5. Design and Operation Principle
HERMES power cultivator unit (see Fig.7-2) is a machine of a compact design, mounted on the three-
point linkage/hitch of the tractor by means of a frame (7). The drive from the tractor power take-off
shaft to the machine power take-on shaft is transmitted via the PTO drive shaft (supplied with the
harrow) with the safety clutch, to the bevel gear (1). The vertical shaft of this gear transmits the drive
to the cylindrical gear; this wheel drives the serially positioned gears located in the flat transmission
(2).
Discs (3) are fixed to the shafts, on which the gears are mounted. Working knives (4) that rotate
alternately to the right and to the left as working components are attached to these discs.
When rotating in the soil, they break up the lumps, loosen the soil and level the field's surface.
