SIAFD knocks it out of the park!
While the temperature was struggling to reach about 5 degrees and the horizontal hail had enough grunt to slice cheese, the SIAFD committee knocked it out of the park by delivering another great event.
Aimed primarily at high speed stubble cultivation, for incorporating large volumes of crop residue and to encourage germination of volunteer and weed seeds, the Sumo Mixidisc can also be used for secondary cultivation on previously worked ground.
From the front the unit has a parallel drawbar for easy hook-up and reduction in tractor hitch wear, through to an over-dimensioned main frame whose weight should give it good penetration in tough conditions, and a long service life.
Under the frame are two gangs of 500mm scalloped discs mounted on independent rubber suspended arms with optimum spacing and cutting angles. The discs are followed by a row of hydraulically adjusted levelling paddles to ensure a good finish across the width of the machine.
Bringing up the rear is a 609mm patented Multipacka, whose shouldered rings and high weight result in optimal firming of the soil and a weatherproof finish.
Working depth is adjustable from 20-140 mm and effected by the rear roller assembly. Power requirement of the 6m unit is about 220hp.
With a working width of 6m and a transport width less than 3m, the machine should offer high output but be easy to move around; with this in mind all units have hydraulic brakes and lighting kits as standard.
Options available include rear drawbars and wheel track eradicators.
