Agriweld is introducing its new min-disc cultivator, featuring its IP-protected Snap-Bar, Agri-packer roller and Easy Clean Scraper Bar system.
The all-new min-disc cultivator allows the worthy top layer of tilth to be cultivated, combining the stubble and soil to create a positive environment for seed growth prior to drilling.
The 2021/22 model is currently available as a 3m, 6-leg option, but a 4m folding model will be the next addition to the range.
Features include:
- 3m 6-leg rigid mounted
- Agriweld’s innovative Snap-Bar shear leg protection
- New Agri-packer roller
- Easy-clean scraper bar system
- Two rows of concave, serrated 508mm diameter discs, in pairs to prevent disc slip
- Road lights
- Hydraulic packer depth control
All models include the standard Snap- Bar shear minimum disturbance leg and GLS point that work up to 300mm deep, shattering and aerating the sub- surface; while the two rows of concave, serrated discs cultivate the surface tilth, combining organic trash and soil to create a cultivated seedbed prior to drilling, and a prosperous environment for seed growth post drilling.
The Snap-Bar shear system has transformed the shear process and offers advantages not possible when using traditional shear bolt or bar methods, Agriweld says. Benefits include: quick and easy replacement, no tools required, three uses per Snap-Bar, varying strengths available and broken piece remains attached to the leg socket.
Meanwhile the new Agri-Packer and Easy Clean Scraper Bar is fitted as standard to firm the soil surface and leave a weatherproof finish. Other roller options are also available if preferred. The shallow profile of the shoulder assists with achieving consolidation across the whole packer width. The roller also crushes and breaks up any soil clods whilst retaining drainage under the surface. Roller shoulders create drainage channels and drive teeth penetrate the channel bottom to allow for water and nutrient ingress. In addition, an efficient, cost effective roller option with replaceable shoulders and stub axles is fitted throughout Agriweld’s range of cultivation equipment.
The Easy Clean Scraper Bar system enables quick and easy displacement of soil and other organic matter from the scrapers, ensuring these are not transferred to other fields or dropped on the road in transport.
The operator is able to slide the adjustment bar out of the end of the scraper through the simple removal of two pins, allowing it to be repositioned into the tube situated on the scraper bar. This makes it easy to lever and pivot the scraper bar into the ‘unload’ position. Simply reverse the process to return the scraper bar into work position once all soil and organic matter is displaced.
The easy clean system is available across the range of subsoilers and packer options.
