KEY PROPERTIES
SWIFTEDISC XE_MEGA is a unique line of extra-wide disc cultivators with a standard design and the highest working width on the market.
Choose discs you need.
Stubble breaking is one of the most important field operations. According to the proper agricultural procedures, it should be done as soon after harvest as possible. For this operation, the SWIFTERDISC XE_MEGA can be equipped with serrated or aggressive discs with a diameter of 20.5 × 0,2/ 22× 0.2 inches, providing excellent cutting, mixing with soil and incorporation of crop residue. The rear packers compact soil and close the cultivated soil profile to ensure even emergence of weeds and unwanted cereal seeds.
Perfectly precise disc cultivator guidance in the right track.
The wide SWIFTERDISC XE_MEGA models also have disc sections arranged in the shape of an X. This innovative technical design eliminates drifting of the machine to the side. This allows the disc cultivator to precisely trace the tractor track. The central disc reduces the risk of ridge formation.
Always the same down pressure on both frames of the disc section.
Maintaining the set working depth for even soil profile processing is the foundation of quality soil cultivation. SWIFTERDISC XE_MEGA cultivators provide the same pressure on discs along the entire machine width thanks to the tandem axle having been moved forward and the concept of two undivided folding side frames. The structural design of the machine reduces the number of hydraulic cylinders where side frame pressure could be lost. This design also reduces the number of points of lubrication, the overall wear of the machine, and it simplifies manipulation with the machine, both in the field and on the road.
Lifting up the disc working section is all you need to do.
The SWIFTERDISC XE_MEGA wide cultivator is easily manoeuvred despite its maximum working width of 18.4 metres, even at headlands. The machine turns using the rear rollers, the front support swivel wheels, and the transport axle. This design eliminates the negative load on the hitch and takes the load off the tractor when the machine is in the headlands position.
Reduced numbers of passes and soil compaction.
The CTF (controlled traffic farming) system eliminates soil compaction and optimises the passes of the individual sets. When working, the individual sets travel across the field in the given grid of the working width (19.7 – 39.4 – 59 – 78.7 feet, etc.), which prevents the formation of uneven compaction in the field as well as in the tracks that can be easily tilled.
Forward folding of side frames.
Even with the largest working width of 60.4 feet on the market, the SWIFTERDISC XE_MEGA wide disc cultivator is very compact in transportation, because it does not exceed the transport width of 9,8 feet and the height of the machine is just below 13 feet, even when equipped with double V-RING or U-RING rollers. Such parameters are achieved mainly thanks to the forward side frame folding, towards the drawbar. The tandem transport axle with wide-base tyres ensures a smooth ride.
Make the most of your tractor power.
The SWIFTERDISC XE_MEGA wide cultivator is designed for aggregation with the most powerful tractors on the market, such as quadtrac tractors. In combination with the working width of 60.4 feet, the high engine power and the working speed, it is possible to achieve high daily outputs of up to 230 ha.
Do more for less with maximum daily output.
The wide-span SWIFTERDISC cultivators are designed for aggregation with the most powerful tractors on the market. These cultivators offer maximum daily output thanks to their sophisticated design and high working speed.
