The Terradisc’s compact harrow layout makes short work of stubble.
Designed specifically for stubble cultivation and seedbed preparation, the Pottinger Terradisc compact disc harrow has a compact layout and aggressive disc angle position to promote mixing of harvest residues in shallow seed beds and stubble.
The 3.0m and 4.0m trailing Multi-Line versions allow for the fitting of a seed drill to the rear, providing a one pass cultivation and seeding system.
The machine layout has 580mm diameter scalloped discs mounted on twin arms with large rubber suspension blocks to give a higher break-out force for work in harder soil conditions. These also protect the large twin-race double-sealed disc bearing units, ensuring trouble free life and maintenance.
The range has fixed or trailing versions ranging from 3.0m to 6.0m working width with a choice of rear roller options. Pack-Ring roller or Rubber Packer rollers have proven to be the most popular types, providing a cracking effect and breakdown of clods for a finer seedbed. These help by pushing the crop stubble into the surface of the soil to increase contact and accelerate breakdown of residues. The rollers also increase moisture retention by leaving a well consolidated surface.
Hydraulic folding side discs are a standard feature on all linkage-mounted and Multi-Line models, allowing the operator to reduce overall width in transport.
Meanwhile, hydraulic-folding trailing models have a rear transport wheel system which folds up and over the top of the discs when working. This increases weight over the discs, helping soil penetration and improving stability when working at high speeds.
Austrian manufacturer Pöttinger gave a sneak peek of a new automatic swath placement system for the Novacat V 10000 ED/RC Collector mowers at Agritechnica 2025, and recently confirmed that the upgrade will be available for the upcoming European mowing season.
Austrian manufacturer Pöttinger previously focused on grassland equipment then entered the arable sector with its acquisition of “Bayerische Pflugfabrik Landsberg”- the Bavarian plough factory - in 1975.
Pottinger has released details of its newly developed LIQUIDO F front-mounted, multi-purpose silage additive tank.
Formed in 1871, Austrian agricultural machinery manufacturer Pottinger originally focused on producing grassland machinery for a little over a century.
