TIP Roller

HE-VA have one of the largest Rolls ranges on the market and the 3-Section Tip Roller makes up approximately 75% of all HE-VA rolls sold in the UK.

A unique combination of design features and heavy duty construction ensures true contour following and even weight distribution for level seedbeds, moisture retention, uniform germination, better yields and reduced risk of stone damage.

All rolls have the powerful built-in SAT (Special Active Transfer) system to spread the frame weight evenly across the machine width.

Sizes range from 4.5m to 10.2m, each size comes in 3 different variations, all fitted with NG rings, HD - 8 spoke 510mm (20"), HD Plus - 9 spoke 560mm (22") and XHD - 10 spoke  620mm (24"). New Generation rings (NG) come standard with a 5-year warranty.

A full range of Shattaboards, Slicerboards, Straw Tines and Top Cutter are available to fit all Tip Rollers, turning each set of rolls into a cost effective cultivator.

From shed to field the driver doesn’t need to leave the tractor cab as the rolls can be put to work in seconds simply and safely straight from the tractor seat. Just pull into the field, unfold using the tractor hydraulics and you are ready to go.

Folding is just as simple, each 3-Section machine folds up to 2.5m (2.7m for 9.5 and 10.2m machines) Each wing section locks into a transport cradle once in the fully folded position increasing road transport safety and giving peace of mind that they stay where they should at all times.

Shattaboards & Slicerboards

Shattaboards & Slicerboards cultivate, level and consolidate in front of the rolls transforming the rolls into an all round cultivation tool.

Hydraulic operation enables the levelling board to be retracted when necessary and controls the working angle. The locking device links the springboards   together harnessing their combined strength to improve levelling.

The Slicerboard knife edges slice into clods on heavy ground enhancing the tilth created by the board.

• Close coupled - strength and reliability
• Height and angle adjustment
• Adjustable wearing paddles - extend life
• Locking device - enhances

Top-Cutter

The Top-Cutter was designed to assist in cover crop destruction, it can be fitted as an option to HE-VA Tip Rollers. Mounted ahead of the main cultivation element, the roller is equipped with six double-sided blades which span its full working width.
With downforce generated by the Tip Roller, the blades provide a transverse chopping action.

The roller rings on the host machine work at 90 degrees to the knife roller ensuring crop residues are comprehensively dealt with. Blades are arranged in a chevron pattern to evenly load the roller and avoid vibrations being generated when the machine is running at speed

Straw Tines

Two rows of Straw Tines, sprung finger tines that can turn a set of HE-VA Tip rolls into a true multi-purpose machine, capable of helping growers reduce their reliance on chemicals in combating pest and weed problems.

Following initial cultivation passes, the heavy-duty Tip Rollers fitted with Straw Tines can be put to work pre-drilling with the tines providing shallow soil movement to generate a surface tilth. Rows of breaker rings then provide a firming action and a corrugated, weather-proof finish ready for the drill. The aggressive stirring action of tines disturbs and disrupts slug activity, destroying clutches of eggs before they hatch.

As well as creating consolidated stale seedbeds ahead of drilling, Tip Rollers equipped with Straw Tines can also be used following the combine to evenly spread and break up crop residues, prompting more rapid breakdown. At the same time the tines’ action can help to generate a fine surface tilth which, when consolidated by the heavy roller rings, produces ideal conditions to get weed seeds to germinate.

Mounted on a hydraulically activated toolbar directly ahead of the roller rings, the twin rows of 16mm diameter straw harrow tines can be lifted out of work for conventional post-drilling seedbed consolidation work.

Unique SAT System - Special Active Transfer

All rolls have the powerful built-in SAT system to spread the frame weight evenly across the machine width.

Cambridge Rolls without HE-VA automatic weight balancing tend to exert the highest ground pressure on the centre roller section. This roller section carries the weight of the drawbar, wheel frame and hydraulics as well as its own weight, far more than the two wing sections.

With a basic roller set up there is no weight transfer and the uneven weight distribution is great as can be seen above.

Even with a basic sprung weight transfer system the hinges at either end of the centre section prevent weight being spread evenly.

The HE-VA SAT system is spring loaded and as the outside roll sections are attached with centre pivot hinges, weight transferred evenly across the full width of the Cambridge Rolls.

The key to any set of Rolls successfully improving soil consolidation is weight, and getting the weight on to the soil. The Tip-Roller achieves this by featuring five Pivot Points, three centre pivots plus two more where the wings are joined to the main frame. Giving independent floatation on each section; this allows the roller to follow the contours in the most undulating of ground conditions and ensures constant ring to soil contact. 

The Tip Rollers folding mechanism has a deep wing link pivot with Teflon coated steel bushing top and bottom to provide strength for cultivation as well as rolling.

The rings are mounted on 60mm axles for strength and longevity. These axles run on 4 bolt bearings protected inside u-profile steel.

The Cambridge Rolls axle on the wing sections of the 8.2, 9.5 and 10.2m have a centre bearing as an additional support.

Simple, safe folding - what else do you expect from a HE-VA

	Tip the rolls forward until the cylinder bottoms.		Tip the rolls forward until the cylinder bottoms.		The HE-VA rolls are ready to work.

HE-VA's 3 section Cambridge Rolls design supports the side section horizontally in a positive locking cradle reducing noise when travelling.

In the completely folded position the weight of the wings is carried between the tractor and transport wheels improving stability.

HE-VA rolls are available with a choice of ring types. All carefully designed to cope with today’s higher machine weights but retain the time-proven qualities of traditional ring engineering, the range includes new multi-spoke developments created to meet customer demand and changing farming methods.

New generation rings come standard with a 5-year warranty.
