EC Declaration of Conformity In compliance with Directive 2006/42 EC The manufacturer APV-Technische Produkte, Dallein 15, A-3753 Hötzelsdorf, hereby declares that the product Roller hoe RH 600 M1 Implement type designation / serial no. (see handover declaration and title page)
Provisions Dear customer! We are pleased and congratulate you on your purchase and wish you lots of fun and success in working with this implement! Please be sure to read all the instructions in this operating manual before operating the implement! Warranty Please check the implement for any transport damage immediately upon receipt.
When driving on roads after field operation, the implement should be cleaned of field residues (soil, grass, etc...). Operating manual for the APV roller hoe RH 600 M1 Mounting on the tractor The implement must be mounted on the 3-point linkage of the tractor.
Pivot point of the folding These 2 + 2 arms must ALWAYS be in working position before they are folded up! Figure 3: Layout and mode of operation 1. Star rings with a diameter of 500 mm Figure 4: 2. Feeler wheels 3.
Thanks to its robust and compact design, the RH 600 roller hoe is ideal for breaking up crusted soils and designed for controlling weed grasses in various crops. The rotating hoe rings bury or uproot the weeds, promote tillering of the crop, incorporate oxygen into the soil and break up hard soil crusts.

Limitation of the negative range Figure 12: Using the quick lifting (available as an accessory), the implement can be adapted to the crop without using tools, only the folded-up arm must be fixed with the pin in the top hole. If the quick lifting device is not active, the pin can be stored in the parking position in the last hole.
Maintenance and care To maintain the implement in good condition even after a long service life, the following instructions must be observed: In the supplement "For your safety…" you will find some basic safety regulations for maintenance work. Original parts and accessories are designed especially for the machines or implements. Please note that spare parts and accessories not supplied by us have also not been tested and approved by us.

Exchanging the star rings/bearings To be able to exchange worn or broken star rings, you only have to loosen the hexagonal bolt (Figure 16) and remove the ring including the bearing and the black attachment discs. To exchange broken bearings, loosen the 6 hexagonal bolts, remove the black attachment discs and press out the bearing (Figure 17).
13.3 Calculation of the weight ratios If you want to drive with an implement that is attached to the 3-point linkage, you must ensure that you do not exceed the tractor's permissible axle loads and tyre load capacities with the mounted implement. The front axle of the tractor must be loaded with at least 20 % of the net weight of the tractor.
Page 17
3. Calculation of the actual front axle load T v tat If the required minimum front ballast (G ) is not reached with the front-mounted implement (G ), the weight V min of the front-mounted implement must be increased to the weight of the minimum front ballast! Now enter the calculated actual front axle load and the permissible front axle load specified in the tractor operating manual in the table.
Thanks to its successful use in cereals, maize, beets, squash, oil rape seed, vegetables, peas, soy, and horse beans, the APV roller hoe makes a significant contribution to soil cultivation. It covers everything from the crop rotations to fertilisation, and soil tillage to mechanical weed control. The objective of its concept will be to keep the weed population so small that the weeds cannot cause any qualitative or quantitative damage to your crops.
15.1 Hitting the right growth phase • Measures that are performed before the crop emerges are particularly effective. For this reason, weed control must be coordinated as precisely as possible with the soil tillage and seeding dates. • "Blind harrowing" (before the cereals emerge) often achieves very good results. This can be performed until the cereal starts tillering.
Page 20
Beets Use at a growth height of 3 – 4 cm (light to medium aggressiveness) Vegetables Use for cuttings and seeds: At a growth height of 4 to 5 cm (light aggressiveness), cuttings – approx. 14 days after planting (light aggressiveness) Use depending on the weed pressure and soil conditions Peas Use: Blind harrowing...
My idea The RH 600 M1 was extensively developed and tested. It took a long time from the initial idea to serial production. It required lots of commitment from individual employees and the entire development team. We collaborated with universities, specialists from the field and initiated research projects.
