Oleo-Mac MTC B62 Motor Cultivator

Engineering approach to soil cultivation

The Oleo-Mac MTC B62 is built on the principle of balancing tractive effort with maneuverability. The key component here is the transmission, which delivers torque directly from the engine to the active attachments. Unlike budget belt-driven systems, this design minimizes friction losses, which is critical when working on heavy or compacted soil.

Power unit and torque transmission

At the heart of the machine is a reliable overhead valve (OHV) gasoline engine, ensuring a stable torque curve even under high loads. This configuration promotes better cooling of the combustion chamber and reduces fuel consumption compared to side-valve equivalents. The tiller's gearbox features a reinforced housing that effectively dissipates heat and seals the internal gears against dust and moisture—a vital factor for field durability.

Ergonomics and control

The steering column is designed with center-of-gravity distribution in mind: the operator can adjust the handles not only in height but also horizontally. This allows for walking alongside the machine, preventing the operator from stepping on the freshly tilled soil. A crucial technical feature is the sophisticated damping system, which absorbs vibrations and reduces physical strain during long hours of operation. The active tiller drive uses a heavy-duty clutch to ensure smooth starts without jerking, preserving the transmission's lifespan during frequent maneuvering.
