ERA Series Rotary Cultivator

🔄 3-in-1 Operation — Cultivate, Fertilize, Ridge

One machine, one pass, three operations complete. The ERA Series replaces a separate rotary tiller, a standalone fertilizer applicator, and a dedicated ridger — saving three separate tractor hookups, three fuel fills, and three passes across the field. Total soil compaction is reduced to one-third of the conventional approach.

⚡ PTO-Powered Rotary Tillage

Unlike passive tine cultivators that struggle in hard or compacted ground, the ERA’s 540 RPM PTO-driven rotary blades actively break up even the toughest soil. This ensures a fine, uniform tilth in the planting zone regardless of starting soil conditions — critical for consistent seed germination and root development.

🌱 Integrated Banded Fertilizer

The 125 kg-per-row hopper applies fertilizer directly into the freshly tilled furrow — placed precisely in the root zone before the ridge is formed over it. This banded placement delivers 20–40% higher nutrient efficiency than broadcasting, saving significant input costs and reducing environmental run-off.

💪 Spring-Loaded Furrower Protection

The spring-loaded furrower bodies automatically trip backward when they encounter stones, roots, or hard soil pockets — then spring back to the working position. This self-protection mechanism prevents damage, eliminates downtime from breakage, and maintains consistent ridge profiles without operator intervention.

📋 Three Models — 2, 3, or 5 Rows

Choose the ERA-2100 (2-row, 75 hp) for small farms and garden-scale operations, the ERA-3100 (3-row, 75 hp) for standard family farms and cooperatives, or the ERA-5100 (5-row, 100 hp) for commercial growers and contractors. All share the same blade, hopper, and furrower technology — scale up without learning a new machine.

💰 Replace 3 Machines With 1

Instead of purchasing, maintaining, storing, and transporting a separate rotary tiller, fertilizer applicator, and ridger, invest in one ERA cultivator that does all three. The savings on machine purchase, storage space, maintenance, and field-pass fuel costs make the ERA Series one of the most economical investments in row-crop farming.

🌏 Low Power Starting at 75 HP

The ERA-2100 and ERA-3100 require just 75 hp — making them accessible to the compact and mid-range tractor segment that dominates global farming. The 5-row ERA-5100 requires 100 hp — still modest for a 5-row combined implement. Compatible with popular models including John Deere 5E/6M, New Holland T4/T5, Case IH Farmall, Kubota M6/M7, Massey Ferguson 4700/5700, and Fendt 200/300 series.

🥔 Potato Production — One-Pass Bed Preparation

The primary application: cultivate the planting zone, apply NPK fertilizer into the furrow, and form the ridge — all before seed placement. The ERA Series produces a perfectly tilled, fertilized, ridged seedbed in a single pass. For potato growers, this eliminates 2–3 separate implement changes and field passes, saving hours of labor and fuel per hectare.

🌽 Vegetable & Root Crop — Cultivate-Fertilize-Ridge

Carrot, onion, sweet potato, yam, garlic, and other ridge-planted vegetables all benefit from the ERA’s combined approach. The PTO-driven rotary blades handle harder soils that passive ridgers struggle with, the integrated hopper eliminates a separate fertilizer pass, and the adjustable row spacing (60–100 cm) accommodates all major crop standards.

🍚 Tropical Root Crops — Hard Soil & High Efficiency

In tropical and subtropical regions, soils can be extremely hard and compacted between seasons. The ERA’s PTO-driven rotary blades power through these conditions where passive implements fail. Combined with the fertilizer hopper for nutrient application in naturally low-fertility tropical soils, the ERA delivers a complete planting bed in one pass — even on the most challenging ground.

🚚 Agricultural Contracting — Fewer Implements, More Profit

Contract operators benefit enormously from 3-in-1 efficiency. One implement on the trailer instead of three. One hookup per field instead of three. One-third the field passes. The ERA Series allows contractors to offer a complete cultivate-fertilize-ridge service with a single machine — reducing transport costs, setup time, and field-pass charges to the client.

🌎 Smallholder & Cooperative Farming

For cooperatives and smallholders with limited equipment budgets and storage, the ERA Series provides three essential functions in one affordable machine. The 2-row ERA-2100 (75 hp, 720 kg) is purpose-built for the smallest tractors and tightest budgets, while the 3- and 5-row models scale up for larger cooperative operations.

Q1: What does the ERA Series do that a standard ridger cannot?

A standard ridger only forms ridges — it does not till the soil or apply fertilizer. The ERA Series adds PTO-driven rotary cultivation (for a finer seedbed in harder soils) and integrated banded fertilizer application, eliminating two additional field passes and two extra machines.

Q2: What fertilizer types can the hoppers handle?

All dry, free-flowing granular materials: NPK compound, urea, granular lime, potash, gypsum, micronutrient blends, and dry organic pellets. The metering mechanism adjusts for different granule sizes.

Q3: Can I use the ERA without filling the fertilizer hoppers?

Yes. With hoppers empty and metering closed, the ERA functions as a combined rotary cultivator and ridger (2-in-1). You only fill the hoppers when simultaneous fertilizer application is needed.

Q4: What makes the spring-loaded furrower different from a rigid one?

A rigid furrower can break or bend when it strikes a stone or compacted soil pocket. The ERA’s spring-loaded furrowers automatically trip backward to absorb the impact, then spring back to the working position. This prevents damage and maintains consistent ridge quality without stopping — especially important in stony or variable soils.

Q5: Which model should I choose?

ERA-2100 (2-row, 75 hp): smallholdings, market gardens, and operations under 20 hectares. ERA-3100 (3-row, 75 hp): family farms, cooperatives, and 20–80 hectare operations — the best-selling model. ERA-5100 (5-row, 100 hp): commercial growers, contractors, and 80+ hectare operations where throughput is the priority.

Q6: Are the rotary blades replaceable?

Yes. All blades are individually bolt-on and replaceable without removing the rotor. Typical service life is 150–400 hours depending on soil abrasiveness. We supply replacement blade sets worldwide at competitive prices.

Q7: Can the ERA work in stony soils?

The ERA handles moderately stony soils well — the spring furrowers trip over obstructions and the rotary blades are hardened for abrasive conditions. For very stony fields, we recommend first processing with a stone crusher or rock rake to reduce large stones, then using the ERA for the combined cultivate-fertilize-ridge pass.

Q8: Is the row spacing adjustable?

Yes. All units mount on adjustable clamps along the toolbar, allowing spacing from 60 to 100 cm. Standard potato: 75 cm. Sweet potato/yam: 90–100 cm. Vegetables: 60–70 cm. Specify your spacing when ordering.

Q9: Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we export all ERA models worldwide. Production takes 15–20 days. We handle all export documentation and offer CIF or FOB pricing. Please contact our sales team for a detailed quotation.

Q10: What maintenance does the ERA Series require?

Regular maintenance includes: checking gearbox oil level every 50 hours; greasing bearings and PTO driveline every 8–10 hours; inspecting blade condition; flushing fertilizer hoppers and metering mechanisms with water after each use (fertilizer is corrosive); checking spring tension on furrower bodies; and tightening all bolts periodically.
