KEY PROPERTIES
The XE_PROFI wide disc cultivator with intuitive control and a series of technical advantages that increase the quality of work.
Its true name. See for yourself.
Stubble breaking after harvest
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, SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI 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.
Seedbed preparation
The optimal diameter in combination with the high working speed provide a high circumferential speed of the discs, which leads to excellent crumbling and mixing effect of the disc section. The leveller in front of the rear packers help with the final surface levelling, together with the excellent crumbling effect of the rear packers.
Own software for the control of all functions.
SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI is a disc cultivator fully compatible with ISOBUS. Machine can be operated with any ISOBUS compatible terminal. The BEDNAR EASY CONTROL software provides fully automated folding and unfolding of the machine using a single button, and all working parameters are set by entering the values at the terminal. All the settings, including the working depth, can be comfortably adjusted also during work, which prevents undesirable downtime.
Precise disc cultivator guidance in the right track.
SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI models have disc sections arranged in the shape of X. This innovative technical design eliminates drifting of the machine to the side. That 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_PROFI cultivators provide the same pressure on discs along the entire machine width thanks to the axle moved forward and the concept of two 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.
Provides compact dimensions and safe transport.
Even with the working width of up to 40.7 feet, the SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI cultivator is very compact in transportation, because it does not exceed the transport width of 10 feet and the height of the machine is just below 13 feet. Such parameters are achieved thanks to the forward side frame folding, towards the drawbar.
Work fast and eliminate the risk of clogging.
Machines can frequently get clogged while stubble breaking or incorporating larger quantities of crop residue due to low clearance, or when the working speed is restricted to avoid the formation of waves. In their disc cultivator category, SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI cultivators offer the largest distance between the front and rear row of the disc section, 39.4 inches, and the distance of discs to the rear packer axis is up to 47.2 inches. The frame clearance is about 23,6 inches and it makes it possible to also incorporate large quantities of organic matter or manure.
Simple and easy catch crop establishment using a disc cultivator with a seeding unit.
The SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI cultivator can be equipped with the BEDNAR ALFA DRILL seeding unit while in production, for seeding catch crop and small-seed plants during stubble breaking, all in one pass. The time and fuel savings are considerable. The seeding unit has a capacity of 11/23 litres.
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 – 59.1 – 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.
With the support wheels and rear packers.
The SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI wide disc cultivator is manoeuvrable very well at headland. The machine turns on the rear packers and front support swivel wheels at headland, only the disc section is lifted up, without the need to lift up the entire frame. This design eliminates the negative load on the hitch and unloads the tractor when the machine is in the headland position.
Only as much oil as actually needed.
The SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI wide disc cultivator is connected to the tractor’s LOAD-SENSING hydraulic output using only three hoses. The adjustable pump then only delivers as much oil under pressure as needed by the specific task of the individual function; it is all completely automated. The system efficiently uses the pressure in the hydraulics and controls the individual functions that required high output.
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.
