SOFTER PS

Tillage up to 12 cm with full-surface undercut and mixing

Technology

Disc cultivator Softer PS

1	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.
2	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.
Serrated discs for safe penetration into the soil 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 PS

Discs Ø 510 mm / Ø 560 mm arranged in two rows will undercut the soil. Working depth is 3.5–12 cm.
Clods are crumbled by the rear roller.

Discs with serrated circumference

Discs with the diameter of 510 / 560 mm are arranged in two rows. In case of contact with an obstacle, each disc is individually effectively protected by rubber suspension.

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.

Direction of the processed soil

The height and longitudinally adjustable side deflector for ideal processed soil direction.

Working depth adjustment

Easy working depth adjustment according to the overview table by the setting washers on the roller piston rods.

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.

All-round sharpened disc

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.
