KATOR KN_L
KATOR KN
KATOR KN_PROFI

The KATOR KN_L is our first model of power harrows, available in working widths from 9′ 10″ to 16′ 5″. With a rotor spacing of only 8.9″, it offers superior clod-crumbling and precise seedbed preparation for optimal crop establishment. This tool offers the best combination of reliability, efficiency, and lightweight construction for easy use and quality seedbed preparation.

The KATOR KN represents our mid-range offering. This implement is available in working widths from 9′ 10″ to 19′ 8″ and fits with BEDNAR standards: a design focused on robustness, a high number of rotors per meter for quality seedbed preparation, and smart options to adjust the machine to customer requirements (QUICK-CHANGE system, hydraulic settings). The KATOR KN is equipped with a robust gearbox, able to withstand intense use, potato seedbed preparation, or heavy soils.

The KATOR KN_PROFI represents the top-range offering by BEDNAR. This range provides implements with working widths from 19′ 8″ to 26′ 3″ and makes no compromises: a sturdy gearbox, external oil-cooling system, highly robust frame, and quality rock protection for trouble-free use in the most intensive conditions. The 8.9″ rotor spacing offers excellent crumbling, and the wide range of options available (QUICK-CHANGE system, transport axle) delivers a professional-grade tool tailored for farmers with high standards.

ROBUST GEARBOX

For perfect power transmission.

The central shaft is the main part of the power harrow and the most used component. The connection between the special solid crown with an elongated case and a reduced central shaft (3″) provides for a perfect transfer of force between the gearbox and the cascade of gearwheels.

ONE ROTOR, THREE BEARINGS

A design that no-one else offers.

Each rotor is equipped with three bearings (the shaft is mostly surrounded by bearings). This system provides for perfect rotor stability and protects gearwheels, shafts and gaskets from damage. No other competitor offers three bearings per rotor.

QUICK BLADE REPLACEMENT

Easy replacement without the need for special tools.

A quick and easy blade replacement. Just pull out the safety pin, remove the pin and replace the blade. It is a system designed to be used without any special tools and equipment.

*only available on KN and KN_PROFI

PROTECTION AGAINST STONES

Avoid rotor damage.

The special “STONE” equipment prevents stones from penetrating or sticking between the blade holder flange and the rotor. The bearing holder and cover are made from one part. The cover is screwed to the machine frame and the shaft turns inside the cover. This way, no foreign objects that could damage the gasket or bearing can enter the rotor area.

A LARGE NUMBER OF ROTORS PER METRE OF WORKING WIDTH

Perfectly prepared field

The folding arrangement of the BEDNAR KATOR power harrow offers only 8.9″ between rotors. A larger number of rotors per metre of the working width improves soil crumbling.

LEVELLING BAR

Prevents clogging and creating waves.

The rear levelling bar is very close to the rotors. This design is better for higher quality of soil levelling (a greater distance between the rotor and the rear levelling bar creates waves).

HIGHLY ROBUST FRAME

Stronger than in any other competing implement.

The bottom part of the main frame of the gearbox cascade of gearwheels is made of steel with a thickness of 0.5″. The main gearbox is not filled with oil but with a highly viscose grease that ensures reliable lubrication of the gearwheels. Also, the risk of oil leak into soil is eliminated in case of tub damage, such as puncture.

Spodní část hlavního rámu převodové kaskády ozubených kol je vyrobena z oceli o tloušťce 12 mm. Hlavní převodovka není naplněna olejem, ale vysoce viskózním mazivem, které zajišťuje spolehlivý chod ozubených kol. V případě poškození vany, například při průrazu, tak je eliminováno riziko úniku oleje do půdy.

EXTERNAL GEARBOX COOLING

A quiet operation, a long-lasting engagement.

The KATOR KN 6000 model and the KN_PROFI model series can be equipped with external gearbox oil cooling for intense long-lasting operation without overheating.

HIGH-QUALITY P.T.O. SHAFT

By Walterscheid.

The KATOR KN power harrows have high quality P.T.O. shafts by Walterscheid in various dimensions according to the model.

OUR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

ONE ROTOR, THREE BEARINGS

Each rotor is equipped with three bearings (the shaft is mostly surrounded by bearings). This system provides for perfect rotor stability and protects gearwheels, shafts and gaskets from damage. The system provides perfect rotor stability and absolute protection from dust. No other competitor offers three bearings per rotor.

CARBIDE KNIVES FOR HIGHER RESISTANCE

We recommend choosing the LONG-LIFE blades with carbide tips for higher resistance when used in rocky soils or extremely heavy soils.

WHAT DO THE FARMERS HAVE TO SAY?

“We started using the BEDNAR KATOR KN 23′ Q PROFI power harrow at our farm for tillage in difficult conditions in fields that are hard to cultivate. We tested what the power harrow can do and in my opinion it is a high-quality implement. Thanks to the high number of rotors per feet of working width the clod crushing is much better than in competitive power harrows. I am very pleased with the harrow and so we also purchased another BEDNAR power harrow with a working width of 26′.”

AGRONOMICAL GUIDE

SEEDBED PREPARATION
Seedbed preparation is an important operation for the formation of a uniform and balanced seedbed prior to crop establishment. Each crop and field requires different seedbed preparation based on the climate, or the chosen date of tillage. The aim of the seedbed preparation is to create an ideal soil structure in the field, with a harder bottom and loose top soil layer, to level the field after previous operations, and to open, warm up and aerate the soil profile for even crop emergence.
