Features

Floating Hitch Frame

A green tractor pulling a tillage implement with multiple curved tines, shown in a side-view illustration against a blue sky

The 2230FH Field Cultivator's floating hitch frame provides exceptional ground-following capabilities. The frame is designed to operate independently of the tractor, maintaining a level position across the terrain and ensuring consistent depth from front to back.

Consistent Coverage with Split Spacing

The field cultivator provides consistent seedbed preparation with true 152-mm (6-in.) split-the-middle spacing. This offers comprehensive coverage of fields, ensuring effective soil preparation and seedbed integrity.

Broad Range of Working Widths

The 2230FH and 2230LL offer a wide range of working widths to meet varying productivity and agronomic needs. The 2230FH spans from 7.8 to 21.2 m (25.5 to 69.5 ft) and covers up to 34 hectares (84 acres) per hour, while the 2230LL ranges from 7.8 to 18.4 m (25.5 to 50.5 ft) and covers up to 24.7 hectares (61 acres) per hour. Together, these options allow producers to effectively match implement size with their operational requirements.
