KEY PROPERTIES
A professional cultivator with a standard design suitable for traditional soil cultivation, as well as minimization systems.
For more frequent use in heavy conditions.
SWIFTER SO_PROFI is the top machine in semi-mounted seedbed cultivators available on the market. We have developed some interesting devices for the SWIFTER cultivator over the course of time. For example, there is the spring-loading of the side frames with a coil spring, the option of using a third crosskill roller after the rear rollers, or the front slatted roller with a replaceable pin.
Creating a seedbed for proper and even crop emergence.
Combining several operations into one means fewer passes over the field and lower costs of soil preparation. The front levelling bar or leveller perfectly levels off any unevenness. The front crumbling roller crumbles the clods. The main working section undercuts, aerates and warms up the soil layer. The machine can be equipped with a third crosskill roller with a large specific weight installed after the double crosskill rollers to achieve the maximum crumbling effect and fine structure of the cultivated field.
Enables the cultivator to work at a speed of up to 15 km/h.
The SWIFTER SO_PROFI cultivator has both side frames spring-loaded with a coil spring. This interesting design contributes to even weight distribution and above all absorbs shocks that are not transferred to the central supporting frame. The spring-loading of the side frames thus contributes to achieving higher working speed and machine durability, together with maintaining a constant working depth. Moreover, the spring-loading of the frames does not require any adjustments – it is a user-friendly and a trouble-free design.
Adjusting soil cultivation to the needs of the crop.
Sweep section
A sweep working section (summer and autumn soil cultivation – winter cereals, oilseed rape)
This working section can be used for summer and autumn preparation when soil needs to be loosened, undercut and mixed after the previous harvest. The 10.6 inches sweeps in two overlapping rows undercut the soil profile along the entire machine width, creating a firm bottom. At the same time, soil is aggressively processed thanks to the working angle of the sweeps, creating a loosening top layer. Each sweep is mounted on a flexible tine that provides a 3D effect (horizontal and vertical movement) which protects the sweep from damage.
SB sweep section
SB sweep section with spring sweeps (spring soil cultivation – sugar beet)
The section is especially suitable for spring cultivation before seeding sugar beet where it is required to adequately manage spring moisture, but still prepare a precise seedbed. The sweep angle does not mix soil vertically, but the soil is still undercut over the whole area thanks to the overlapping sweeps that are 6,7 inches wide. Another benefit is the reduced demand on the towing vehicle power.
Gamma-point section
Gamma-point working section (spring soil cultivation – spring cereals, corn)
This section is suitable for early spring operations, such as required before seeding barley. The four rows of gamma points at a negative angle aerate and warm up soil without bringing wet particles to the surface, which preserves winter moisture. It is important for a fast start of growth of spring crop. The spring-loading of each tine enables working at high speed. The gamma points for this section are also available in the LONG LIFE version.
For the perfect final soil structure.
When compared with competitive machines, SWIFTER SO_PROFI offers the widest range of rear equipment, including the levelling bar, harrow, finish roller or the third crosskill roller. The last crosskill roller has a diameter of 13.8 inches and creates the perfect soil structure, namely in difficult conditions.
Even weight distribution brings higher durability.
The side frames with individual working sections are suspended on a robust spacious frame. The supporting frame has a higher durability because the weight of the side frame is evenly distributed. The placement of the transport axle also contributes to that as it has a low centre of gravity, unlike competitive machines.
