Key properties

The XE_PROFI high speed disc with intuitive control and a series of technical advantages that increase the quality of work.

VERSATILITY

Its true name. See for yourself.

Tillage after harvest
Seedbed preparation

Tillage 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 notched or aggressive blades with a diameter of 20″×0.2″ or 22″×0.2″, providing excellent cutting, mixing with soil and incorporation of trash. The rear packers consolidate soil and close the cultivated soil profile to ensure even emergence of weeds and unwanted cereal seeds.

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 blade gang. The levelling bar in front of the rear packers helps with the final surface levelling, together with the excellent crumbling effect of the rear packers.

BEDNAR EASY CONTROL

Own software for the control of all functions.

SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI is a high speed disc fully compatible with ISOBUS. Speed disc can be operated with any ISOBUS compatible terminal. The BEDNAR EASY CONTROL software provides fully automated folding and unfolding of the implement 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.

X-PRECISE SYSTEM

Precise high speed disc guidance in the right track.

SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI models have blade gangs arranged in the pattern of X. This innovative technical design eliminates drifting of the implement to the side. That allows the high speed disc to precisely follow the tractor track. The central disc reduces the risk of ridge formation.

EVEN WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION

Always the same down pressure on both frames of the disc gang.

Maintaining the set working depth for even soil profile processing is the foundation of quality tillage. SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI high speed disc provide the same pressure on blades along the entire tool 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 implement, and it simplifies manipulation with the machine, both in the field and on the road.

FORWARD MACHINE FOLDING

Provides compact dimensions and safe transport.

Even with the working width of up to 40′ 8″, the SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI high speed disc is very compact in transportation, because it does not exceed the transport width of 9′ 10″ and the height of the machine is just below 13′ 1″. Such parameters are achieved thanks to the forward side frame folding, towards the drawbar.

LARGE SPACING BETWEEN GANGS

Work fast and eliminate the risk of clogging.

Speed discs can frequently get clogged while tillage or incorporating larger quantities of trash due to low clearance, or when the working speed is restricted to avoid the formation of waves. In their high speed disc category, SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI speed disc offer the largest distance between the front and rear rank of the blade gangs, 39″, and the distance of discs to the rear packer is up to 47″. The underframe clearance is about 24″ and it makes it possible to also incorporate large quantities of organic matter or manure.

ALFA DRILL SEEDER

Simple and easy cover crop establishment using a high speed disc with a seeder.

The SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI high speed disc can be equipped with the BEDNAR ALFA DRILL seeder while in production, for seeding cover crop and small-seed plants during tillage, all in one pass. The time and fuel savings are considerable. The seeder unit has a capacity of 22 bu.

PREPARED FOR CTF SYSTEM THANKS TO THE WORKING WIDTH OF 40' 8"

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 (20′, 40′, 60′, 80′ etc.), which prevents the formation of uneven compaction in the field as well as in the tracks that can be easily tilled.

CONTINUOUS AND FAST TURNING AT HEADLAND

With the gauge wheels and rear packers.

The SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI high speed disc is manoeuvrable very well at headland. The machine turns on the rear packers and dual caster gauge wheels at headland, only the blade gang 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 implement is in the headland position.

LOAD-SENSING SYSTEM

Only as much oil as actually needed.

The SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI high speed disc 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.

THINK BIG

Do more for less with maximum daily output.

The large SWIFTERDISC high speed discs are designed for to hitched with the most powerful tractors on the market. These speed discs offer maximum daily output thanks to their sophisticated design and high working speed.

Machine description

A concise summary of the main working tools of the high speed disc

SWIFTERDISC XE_PROFI High Speed Disc

Take a look at your future machine.

Trash Cutter roller

Cuts crop residue, namely the stalks of sunflower, corn or canola, and facilitates their incorporation and mixing with soil. The optimal size of crop residue accelerates decomposition and reduces the need for nitrogen.

Axle shifted forward

Provides ideal distribution of the implement weight and contributes to precise adherence to the set working depth thanks to the identical pressure on the disc section.

Dual caster gauge wheels

Provide excellent terrain contouring and maintain the set working depth along the entire width of the machine. The high speed disc travels on the caster gauge wheels and the rear rollers when turning at headland.

Blade gang

Blade gang with notched or aggressive discs, with a diameter of 20″×0.2″ / 22″×0.2″, and high throughput thanks to the Twin-Disc system.

Long drawbar

Provides safe turning at headland and enables the forward side frame folding.

Rear packers

The wide range of rear packers make it possible to adjust the machine to any conditions. The packers help close the surface and reduce evaporation of soil moisture.

OUR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

MAINTENANCE-FREE BEARINGS

Our oblique contact ball bearings are closed by two static and one dynamic cassette seal with four sealing ribs and run in a solid metal body. The hubs are attached to the blade with six bolts. They are oversized to ensure a trouble-free operation.

RUBBER TORSION PROTECTION

Two disc blades per arm design provides twice the space for rubber torsion protection. The rubber elements absorb shocks coming from the blades working the ground. The speed disc works fast and without maintenance even in the most difficult conditions. The elements are made from high quality rubber with a long service life.

TWIN-DISC MOUNTING SYSTEM

One arm for two blades allows for excellent trash flow. Crop residue such as huge amounts of straw or cornstalks can easily pass through the implement. Most high-speed discs have only one disc blade on each arm. Such design restricts the flow of the material namely in wet conditions or in heavy residue.

X-PRECISE SYSTEM OF THE DISC GANG

The unique design ensures precise implement trailing behind the tractor. As a result, the entire working width is being used since there is no side drifting of the implement.

WHAT DO THE FARMERS HAVE TO SAY?

“The leased machine convinced us with quality work in all conditions. The high speed disc is able to maintain the required working depth and incorporate trash in dry conditions thanks to its weight and blade geometry. Another reason for purchasing a BEDNAR implement was the requirement for a disc diameter of 22″, a levelling bar and rear U-RING packer for reverse consolidation. The BEDNAR speed disc met all those requirements. Among other things, we also required a seeder for establishing cover crop. In this category, the BEDNAR brand offers a factory solution that no other competitor is able to provide.”
