Tines
tine furnished with the "tube" rotor.
This tine is used for maximum pulverization due to the
close tolerance between tines and extreme right angle
of the tine. All material in the required depth is
completely picked up, mixed and consistently spilled
over to assure maximum pulverization and blending.
Also used where positive depth control is essential in a
single pass, a level cut plane at the depth desired will
result.
Where aggregates of 2" or less are encountered,
maximum mixing and blending will result.
The "103 1/2" bevel tine is used for maximum aeration
since aeration is facilitated by particle size or air
contact, it is essential that all material be broken down
into the smallest possible particles and then dispersed to
get maximum air contact.
Rotors
up of a 10" diameter tube to which are welded 14 tine
plates, including one right hand and one left hand end

tine plate. Each plate has provision to mount 6 tines,
three right hand and three left hand.
The standard "103'2" tine mounts to overlap the tine
plate.
