Design
The arms of the Bracke M36.b are articulated so that they give way to fixed obstacles. The outer arms could temporarily be pulled in to avoid obstacles. To adapt to various soil conditions, Bracke M36.b can be delivered with three- or four-pointed mattock wheels. The hydraulics are load-sensing and are connected to the prime mover. Central lubrication is standard on the Bracke M36.b.
Machine control
The control system is based on a PLC platform and communicates over a CAN bus. The control system is very user-friendly. The mounder is fitted with sensors that send information to the control system about, for example, the base machine’s speed and the rate of rotation of the mattock wheels. The control system has eight programmable operating programs chosen from the controls in the cab. The display is used to make settings in the control system and read information from the scarifier. The control system keeps track of the number of mounds, for both individual sites and in total, the distance covered, and the number of hours worked.
