The origin of spiral rollers at BUSA™ dates back to the 90s when we started producing rollers from square section steel bars as an alternative to ring rollers. These achieved soil pressure mostly from their own weight, but this also put a lot of strain on the machines during transportation. Therefore, the wedge-profile spiral roller, which is spring-loaded, was born.
The rubber roller was developed to meet the needs of the northeastern Hungarian regions. The soils there have difficulty losing water in spring, so wet patches in the larger hillsides make the work of traditional seedbed makers impossible. After several versions and designs, the current design was born.
The roller with internal scraper is a universal alternative to the rubber roller. The problem was that we had to use a rubber roller on minute soils in spring, but these same soils quickly wore out the roller when they dried out in summer, so we had to figure something out.
We achieved today’s streamlined and simple structure through many steps. For example, there was a version where a closed tube could bounce freely. It looked good on paper, but in practice, you could hear the machine rattling from miles away. Interestingly, the C spring of the scraper is made of the same material as the Busa™ Rotor.
A clod breaking roller, typically used on Rotary seedbed makers and Disc harrows. It creates a fine clod structure on the surface while providing light compaction beneath. For wet soils, early spring…
seedbed preparation, we recommend the version with our patented internal scraper.
T-profiled heavy roller for soil compaction. Similar in design to the spiral angle profile roller. The T-profile spine provides effective clod-breaking and deep compaction. Suitable for rough surfaces and resistant to clogging due to its mud scrapers.
It is typically used as a finisher for Heavy field cultivators.
The BUSA™ Rubber roller excels in wet soil conditions. Its custom-designed rubber elements deform upon contact with the soil, shedding mud stuck to them through deformation. Soil cultivation is impossible where even this adapter gets clogged.
It’s advisable to use it as a complementary tool paired with a slated roller, as it wears quickly under dry conditions.
FKMs are generally equipped with BUSA™ Spring-loaded Slated roller with internal scraper, but they are compatible with Rubber rollers as well…
or Spiral Angle Profile Roller. For sowing small seeds and preparing a shallow seedbed, the double Slated roller is recommended.
In the case of Subsoilers or Heavy field cultivators, the rollers also play a role in depth control. Due to high loads and uneven surfaces, we use roller diameters around 600 mm, which are not only stronger but also have a larger contact surface due to their greater diameter.
A wide range of working tools is available for our SZF and Kulti-Kom cultivators, tailored to soil conditions and work processes.
These can be equipped with Slated roller, Spiral angle profile roller, and their internal mud-scraper versions. These can be equipped with Slated roller, Spiral angle profile roller, and their internal mud-scraper versions. Large-diameter, mud-scraper Angle profile roller or Spring-loaded sweeper.
Our Heavy “VE” field cultivators are equipped with a large-diameter T-profile roller, which performs well on rough surfaces. Thanks to its internal mud scrapers, it does not clog with crop residues or wild plant growth.
For finishing the work done by the Disc harrow, we use centrally hitched, “tilting” slated roller mounts. These adapters can follow the surface irregularities…
perpendicular to the direction of travel for better soil contact. Compatible with rollers between 340 – 400 mm
