Cultivation well covered
Well known for making power harrows, rotary hoes, sub-soilers, mulchers and combination drills, Alpego has for 45 years used Swedish steel in delivering machines of high quality and durability.
The range of cultivation machinery was launched at the 2015 National Fieldays.
The flagship machine of the offset disc range, the EOS, is hydraulic folding and available in working widths 3.05-5.88m and transport width of only 2.5m.
The heavy duty construction is based on extensive use of high grade steel and manufacturing expertise that dates back 145 years. The main frame is built in three sections and uses steel up to 200 x 100 x 10mm to spread loads evenly across the whole machine. This leads to heavy tare weights, for example, over 4500kg on the 4.0m unit, which makes for easy penetration in primary situations without the need for additional ballast.
A choice of discs in 26 or 28 inch diameter offers disc weights of 132 and 148kg respectively, units being supported by greaseable taper roller bearings carried by a 40 x 40mm disc gang axle, and using water and dust seals with housing protectors for a trouble free service life.
Gang adjustment is carried out hydraulically, as is the adjustment of the self-levelling stabiliser system. The unit is carried on oversize 500-50 R17 tyres with hydraulic depth adjustment.
