Convenient to adjust efficiently

Varied soil conditions and differing tillage objectives mean that the TERRADISC needs to be set up specifically to achieve optimum results. This means that simple yet convenient machine adjustments are decisive in ensuring the right machine settings for effective and efficient work. This minimises the time required to adapt setting parameters when time frames are already tight. That is why machine operation is hydraulic as standard.

The Profiline comfort control system is available as an option to elevate operating convenience to an even higher level, offering the capability of site-specific regulation of the working depth. This brings about direct advantages ranging from fuel savings and reduced wear to increased productivity. Thanks to georeferenced cultivation, the best growing conditions can be created for the next crop.

Variable rate control and section control

The Profiline comfort control system provides the technical requirements for automatic, site-specific control of the working depth and lifting the machine using section control. This feature enables the TERRADISC 8001 T and TERRADISC 10001 T to achieve a geo-referenced working depth. As a result, it is possible to react automatically to different conditions and soil properties within each field. The basis for this function is provided by yield data and application maps. This brings about numerous advantages:

• Saves fuel

• Reduces wear

• Increases productivity

• Avoids unnecessary water loss by optimising working depth

• Provides optimum conditions for the next crop

At the headland, lifting and lowering can be automated using section control to avoid overlaps and increase convenience.

Side pull free at a consistent working depth

Because the front row of discs processes unloosened soil, they are subject to higher wear than the discs in the back row. Wear reduces the disc diameter and therefore the working depth. To counteract possible side pull and uneven working depth, the working depth of the first row of discs can be adjusted to compensate for disc wear using the central drawbar cylinder. Adjustments can be made while driving in order to react to varying soil conditions.

As a result, the trailed TERRADISC compact disc harrows ensure the machine runs straight without pulling to one side. Ultimately, this makes it possible to operate without overlaps and harness the full working width of the machine.

Turns on rear roller

At the headland, the trailed disc harrows are lifted and supported by the rear roller. This means that the transport chassis is not required for the turning manoeuvre and is only subjected to low loads. This saves precious time during turning and conserves the soil because the weight of the machine is distributed across the whole width of the machine by the rear roller. In addition, the large area of contact enables smooth turning without jolting, even at higher driving speeds. For tight turning manoeuvres, the drawbar allows a steering angle of up to 85 °.

Smooth running chassis

The proven design of the chassis runs smoothly to ensure confident handling during transport on the road, and in the field. This design also features compact outer dimensions in the transport position and a well-located centre of gravity with plenty of ground clearance and optimum weight transfer to the tractor.

The chassis is available either as a single axle or as a tandem floating axle, depending on the model. Air brakes or hydraulic brakes are available on certain models for enhanced safety on the road.
