This John Deere МЕТРО Cultivator is a heavy-duty soil preparation machine designed for large-scale pre-sowing cultivation. John Deere manufactures agricultural equipment for grain and row-crop farming, and this cultivator reflects their engineering approach to field preparation across extensive acreages.
The machine features a working width of 15.4 metres and is built around a five-section, five-row frame with 97 C-shaped tines total. The primary working stage consists of three front rows of tines operating across the full width to perform initial soil cutting and breaking. A fourth and fifth row handle inter-row cultivation and soil mixing across the entire working width. The tine spacing is set at a standard 152 millimetres, with tines measuring 270 millimetres in length to ensure complete coverage of the working zone. Maximum working depth is 127 millimetres, and individual tine pressure reaches up to 70 kilograms against the soil.
A floating hitch system with self-aligning copying wheels maintains consistent depth across the full cutting width, creating a level field surface and uniform soil structure. This configuration is particularly suited to fields with heavy residue and allows the machine to operate at high working speeds of 8–12 kilometres per hour while maintaining even load distribution across the tine frame and dual tandem wheel assemblies on the main and outer sections. The rigid drawbar is reinforced for this duty.
Finishing is performed by a three-row spring harrow with dual-spring construction, designed to aggressively break soil clods and leave a refined seedbed. The machine requires a tractor of at least 340 horsepower.
The unit was imported from the United States and has not been operated in Ukraine. Full pre-sale servicing has been completed. The frame is in excellent condition and repainted. The hydraulic system has been tested and confirmed in excellent working order. All working tines have been replaced.
