New min-till disc combinations help cut costs
23rd August 2024
The 2023 harvest showed great results from PFC’s new min-till disc combinations, the company says, helping to improve soil health and reduce establishment cost.
The 3m setup with high or low disturbance leg options on the Awemak Sherp are protected by sprung auto reset.
The standard hydraulic 3-point linkage couples directly to the Ozyrus discs with minimal downtime to separate and connect as required.
Using hydraulic linkage allows ultimate precision adjustment to the depth control of both the Sherp disturbance legs and the 3m discs. This setup is a version of a Horsch Joker.
The Ozyrus discs have as standard, two rows of 12 discs with 560mm diameter, active side screens, deflector board between the row of discs, straw tines, hydraulic depth control, LED lights and steel ring packer.
There are various rear rollers and packers available with the option of doubling up to have a twin roller or packer.
The Sherp and Ozyrus combination allows on-the-go adjustment of the working depth of the two components to suit ground conditions and soil types.
Having the ability to separate the two components facilitates more varied jobs – chitting grain after harvest being the main consideration, and utilising the discs to work the top 1cm then reconnecting before drilling to work the ground, preparing an ideal seed bed.
