CAPAMTAM5

The Yurdusar CAPAMTAM5 is the largest mounted inter-row cultivator in the documented series, with 5 working units (derived from 80 C-tines, at the standard 16 per unit), intended for hoeing rows of sugar beet, cotton, sunflower, corn, soybean, tomato, beans, tobacco, melon, watermelon, sesame and other row crops on the largest areas in the documented series. Drive is transmitted via the tractor's PTO shaft to the final drive, while each working unit operates through a system of sprockets and gears connected via a shaft. Working width is 40 to 45 cm per row, the same across the whole series, and working depth is 10 to 15 cm. Overall machine height is 330 cm, considerably greater than the CAPAMTAM3 and CAPAMTAM4 models (240 cm), in line with the largest number of working units in the series. As with the other models, the cultivator protects the soil from weeds by breaking up the surface layer, loosens the soil and allows aeration, helping the soil retain moisture and prepare for better plant rooting, saving 70 to 80% of labor compared with manual hoeing. Machine weight is 690 kg, the highest in the series, reflecting five working units and the most robust frame construction needed to carry the widest coverage per pass. Operation requires a tractor of 70 to 80 HP, the highest range in the documented series, in line with the greatest mass and number of working units. Optionally, a fertilizer spreader or furrow-opening device can be fitted to the machine, as with the rest of the series. The CAPAMTAM5 is intended for larger farms with more powerful tractors needing to cultivate five rows per pass for maximum hoeing efficiency across large areas.
