Germinator
The germinator is a complex seedbed cultivator designed for high-quality and cost-effective soil preparation before sowing.
It performs the complete operation of surface soil preparation for sowing in a single pass. With just one pass, it creates an excellent seedbed (with uniform, precise, and adjusted depth) and a finely crushed top layer for seed placement.
At the end of the operation, the germinator uses a roller that gently presses the prepared soil to ensure uniform sowing depth and reduce moisture loss through evaporation.
By preparing the soil well and creating favorable conditions, yields can be significantly increased for crops such as corn, wheat, barley, soybeans, sugar beet, onions, etc.
HUDJIK GERMINATORS are built with a robust design that ensures high work efficiency. They are made of high-quality materials, guaranteeing long service life with minimal maintenance costs.
The GERMINATOR consists of a heavy-duty main beam, a frame structure, working units (S-springs), a crumbling rotor, a roller, and optionally a leveling board is offered.
Larger models have two or more wings that can be folded hydraulically – easily, without additional tools, from the tractor cabin.
The frame structures are not rigidly attached to the machine’s main beam but move freely around a horizontal shaft, allowing them to follow uneven terrain.
The working depth is easy to adjust: by setting the height of the frame structure, a depth of 2 to 12 cm can be achieved.
Ring rollers have proven to perform excellently, with minimal clogging. The soil preparation quality is such that even traditional coulter seeders can be used afterward.
The germinator can be equipped with a leveling board that has two angle adjustment positions. Positioned behind the working units, it is spring-loaded to maintain optimal height.
Differences between the classic COMBINATOR and GERMINATOR
The GERMINATOR provides a more finely crushed top layer,
The GERMINATOR ensures more precise and even working depth,
The GERMINATOR creates a flatter seedbed at a consistent depth while extracting less moisture from deeper layers,
The GERMINATOR finishes the operation with a roller that presses out excess air and seals the surface, significantly reducing moisture evaporation.
The weight of the GERMINATOR is calculated to create an ideally compacted layer for seed placement, working equally well with both disc seeders and traditional coulter seeders.
Summary: The GERMINATOR is a modern machine that performs precise and high-quality soil preparation in a single pass, enabling superior sowing quality. During operation, the soil dries out less, and post-processing evaporation is reduced. Therefore, under increasingly dry climate conditions, the GERMINATOR becomes an essential machine for pre-sowing preparation.
