Cross-country chassis. They are used in cases where the cultivator works on heavy soil, wet and slippery surfaces. It is possible to install pneumatic wheels of larger diameter or steel ground hooks on the axle shaft.

Weighting agents. They are used to improve the adhesion of wheels to the ground, to reduce muscle effort when cultivating compacted soil. Weighting agents can be attached to the axle shaft or frame of the unit. The weight of a set of goods is in the range of 30-50 kg.

Trailer devices. The simplest and most affordable is the adapter. Sitting on it, the operator is relieved of the need to pace many kilometers behind a working cultivator. More complex and expensive devices are cargo trailers and combined carts.
