Standard operation

The operation of the machine is hydraulic as standard. Key functions and settings such as folding, working depth adjustment, lifting at the headland position and ground pressure settings are controlled by three or four double-acting spool valves, depending on the machine model. Each spool valve performs several functions. The preselects are clearly labelled on the intuitively laid out hose tower.


TERRADISC 8001 T, TERRADISC 10001 T

One double-acting spool valve each for:

  • Folding

  • Headland position, jockey wheels, and transport interlock

  • Parking stand, chassis, and adjusting side pull and ground pressure


TERRADISC HT 12000

One double-acting spool valve each for:

  • Folding

  • Headland position and transport interlock

  • Adjusting side pull, rear roller damping, and ground pressure

  • Adapting jockey wheels, parking stand, and chassis


Profiline comfort control system

With the TERRADISC 8001 T and TERRADISC 10001 T, you can benefit from maximum operating convenience using ISOBUS with the optional Profiline comfort control system. All functions are controlled electro-hydraulically using a load-sensing hydraulic system or power beyond system, and a central hydraulic block.

The machine is operated by pressing a button on the control terminal or automatically by the task controller using section control and variable rate control. All cylinders are equipped with position sensors, allowing the terminal to display a visualisation of the main machine parameters, such as working depth and the pressure applied to the disc sections, for optimum ground tracking.

The EXPERT 75 and a choice of other ISOBUS control terminals are available. Thanks to ISOBUS, a TERRADISC with Profiline comfort control system can be connected to an agrirouter for data exchange.


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.
