A MOUNTED SEEDBED CULTIVATOR SUITABLE FOR SMALLER FARMERS

The low towing demands make the SWIFTER SN mounted seedbed cultivator suitable for connection with lower power tractors, which are often used by smaller farmers. The working width of these cultivators ranges from 9′ 10″ to 16′ 5″. The effective combination of working tools provides intense levelling, mixing, clod crumbling and final field surface levelling. In one pass, you can prepare the perfect seedbed and thus achieve savings in the total costs.

Key properties

A mounted seedbed cultivator suitable for seedbed preparation before seeding.

UP TO 7 OPERATIONS IN ONE PASS

Creating a seedbed for proper and even crop emergence.

Combining several operations into one means fewer passes through the field and lower costs of tillage. The front levelling bar perfectly levels any unevenness. The front roller crumbles the clods. The main working section undercuts, aerates and warms up the soil layer. The final clod crumbling is provided by various types of rollers in combination with other equipment behind the rollers.

EXCHANGEABLE WORKING SECTIONS

Adjusting tillage to the needs of the crop.

Sweep section
SB sweep section
Gamma-point section

A sweep working section (summer and fall tillage – winter cereals, canola)

This working section can be used for summer and fall seedbed preparation when soil needs to be loosened, undercut and mixed after the previous harvest. The 10.5″ sweeps in two overlapping ranks 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 shank that provides a 3D effect (horizontal and vertical movement) which protects the sweep from damage.

SB sweep section with spring sweeps (spring tillage – sugar beet)

The section is especially suitable for spring tillage 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 in the whole area thanks to the overlapping sweeps that are 6.7″ wide. Another benefit is the reduced demand on the tractor.

Gamma-point working section (spring seedbed preparation – spring cereals, corn)

This section is suitable for early spring operations, such as required before seeding barley. The four ranks 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 the 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.

WORKING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

Mechanical or easy hydraulic regulation.

Even the smallest models of the SWIFTER SN mounted seedbed cultivators are easily controllable. You can choose from mechanical regulation of the working depth, or comfortable hydraulic regulation.

FOLDING ARRANGEMENT

For models with a width of 13' 1" and 16' 5".

The width of the implement is a limiting factor for transportation on roads in the European Union. Therefore, the SWIFTER SN 13’R and 16′ are manufactured in the folding version to ensure safe transport. The centre of gravity of the cultivator is moved as close to the tractor hitch as possible, so the set is stable even at high transport speed.

OUR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

MAINTENANCE-FREE BEARINGS

Roller bearings are adjusted to the high circumferential speed and are maintenance-free. The operator thus does not have to regularly lubricate each bearing, which there are many on a seedbed cultivator. Multiple gaskets prevent contamination of the bearing and the reinforced gasket design reduces its damage.

WHAT DO THE FARMERS HAVE TO SAY?

“To be able to influence the yield of the grown crops as early as during the first seedbed preparation, we have to use quality seedbed cultivator that make it possible. Therefore, I decided to purchase the SWIFTER SN so that I can prepare a quality seedbed in one pass. Yes, someone might object that I only need a simple and cheap harrow for 110 acres, but every good farmer knows that a quality seedbed is essential for good seed emergence, and I am also aware of that, that is why I chose BEDNAR.”

AGRONOMICAL GUIDE

SEEDBED PREPARATION
Seedbed preparation is an important operation for the formation of a uniform and balanced seedbed prior to crop establishment. Each crop and field requires different seedbed preparation based on the climate, or the chosen date of tillage. The aim of the seedbed preparation is to create an ideal soil structure in the field, with a harder bottom and loose top soil layer, to level the field after previous operations, and to open, warm up and aerate the soil profile for even crop emergence.
