Setting up for a good crop

Pottinger TERRADISC cultivator. Pottinger TERRADISC cultivator.

The Pottinger TERRADISC cultivators have been proving useful for seedbed preparation by utilising 580mm diameter concave discs with adjustable cutting angles, to encourage good penetration and intensive mixing of plant residues with the soil.

The recently announced option of a Frontboard assembly, fitted ahead of the discs seeks to expand the capability of the machine by allowing it to work in previously ploughed areas. Using spring steel shanks with replaceable wear tips the unit will break up clods or lumps, and also present the discs with a level surface which is said to reduce loadings, which should result in reduced fuel consumption.

Adjustment in work is carried out by an independent hydraulic circuit, with depth control by spring clips fitted to the control ram. The Frontboard can be retro-fitted to all trailed TERRADISC models.
