Tractor-mounted stone buriers

In agriculture, one of the most common problems is the presence of stones or clods that make it more difficult to work the soil. This is why a stone burier is used, a machine used to prepare the soil for sowing.

Stone buriers are machines that work the soil by burying any stones and residues, even on land that has not been worked previously. They offer the best results on the most compact and tough soils, ensuring excellent permeability and bringing the soil to the surface with a refined grain size.

Stone buriers are commonly used in agriculture and are suitable for both professional and advanced hobbyist use.

• Tractor-mounted subsoiler: This type is mounted on a tractor and uses the motor power of the tractor to move the hoes and work the soil. Suitable for soils of various sizes, it is essential to choose the right model based on the power of the tractor.

Stone buriers are essential tools for preparing the soil in agriculture, particularly useful in contexts where the soil is rich in stones, rocks and other debris that could hinder the uniform growth of crops. These machines have the function of breaking up the soil, burying stones and levelling the surface, thus creating an optimal seedbed.

• Soil preparation: Before sowing, stone buriers break up the soil and bury stones and rocks, creating a smooth, obstacle-free surface.
• Improvement of soil structure: The action of the hoes improves the structure of the soil, promoting the circulation of air and water, which are crucial for healthy plant growth.
• Reduction in the number of passes: Thanks to their efficiency, these machines reduce the number of passes required to prepare the soil, saving time and resources.

These machines are suitable for both professional use on large agricultural surfaces and for hobbyists or semi-professionals who need to work on smaller plots of land. In industrial environments, subsoilers are used on a large scale to prepare land for intensive cultivation.

Tractor-mounted stone buriers are built to withstand extreme working conditions thanks to their sturdy design and the high-quality materials used in their construction. Each component is designed to ensure maximum efficiency when working the soil, even in the presence of stones and debris. The main parts of these machines are:

• The frame: The supporting structure of the machine, which is extremely resistant as it comes into contact with debris and stones during operation, is made of a double layer for greater strength. At the front, which is subject to the strongest impacts, the frame is triple-layered.
• The rotor: The rotor is the part that actually works the soil.
  It rotates in the opposite direction to the forward movement of the tractor, lifting the soil and carrying it backwards.
• The grid: A kind of rake that sorts the soil, allowing the finer particles to pass through the grid, while the coarser soil, stones and any debris are blocked and fall downwards.
• Compact design, allowing the machine to be used even in confined spaces.

The combined action of the rotor and grid allows the soil to be stratified, pushing larger materials deeper and leaving lighter soil on the surface.

Tractor-mounted stone buriers operate thanks to a complex mechanical system that combines the power of the tractor with the efficiency of the working tools mounted on the machine. These machines are designed to work difficult soils with a process that involves several stages, all integrated into a single operation.

• Rotor drive: Once connected to the tractor-mounted device via the three-point hitch, the stone cutter is driven by the tractor's power take-off. The rotor, which is the main working element, begins to rotate in the opposite direction to the tractor's forward movement. This opposite rotation allows the hoes mounted on the rotor to lift the soil, break it up and push it towards the rear of the machine.
• Soil selection and filtering: After the soil is lifted and crushed by the rotor, it passes through the grid. This component acts as a filter, separating the finer soil from the coarser soil and stones. The fine soil passes through the grid and is deposited back onto the surface, while the stones and coarser debris are blocked and dropped downwards, where they can be buried or removed.
• Soil levelling: As the fine soil is redistributed, the machine's rear roller levels the surface, ensuring that the soil is even and ready for sowing. This process eliminates the need for additional passes with other agricultural implements, thus optimising the time and resources used.
• Depth adjustment: Stoner machines also allow you to adjust the working depth to suit the specific needs of the soil. This is particularly useful when working on soils with different characteristics or when you want to prepare the soil for specific crops.

Subsoilers and rotary hoes are both agricultural machines used for tilling the soil, but they have significant differences in the way they operate and the effect they have on the soil.

