For detailed information on shipping and delivery, please contact your local distributor.
What are your prices?
In order to see the price list it is necessary to register and obtain authorisation from the website administrator.
Can I buy the spare parts directly from the manufacturer?
No, as for the machines, you have to order them through your local distributor.
Can I buy these machines directly from the manufacturer?
No, you have to order them through your local distributor.
When changing gears to the tiller, is it absolutely necessary to loss all the oil inside gearbox ?
No, in order to
avoid oil loss it should be enough laying the tiller of about 30° on the
front. In this way the oil level will be under and there won’t be any
loss.
What is the role of clamps, slides and spreaders?
CLAMPS: they facilitate the shredding of cuttings from pruning as they hold the material to be cut
SLIDES:
- they adjust the distance between the ground and the tool
- they make the machine movement smoother and help it to overcome obstacles
- on soft and sandy soil they help the roller to stop the tool sinking
SPREADERS OR DEFLECTORS: applicable only to the shredders with liftable cover, they help to distribute the material coming out uniformly
Can the Eco Chipper also be used for leaves and similar?
No, the Eco Chipper is made for shredding bushes and wood shavings.
Why could the gearbox of the tiller and mower overheat?
A possible cause is lack of oil. We recommend checking the oil level.
For further details please refer to the local authorized workshop.
Which checks are required during a continuous work?
Detailed information can be found in the operation and maintenance guide.
In general:
- greasing the cardan coupling and other tool parts
- temperature of the transmission elements
What checks must be carried out before operating the machine?
Detailed information can be found in the operation and maintenance guide.
In general:
- oil levels
- greasing the cardan coupling and other tool parts
- tightening nuts and bolts
- tensioning chain/belts (where fitted)
Is it possible to order the machine with a different cardan coupling from the standard one?
Yes. Every machine has a cardan coupling recommended according to the
type of work it does; however, it is possible to have an alternative
cardan coupling to better fit the customer’s needs.
What is the rotor speed?
It depends on the machine family: the shredders do about 2000 rpm and
the tillers about 250 rpm. Within the family, the number of revolutions
changes according to the model.
What is the correct position for the machines to work?
The tool must be parallel to the ground. For further information please see the operation and maintenance guide.
What is the weight of the machines?
The weight varies according to the model and the machine size: please refer to the product page you are interested in.
What is the role of the gearbox?
The role of the gearbox is to vary the rotor speed in the tiller and the
blade speed in the spader according to the operator’s needs.
What are the working depths of the spader and the tiller?
The depth depends on the type of soil, the machine model and the tool adjustments.
What are the overall dimensions of the machines?
The overall dimensions vary according to the model and the machine size: please refer to the product page you are interested in.
Are different sizes available other than the standard ones?
No, they are not available.
What is the difference between the work of a SPADER and a TILLER?
The TILLER performs the finishing touches of the job, as it finely
shreds the soil. The SPADER does a more thorough job digging the soil
deeply and ignoring the finishing touches. It is typically used when the
soil needs to rest after working.
Is it normal that the gearbox gets overheated when it is working?
The overheating of the gearbox when working is normal. An empirical
method to understand whether the temperature is excessive is observing
the paint of the gearbox. If this tends to become dark that means the
temperature is too high. In such a case we recommend you to verify that
the oil level is proper.
Should you reintegrate oil, SICMA recommends
following the instructions on our handbook. With machines equipped of
gear-change, a further check to be made is for the correct coupling of
gears (for example it needs to be verified that it’s not being used a
configuration set for 540 rpm on a tractor at 1000 rpm). For further
details please refer to your closest authorized workshop.
Can I transform a fixed shredder into a shifting one or vice versa?
The shredder models available in both versions are: SL – TMX – TE – TSN
What is the average movement of the machine?
The movement varies according to the model and the machine size: please refer to the product page you are interested in.
Can I move the tiller hydraulically while working?
The models movable during operation are:
- HL and SH automatically by means of a feeler
- SMF hydraulically from the tractor
Is the tool moved to the right or the left?
Right hand side forward-facing.
How is the tool moved? Screw, bolt or cylinder?
SHREDDER:
- hydraulic cylinder
- worm gear
- telescopic tube
TILLER:
- hydraulic
- worm gear
- manual
