Karat 10’s innovative technologies
The LEMKEN Karat 10 incorporates proven technologies that assure uniform and precise soil work, without clogging, regardless of the conditions. Its quick share changing system allows the tool to be adjusted in a few moments, without tools, to switch from shallow stubbling to deeper work. The symmetrical arrangement of the teeth around the traction axis limits the effort and facilitates the use of GPS guidance systems.
Several equipments allow to customize the Karat 10 according to the user’s needs and the nature of the soils:
- 520 mm front discs with hydraulic adjustment to chop and open the soil
- Interchangeable shares (standard, carbide, scalper, narrow) depending on the depth and type of work
- Leveling teeth or star-shaped discs for precise leveling, even in challenging conditions
- Mechanically or hydraulically retractable edge discs
- Hydraulic weight transfer system to limit slippage and save fuel
- ContourTrack option to maintain consistent depth on hilly terrain
