2, 4 & 6 DISC RIDGERS

This primary soil tillage machine is mounted on the tractor’s hydraulic lifting unit and universal three-point linkage system, therefore transportation to the field can be done easily. These Disc Ridgers are used for making one, two or three ridges or seedbeds, and opening canals. Depending on the user’s requirements, disc angles can be adjusted up to 45˚. This machine is mainly used by vegetable farmers. By means of the adjustable hangers on the machine, the row spacing of canals and ridges can be adjusted from 300 mm to 1500 mm. This machine is manufactured from a 150 mm x 150 mm H-beam toolbar. The bearings are heavy duty flange-type bearings mounted on a 32 mm hanger with a heavy duty shaft and flange, accommodating
either a 610 mm or 660 mm disc (scalloped or plain).

S-TINE TILLER SERIES

This secondary soil tillage machine is mounted on the tractor’s hydraulic lifting unit and universal three-point linkage system, therefore transportation to the field can be done easily. These tillers are secondary soil tillage machines that has been developed for light cultivation, weed control and seedbed preparation and at the same time aerates and loosens the upper layer of the soil. The optimum working depth is between 50 mm to 100 mm at a speed of 8 to 12 kilometers per hour. The 2.0 m, 2.5 m, 3.0 m, 3.4 m and 4 m tillers come standard with a roller / crumbler and for the 6.0 m and 8.0 m
hydraulically folding tiller. The roller / crumbler is an optional extra. The roller / crumbler will leave a clod-free seedbed. The tines are manufactured from 300 mm x 10 mm high tensile spring steel. Each tine is fitted with a 100 mm single-hole sweep. This sweep can be replaced with a chisel point.

STRAIGHT & CURVED TINE RIPPERS / SUB SOILERS 620 SERIES

ATM SERIES (FULL & HALF TANDEM)

The cutting and soil turning action of the Tandem Disc Harrow varies with the diameter, weight and concavity of its blades, blade spacing and the angle of the Disc Harrow gang relative to the direction of travel, as well as the operating speed. In dry land farming, the Disc Harrow can help prepare overwinter stubble or prepare the land for seedbeds. In a mulch-till system that includes soil-structure improvement as part of de-weeding of lands, a Tandem Disc Harrow with 510 mm diameter discs adequate disc spacing could create a seedbed for a winter cover crop by partially incorporating harvested stubble knocking the stubs down and covering the crop residue creating a rough seedbed of overwinter residue. By managing plant residue, organic fertilizer will be increased in the soil and rain water will penetrate the soil with ease. The Tandem Disc Harrow can also run shallowly just before planting to eliminate all surface weeds and prepare seedbeds. This machine is manufactured from various materials depending on the model. The bearings are heavy duty ranging from flange-type bearings to grease-housing bearings. The gang shafts are high tension steel and the cast iron spacers are very robust. The bearings are heavy duty ranging from flange-type bearings to grease-housing bearings. The gang shafts are high tension steel and the cast iron spacers are very robust. The disc configuration is scalloped discs on the front gangs and scalloped discs on the rear gangs.

The disc sizes vary from 510 mm to 610 mm depending on the model. Tandem disc gangs are configured like an “X” with the front gangs left and right, lead with the outside ends ahead and angle back toward the centre. The back gangs are in the mirror position; have the inner ends leading in the centre of the tool and outside ends angling back. Gang angle is fixed at 18˚ or 20˚, or adjustable at lesser angles. Half Tandem Disc Harrows are also available. The gangs are configured like a “V” enabling the operator to cut contour lands and smaller fields enabling the operator to turn and manoeuvre the implement with ease.
