The rotor beam mounting on the LION 103 C series has been completely revised. The folding frame integrated into the rotor beam results in a 35 cm shorter design compared to the models in the previous series and its nearest competitors. This makes it possible to move the weight of the machine and its rear roller closer to the rear axle of the tractor. Positioning the centre of gravity closer to the tractor means better front axle loading.
At the same time we have increased the gap between the bearings on the rotor beam hinge points to improve the durability of the robust folding frame.
The working depth is set for each frame section using swing clips and without the need for tools. Adjustment is easy and is accessible from the side of each folding section. The correct position is achieved by moving an integrated push rod with a scale that is easy to read.
The 8-hole matrix and ratchet wrench supplied are used to fine-tune the position of the levelling board. This means that when the working depth of the power harrow is changed the levelling board is adjusted automatically as well.
Thanks to the integrated folding cylinders being located under the headstock, the LION 103 models offer an unrestricted view of the entire machine. In the working position the cylinders are completely retracted and therefore protected from dust and dirt.
The machine can be parked in the unfolded position without additional supports because there are no central tines.
It is also possible to park the machine when folded. In combination with a seed drill it is recommended the machine is parked in the unfolded position (simply detach the coulter arms).
