Dal-Bo Depth Control for cultivators and rollers

The Depth Control system uses an ultrasonic sensor on the implement connected to an LCD display in the cab. It portrays the aggressiveness and working depth of the tines, enabling the operator to check the cultivator’s sub-surface setting through different soil types and after the implement if lifted out and put back into work during each headland turn. Operators can then adjust the implements on the move to aim for a seedbed of consistent quality across the field.

Depth Control system easier and more effective

Apart from being more comfortable and better for the operator’s well-being than repeatedly twisting around in the seat to monitor the implement, says Dal-Bo, it is easier and more effective than trying to read a distant mechanical scale in dusty or low light conditions.

The system is a new option on the Dal-Bo RolloMaximum cultivator, which positions 4 rows of spring tines between 2 sets of serrated or smooth ring rollers, with soil levelling at the front of the implement performed by paddle tines or a full-width levelling board.

The Depth Control system works with the Crackerboard levelling tines and the spring tine section of the implement. It can also be used for the Crackerboard and the 16mm flexible tines option available for MaxiRoll 3-section folding rollers, and for the Crackerboard on Dal-Bo’s MiniMax, PowerRoll, CultiLift, CultiTrail and CultiMax implements.
