RFL700 Rotavator for Carrier Vehicles 140-220 HP

Our smallest rotovator for carrier vehicles with 3-point hitch: power lift CAT II or CAT III of the power category 140-220 HP.

The rotovator RFL700 features strongly dimensioned machine components. The powerful performance is demonstrated on a daily basis worldwide by grinding roots and root balls into the earth. The maximum working depth of 30 cm provides intensive cultivation of areas to be cleared. The vertical machine design means that it can also be retrofitted as a reversed rotovator. Usually, this process only mills the top layer of soil. This approach significantly reduces power consumption and tool wear.

The RFL700 guarantees excellent performance under difficult grinding conditions.

Application Areas

Infrastructure measures
Infrastructure measures are any measures that are used to build and maintain infrastructures. Among other things, those include complete or selective clearing or land management in preparation for infrastructure construction work.

Furthermore, it also includes infrastructure maintenance and clearing around existing installations. That includes street and road construction and the expansion of rail networks or airports.

Stump grinding
This often refers to stump milling, tree stump shredding or root stock recycling. This may involve rootstock processing with a stump grinder on site and leaving the ground material behind.

A second option is to process the stumps in the ground with a rotovator. Another method is to mulch or shred tree stumps or root balls on the surface that have been excavated in a previous process e.g., Using excavators, bulldozers or track loaders.

Land clearing
The phrase “land clearing” involves a range of different applications and terms. In many cases, site clearance refers to secondary vegetation and for construction clearance. This may involve forest clearance for areas intended for use such as wind farms, parks, road construction or golf courses.

It may also include applications such as the removal of windblown timber or burnt areas, preparation work for surface mining and of equal importance, amenity areas. Site clearance can also be considered in plantations, arboretums, horticulture and landscaping.

When clearing large areas, no selective mulching takes place, as large areas or parcels with a range of different types of vegetation are processed by the mulcher. In many areas of the world, other methods are used for the same purpose, such as slash and burn, chaining or simply bulldozing the area. When these methods are used, vegetation is uprooted by bulldozers or stretched chains, and then burned or buried. In contrast to these methods, mulching is the process with the lowest degree of intervention in the ecosystem. Whether mulchers or rotorvator are used, the shredded biomass remains and greatly improves the fertility of the soil.
