Maschio Gaspardo DRACULA - Manual (Page 4)

THE DRACULA’S CONCEPT
Cut and mix
The front double discs gangs size residue, dislodge roots and get the residues in contact with the soil for
a faster decomposition. The working depth of the discs can be adjusted hydraulically on the go.
As the soil and residue are mixed, oxygen enters the tilled zone and in cooler soils the action also
warms the seed zone for rapid emergence of the seed.
Loosening
The cultivator section of Dracula consists of three rows of shanks designed to break up
compacted layers, promote aeration, limit erosion and runoff, and improve water infiltration
which helps the soil to retain moisture. Shank inclination has been designed to allow for
better penetration even in the toughest soil while the high frame clearance guarantees
perfect residues and soil flow.
Levelling
The disc levellers on Dracula eliminate any ridges left by the rear row of shanks. The
levelling discs are dampened by a silent block system that guarantees a constant
working depth even on uneven surfaces.
