimal absorption of water and nutrients into the soil.
Advantages of the cultivator on the tractor's front three-point linkage:
- High versatility in cultivation
- High work rate
- Quality components
- Low power requirement.
Suspending the cultivator and tillage roller at the front of the tractor achieves an effective cultivation. The machine also serves as ballast, enhancing the tractor's front axle load and improving controllability. The soil, after processing with this unit, becomes leveled, crumbled, and pressed, facilitating the operation of the rear-mounted unit. A field sown with this configuration is exceptionally even, resulting in uniform crop emergence.
