Perfect mixing, first-class leveling, and site-specific recompaction
The CROSSMAX is a KNOCHE innovation designed for farms that want to work with uncompromising precision, even under changing conditions. With its x-arrangement of discs, hydraulic working depth control, and a wide range of front and rear tools, the machine adapts flexibly to the soils, crops, and intended task. It combines mixing and leveling in a single pass—for results that are immediately ready for seeding.
At the heart of the CROSSMAX is the x-arrangement of discs. This design ensures perfectly straight operation, prevents lateral pull, and distributes the tensile forces optimally. The result is consistent performance across the entire width and incredibly effective mixing right inside the machine. It also makes adjusting the machine a breeze.
The serrated concave discs, with diameters of 510 or 560 mm, cut crop residues cleanly and mix them thoroughly into the topsoil. Even with large amounts of crop residue, the quality of work remains consistent. The special geometry of the disc angles ensures that the discs penetrate the soil optimally.
The CROSSMAX comes standard with maintenance-free, long-lasting bearings. The bearings are screwed onto the disc stems, allowing for quick replacement. Ideal for operations where short setup and maintenance times are important.
Clearly visible scales, hydraulic working depth control, and tool-free folding side plates make operation convenient and safe. All settings can be controlled from the tractor, which saves time and reduces the driver’s workload.
The CROSSMAX comes standard with an interface for attaching a cover crop seeder. This is mounted on top, in the center of the machine, and allows the seed to be placed directly into the loose soil in front of the roller. We also offer an APV adapter as an option.
Depending on the soil type and the intended operation, a variety of rollers are available. From the lightweight tubular roller to the heavy-duty U profile roller (GtG), reconsolidation can be optimally adjusted. The trailing harrow is adjustable in height and angle and ensures a fine, crumbly surface texture.
