Disc cultivator Softer

 

Technology

1 Full-area loosening zone. The double-row disc section with aggressive geometry ensures perfect full-area undercut to depth of 3,5–13 cm with intensive mixing of plant residues. The disc section also spreading well plant residues over the area.
2 Clod crumbling and soil reconsolidation zone. Optimum soil reconsolidation ensures good water infiltration and soil moisture rise.

High performance and quality of work

  • High working speed up to 15 km/h.
  • Gear disks for safe penetration into the soil and intensive mixing.
  • Working angle of the disks and pressure to each disk ensure uncompromising penetration even to heavy and over-dried soils and perfect undercut of the processed profile.
  • High quality rubber mounting for optimal working angles of the disk.
  • Precise deep guiding with optimum soil compaction.

Technics

Disc cultivator Softer PS

  1. Disks Ø 510 mm / Ø 560 mm located in two rows will undercut the soil. Working depth is 3,5–13 cm.
  2. Clods are crumbled by the rear roller.

Disc cultivator Softer PS

  1. Disks Ø 510 mm / Ø 560 mm located in two rows will undercut the soil. Working depth is 3,5–13 cm.
  2. Clods are crumbled by the rear roller.
  3. The additional Micro Drill machine for planting crops that can be seeded onto the soil surface. This includes, for example, mustard, phacelia, clover and grass.

Disks with dentate circumference

Disks with the diameter of 510 mm / 560 mm are located in two rows. For the case of contact with an obstacle, each disk is separately effectively protected by means of rubber mounting.

The disks are placed in maintenance-free bearings with excellent service life. Optimum geometry of disks ensures high-quality work with very good productivity and high percentage of incorporated plant residues. The disks retain ideal working angle even with partially worn geometry of disks. The disk spacing of 24 cm ensures good free flow of plant 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 placement of the disks
  • maintenance-free rubber mounting
High-strength materials
High-strength refined materials used for crucial nodes to ensure long service life. Strongly dimensioned frame of high-strength steels.
Maintenance free bearings
Maintenance-free placement of the disks ensuring operation of the machine with no need of additional lubrication.
Maintenance-free rubber mounting
Resistant and maintenance-free rubber mounting for adaptation to terrain with protection against overload.

Easy operation

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

  • Minimum of adjustment points.
  • Minimum of lubrication points.
  • No angles adjustments or translation of disks are needed.
Continuous connection of runs
Individually height-adjustable deflector for smooth connection between each passes.
Direction of the processed soil
The height and longitudinally adjustable side deflector for ideal direction of the processed soil.
Adjustment of working depth
Easy adjustment of the working depth according to the overview table using the distance washers on the roller piston rods.

Smartly performed designed machine

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

  • Skilful when working in the field due to a short compact design.
  • Light construction of the machine with no need of weighing down results in low operating costs.
  • Very good self-cleaning capabilities of the space between the disc and the tine.
Full-perimeter disc edges
Easier disc soil penetration.
Permanent pressure of the side frames
Automatic terrain tracing and permanent pressure of the side frames in Softer 8 and Softer 11 PS due to compensating accumulation vessel.

Proper selection of the type of the rear roller contributing significantly to the final quality of the processing 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.