The main difference between rotary hoes and cultivators is that in the latter, the central rotor turns in the same direction as the soil is moved forward and is equipped with round hoes. These break up and compact the soil downwards, unlike the action of rotary hoes. In fact, as the soil is more compact at depth, it becomes a barrier for plant roots, preventing the crop from growing properly.

In stone burying machines, the central rotor rotates in the opposite direction to the tractor's forward movement. This movement allows the hoes to lift the soil, break it up and push it towards the rear of the machine. The soil is then sifted through a grid, which filters the finer material and redistributes it on the surface, while the coarser stones and debris are separated and buried. This process leaves the soil well aerated and evenly distributed, ready for sowing.

So, while stone cutters are designed to create an aerated, obstacle-free seedbed suitable for root growth, rotary hoes, with their compacting effect, can make the soil less suitable for optimal plant development.

Tractor-mounted stone cutters offer a number of significant advantages over other soil cultivation tools such as traditional hoes and rotary tillers.

The main advantage is that using a stone burier allows you to perform multiple functions in a single pass: you can till the soil, bury stones and reduce the volume of clods in a single process, allowing you to optimise the time required for the various tasks. In addition, stone burying machines ensure that larger materials are buried, guaranteeing a higher quality finish to the soil for a soft and well-worked top layer.

These advantages stem from their ability to effectively handle difficult soils enriched with stones and debris and their versatility in adapting to different working conditions.

• Thorough and uniform soil cultivation: Thanks to the rotor that rotates in the opposite direction to the tractor-mounted forward movement, the cultivators are able to lift and break up the soil effectively, creating a well-aerated surface ready for sowing. This process ensures that the soil is evenly cultivated, reducing compaction and promoting better root penetration.
• Efficient separation of stones and debris: Unlike rotary hoes, which tend to compact the soil, stone buriers are equipped with a grid that filters fine soil from coarser debris. This allows stones to be buried or removed more effectively, ensuring a seedbed that is free of obstacles and more suitable for crop growth.
• Fewer passes: Tractor-mounted stone cutters combine several operations in a single pass: soil crushing, debris separation and surface levelling. This not only reduces the time needed to prepare the soil, but also decreases machine wear and fuel consumption.
• Adaptability to different soil conditions: These machines can be used on a wide range of soils, from the lightest to the hardest and most stony. The ability to adjust the working depth and the compact design make them ideal for confined spaces and soils with varying characteristics.

Tractor-mounted tillers are designed to ensure optimal performance thanks to a combination of advanced technical features. Among these, the cutting system, tractor power and working width are key elements that determine the efficiency and effectiveness of the machine.

The cutting system of stone buriers consists of resistant hoes mounted on a rotating central shaft. Each support of the machine is equipped with up to 4 hoes distributed evenly along the shaft.

The cutting system of these machines consists of extremely durable hoes, with blades mounted on a rotating central shaft.

The hoes are distributed at regular intervals along the shaft and can also be adjusted in height to best suit the different terrains to be worked. The hoes can be adjusted in height to adapt to different soil characteristics, allowing the working depth to be customised according to specific requirements.

During operation, the hoes penetrate the soil, breaking up larger clumps of earth and levelling the surface, while at the same time removing any roots, allowing the soil to be aerated and improving its structure.

Another fundamental aspect to consider is the tractor power required to operate the subsoilers. The choice of tiller model must be made according to the available tractor power, expressed in Hp. Tractor-mounted stone buriers are designed to be compatible with tractors with power ratings generally ranging from 10 to 45 HP. It is essential to choose a burer that is proportionate to the power of the tractor to avoid damage to the machine and ensure optimal operation.

Working width is another crucial technical feature that determines the stone cutter's ability to cover more ground in a single pass. The working width of stone cutters typically ranges from 95 to 155 cm, allowing you to select the most suitable model based on the size of the field and the type of cultivation planned. A greater width allows more ground to be covered in less time, increasing operational efficiency, while smaller widths may be preferable for working in confined spaces or for more precise treatments.
