Key features
5 rows of hoes Extra frame height
NorAn Simple has one of the highest throughput capacities on the market.
Thanks to its 5 rows of spring hoes and its frame height of 60 cm, Simple guarantees a good working performance even in areas with heavy stalk residues.
The 80×80 mm gantry beams are arranged with a spacing of 500 mm.
The hoes are mounted on the beam with a 14.2 cm gap, which ensures a homogeneous surface across the entire width of the machine.
These dimensions allow for a distance of 71 cm between the hoes in a row, ensuring a clog-free operation even in the most difficult conditions.
Robust 4-roller frame structure
The NorAn Simple is designed to handle even the most hardest ground with ease.
The cultivator’s hoe spread is divided into three parts, with two 40 mm diameter pins on each side of the central fixed frame to ensure the pivot point of the wings, and two working rollers on each side to guarantee stability during operation.
Exceptional versatility - 70x12 spring hoes
The 70×12 mm spring hoe is the key to Simple’s optimal working quality.
The continuous vibration of the hoes allows the soil to be cultivated to a depth of 15-18 cm.
The 60 mm spear (wear tip) provides very good mixing in the top layers, ideal for seedbed preparation.
A 200 mm wide heart-shaped hoe is also available, which is ideal for shallow stubble ploughing and ensures the right mixing quality across the full width of the implement.
As an option, the hoes can also be ordered with additional 70×10 mm auxiliary springs, which increases the load capacity of the hoe tills.
Convenient hydraulic adjustment
You won’t find spindles to roll on the NorAn Simple shallow cultivator.
The machine is designed so that you can adjust everything from the driver’s cabin of the tractor.
That’s why hydraulic cylinders are used for the sealing rollers, as well as for the front shredding rollers and the crossboard line.
This innovation gives operators unrivalled convenience and speed – without the use of any tools.
Levelling unit in front of the cylinder
For a perfect finish, a leveller is mounted between the hoe implement and the roller, with an easily adjustable working depth.
As these elements are mounted on the roller frame, they move automatically with the roller when the working depth is adjusted, so they almost only need to be adjusted during commissioning.
The balk haulers fill in the trenches opened by the rear hoe line, so that the soil in front of the roller is already levelled, resulting in a uniformly compacted soil across the entire width of the machine.
The advantages of NorAn Simple:
1. Increased area performance in shallow stubble ploughing and seedbed preparation
Thanks to the 5 rows of 14.2 cm spaced hoes, Simple has one of the highest throughput capacity on the market.
This is the ideal tool to avoid clogging with stalk residues and ensure a uniform working quality across the entire width of the machine.
All of these features make Simple the best seedbed preparer for farmers engaged in minimum tillage.
2. MECHANICAL WEED CONTROL CAN PREVENT RESISTANCE
The NorAn Simple hoes loosen the weeds in the soil.
The harrow clears the roots of the soil clinging to them and deposits the plants on the soil surface, where they wither and die.
Mechanical weed control prevents the development of herbicide resistance and allows more effective crop protection, by creating the best conditions for germination at a low cost.
What can the Simple shallow cultivator do?
• Mechanical control of weeds
• Seedbed preparation after ploughing or heavy cultivation
• Soil loosening after heavy rains or autumn ploughing for aeration
• Application of slurry and manure
• one-time loosening, thus aerating the soil in spring
• the second treatment after the heavy cultivator: stubble care (elimination of voluntary plants)
• better spreading of the straw after the combined harvester

NorAn’s engineers aimed to achieve the highest possible strength, so they chose 80x80x5 mm and 80x80x4 mm S355 material grade sections for both the main frame and the roller frame.
Two hydraulic cylinders are responsible for moving the wings and for stabilising the position of the wings in the working position.
These ensure the long life of NorAn Performance.
One of the biggest advantages of the NorAn Simple is the spacious hoe layout and the extremely high ground clearance, positive features that ensure that the machine can easily handle even heavily stubbled areas.
If that’s not enough, you can order the Simple light cultivator with a front shredding roller, which shreds the stalk residue to 14-15 cm, so you can be sure of a clog-free finish in all conditions.
