Grand Max Agro Recommendations for Choosing a Full-Field Cultivator and Roller
Proper selection of a cultivator and working equipment is a key factor for high-quality soil preparation, stable cultivation depth, and efficient use of tractor traction.
Grand Max Agro manufactures reliable full-field cultivators: mounted models (2.6 m, 3.0 m, 3.5 m, 4.0 m) and trailed models (4.0 m, 5.0 m, 6.0 m), which can be equipped with various types of rollers for all soil conditions.
Below are recommendations from Grand Max Agro engineers to help you choose the optimal full-field cultivator and roller type for specific tasks, soils, and your tractor.
1. How to Choose a Cultivator by Working Width
Mounted Full-Field Cultivators (2.6–4.0 m)
Recommended for farms with fields up to 300–700 ha and tractors of medium power.
| Cultivator Width | Recommended Tractor Power | Application |
|---|---|---|
| 2.6 m | 60–80 hp | Private farms, small areas, interseason cultivation |
| 3.0 m | 80–100 hp | Universal model suitable for all crops |
| 3.5 m | 100–130 hp | Medium farms, high productivity |
| 4.0 m | 120–150 hp | Intensive loads, primary seedbed preparation |
Trailed Full-Field Cultivators (4.0–6.0 m)
A solution for medium and large farms with intensive workloads.
| Cultivator Width | Recommended Tractor Power | Application |
|---|---|---|
| 4.0 m trailed | 130–160 hp | Large areas, medium and heavy soils |
| 5.0 m | 160–200 hp | High-performance seedbed preparation |
| 6.0 m | 200–250 hp | Large farms, maximum field coverage |
2. How to Choose a Roller: Types and Applications
A roller is one of the key elements affecting seedbed quality, clod breaking, compaction level, and soil leveling. Below are technical guidelines for selecting a roller based on soil type and tasks.
ROLLER TYPES AND THEIR PURPOSE
1. Straight Tube Roller
Best for: light and medium soils, seedbed leveling
Purpose:
• leveling after cultivation
• moderate clod breaking
• reduced fuel consumption due to low friction

• simple and durable
• low load on the machine
• ideal for farms with light chernozem and sandy soils
2. Spiral Tube Roller
Best for: medium and dense soils
Purpose:
• improved clod breaking
• stable performance in high humidity
• self-cleaning due to spiral form
Recommended for: cultivators 3.0–6.0 m, tractors from 100 hp
Advantages:
• efficient crushing
• suitable for spring moisture retention
• reduces soil sticking
3. Straight Bar Roller
Best for: chernozem and structured soils
Purpose:
• forming a smooth and firm seedbed
• breaking large clods
• stabilizing cultivation depth
Used with cultivators: 3.5–6.0 m
Advantages:
• highly versatile
• ideal for grain and industrial crops
4. Spiral Bar Roller
Best for: heavy, wet, compacted soils
Purpose:
• active clod crushing
• maximum self-cleaning
• high-quality preparation for small-seed crops
For tractors: 140+ hp
Advantages:
