Technology

Disc cultivator Softer PRO

1 Preliminary preparation zone
a) Flexi-cut - cutting crop residue
b) Flexi-board - levelling soil surface
2 Full-surface tillage zone. The double-row disc section with aggressive geometry ensures perfect full-surface undercut to depth of 3.5–12 cm with intensive mixing of crop residues. The disc section also spreading well crop residues over the surface.
3 Clods crumbling and soil re-compaction zone. Optimum soil re-compaction ensures good water infiltration and soil water capillarity to the surface.

High performance and quality of work

  • High working speed up to 15 km/h.
  • Symmetrically arranged two rows of serrated discs for reliable penetration into the soil, levelling and intensive mixing.
  • Working angle of the discs and down-pressure to each disc ensure uncompromising penetration even to heavy and over-dried soils and perfect undercut of the processed profile.
  • High-quality rubber suspension for optimal working angles of the disc.
  • Precise deep guiding with optimum soil compaction.

Technics

Disc cultivator Softer PRO

  1. Possibility to install front tools: Flexi-cut for effective crop residue cutting or Flexi-board for levelling soil surface.
  2. Discs with Ø 530 mm, symmetrically arranged in two rows, undercut the soil. The working depth is 3.5–12 cm.
  3. Clods are crumbled by the rear roller.

Discs with sharpened all-round

Discs with the diameter 530 mm are arranged in two rows. In case of contact with an obstacle, each disc is individually effectively protected by rubber suspension.

The discs penetrate into the soil perfectly and also cut crop residues.

The discs are mounted in maintenance-free bearings with excellent service life. Optimum discs geometry ensures high-quality work with very good productivity and high percentage of incorporated crop residues. The discs retain ideal working angle even with partially worn discs geometry . The disc 24 cm spacing ensures good throughflow of crop residues.

Robust design

High-strength refined materials in connection with eXtra STEEL line technology guarantee long service life of our machines even in the most difficult conditions.

  • Maintenance-free disc bearings.
  • Maintenance-free rubber suspension.
Massive transport axle with brakes
Controlled from the tractor cabin.
Maintenance free bearings SKF
Maintenance-free disc bearings ensuring machine operation without additional lubrication.
Maintenance-free rubber suspension
Durable and maintenance-free rubber suspension for terrain adaptation with protection against overload.
One disc - one tine
The individual placement of each disc on a separate tine allows for higher pressure and better penetration into the soil, eliminates clogging and does not transmit shocks to the bearings of adjacent discs.

Easy operation

Due to minimum adjusting and lubricating points, the operation and subsequent maintenance are very easy steps that anybody can perform.

  • Minimum adjustment points.
  • Minimum lubrication points.
Hydraulic depth adjustment
The working depth of the discs can be conveniently adjusted hydraulically directly from the tractor cabin.
Safe machine control
Intuitive adjustment and operation.
Easy side deflector adjustment
Precise smooth connection between each passes.
Flexi-cut / Flexi-board hydraulic control
Controlled from the tractor cabin, can be changed during operation.

Smartly performed designed machine

The advantage of this machine is its multipurposeness and adjustability bringing high variability work.

  • Skilful when working in the field due to a short and compact design.
  • Low operating costs due to light machine construction without need extra weight.
  • Very good self-cleaning capabilities of the space between the disc and the tine.
Aggressive disc angle
Ensures full-surface undercut at any working depth.
All-round sharpened disc
Easier disc penetration into the soil.
Transport position
A unique folding system enabling the machine with the working span up to 12.35 m to be folded to the transport width 3 m and height 4 m and thus complies with the regulations for vehicles operation on the public road.
Symmetrical arrangement of discs
The symmetrical arrangement of the discs eliminates lateral forces transmitted to the tractor.
Automatic side frame down-pressure
Side frames with hydraulic pressure perfectly follow uneven terrain.
Depth gauge
Easy to read during work from the tractor cabin.
Front working tools
Front working tools can be fixed in front of the work discs. Choose between Flexicut cutting rollers or Flexiboard front levelling bar.
High machine throughput
Hook tines increase the machine throughput.
Flipping transport axle
The flipping transport axle increases the pressure of the cultivating discs.
Rollers in one row
Rollers in one row ensure even soil compaction even in the corners and edges of the field and the possibility of fast turning on the headlands directly on the rollers.
Stable when crossing road
The rigid solid construction of the main frame and axle makes the machine very stable during transport. Pneumatic twin-hose brakes ensure a high degree of safety for fast efficient road transport.

Proper selection of the type of the rear roller contributing significantly to the final quality of the tillage is very important. The soil is recompacted by the roller and then it is the same way crumbled and levelled. The selection of the type of the roller depends on the soil type and on the manner of use of the machine.
