The floting is a new system of positioning and adaptable control in this case to an interárboles, but that might be useful in any other accessory mounted on a machine, for example, brushes of sweeping prunings, bars of fumigation, etc. And that in this accessory has the need to control so much the distance, as the pressure on the soil.

In the example we will study it controlling a plate intertrees mounted in a crushing machine.


The characteristics that must be outlined and as which this invention has great tactical value and technical sound the following ones.

CHARACTERISTICS

1ª- Principal arm of great length registers in the posterior part of the machine with spherical systems to kneecap with total freedom of movements.

2ª- Guided in parallelogram with kneecaps, adjustable in length from the center of the arm, to be able like that to manage the suitable positioning and in addition to support it when there takes place the elevation and the descent of the implement.

3ª- Controlled by a mechanical adjustable spring in pressure for the perfect control of the force exercised on the soil, and in order that it rises resting on the low disc or skates with little effort> 5 kg.

ADVANTAGES

1ª- With this system we reduce the efforts to which it surrenders to the principal arm in drafts, differences of the area and when we feel a tree.

2ª- When the plate detects any obstacle it begins to move back and at this moment also it changes his position in length and rises with more facility and mas rapid increasing this way the efficiency before the unforeseen ones and impediments that we are in the field.

3ª- The variation of height is from 0 to 400 mm. Saving this way any existing obstacle in the street.

4ª- The positioning has all the possibilities thanks to the combination of existing regulation in cross between all the joints:

• Parallelograms in the central arm.
• Angulation to the speck.
• Angle of assault.
• Height of work.
• Control of pressure for the soil.
• Control of setback of the plate.

5ª- It is very important to stand out, that the setback to the tree, realizes by means of a gas absorber, that first and thanks to the gas, it prevents that the setbacks against the tree are sharp, and on the other hand, the efforts supported by all the joints and mechanisms of the machine are minimal, obtaining this way a great mechanical reliability and a long duration, this very important aspect to stand out, since the systems that today exist on the market have big problems of reliability.

6ª- It has a plate of 800 m / m. with exterior protector of rubber and mounted on bearings in order that its draft and control is always soft and without fouling.

7ª- It is possible to fold up in vertically for the transport reducing the dimensions and bringing the weight over to the tractor this way to increase the safety in the transport.

8ª- The cleavers exercise a great force of depression to the soil, absorbing the grass and facilitating its cut.

9ª- The bottom plate with sealed bearings serves to prevent the cutting elements touch the ground and there is a minimum depth control.

10ª- The hydraulic power is independent, 60 horse power, operated from the multiplier in the output shaft, has a refrigerator with built-in automatic heater and audible, valve start / stop, control board pressure gauge control in view of the operator, tank 120 l.

This has been a major challenge for the team of people working on the strong engineering SERRAT MULCHERS, but we are compensated and proud because after 2 years of work, we have a product that we know will be highly valued by our customers, and also assist as many others to improve the quality of field work and quality of life of our farmers.
