A compact disc harrow for smallholders with the properties of larger professional models, suitable for basic soil cultivation and seedbed preparation.
The new generation of SWIFTERDISC XN compact disc harrows offers more choice. SWIFTERDISC XN machines are equipped with 520 mm diameter discs as standard, with a 560 mm option available on request. Standard serrated discs or specially shaped Aggressive discs are available.
Compact disc harrows can now be fitted with ENDURANCE discs supplied by French manufacturer FORGES DE NIAUX. These offer a longer service life than standard designs thanks to the high hardness of the discs in the working area. ENDURANCE discs are highly resistant to extreme impacts and deformation.
The SWIFTERDISC XN is supplied with hydraulic working-depth adjustment. Depth is set on the hydraulic cylinders using integrated spacers.
Folding side discs are optional equipment. This design ensures that you can use the full working width of the machine and transport it safely on roads. The side folding discs are rised mechanically for transport.
SWIFTERDISC XN offers various rear packer options. From the cage packer with a diameter of 630 mm to the double-row U-RING with a ring diameter of 500 mm. Choosing the right packer ensures effective surface consolidation and reliable clod crushing.
The SWIFTERDISC XN compact disc harrow range has been expanded with a new 1.75-metre model. Like other models in the SWIFTERDISC XN range, this model can be fitted with 520 or 560 mm diameter discs. Rear packers with a diameter of 630 mm are available.
The SWIFTERDISC XN disc harrow can be equipped with the BEDNAR ALFA DRILL unit for sowing catch crops and small-seeded plants during stubble cultivation in a single pass. The savings in time and fuel are significant in this case. The hopper capacity is 400 liters.

Easy connection to the three-point hitch of the tractor. Category III hitch
The disc section can be equipped with discs with a diameter of 520 or 560 mm. Choose from standard serrated discs or specially shaped aggressive discs.
The robust design of the main frame with high ground clearance is suitable for high-quality processing of land with large amounts of crop residues.
Provide consolidation and closure of the soil profile for even germination of unwanted cereal seeds and reduced evaporation of soil moisture.
It perfectly levels any minor unevenness and evenly spreads clods along the entire machine width.
The SWIFTERDISC XN offers hydraulic depth control from the tractor cab as standard. The desired depth is set on the hydraulic cylinder using integrated spacers.
One arm for two discs provides a high material throughput. Crop residue can easily flow through the machine (large quantities of straw, crop residue after grain corn). Most compact disc harrows only have one arm per disc. Such design restricts the flow of material namely in wet conditions, or when there are large quantities of crop residue.
The mounting of two discs on one arm provides twice the space for rubber segment securing. The rubber segments absorb shocks formed during soil cultivation. The cultivator works fast and without maintenance, even in very difficult conditions. The rubber is high quality, with a long service life.
The ball bearings with an oblique contact are closed by two static and one dynamic cassette seal with four sealing ribs, and they move in a solid metal body. The bearings are attached to the disc with six bolts. They are oversized, which ensures a trouble-free operation.
„I tried the BEDNAR stubble cultivator together with machines from German and Polish manufacturers. Because I liked the work of the stubble cultivator and the price was also favorable, I decided on the BEDNAR brand. I also work with the stubble cultivator in services, cultivating approximately 350 hectares annually. I use it for stubble cultivation and seedbed preparation. What I like about the cultivator is the crumbling and mixing effect of the large-diameter A-discs (520 × 5 mm), the maintenance-free disc bearings, and the good work of the rear steelring packer.“

The U-RING packer is a double-row steel packer. The rows are offset, which provides an excellent self-cleaning effect. The packer is great for crumbling, and the U-shape rings and the low risk of clogging make it suitable for work in wet conditions. The double packer increases machine stability at work. Packer diameter 500 mm.
The cage roller is made of massive steel rods with a good crumbling effect, particularly when reaching higher working speed. Packer diameter 630 mm. A suitable design for light soils. Weight: 121 kg/m.

Tillage
Quality and fast stubble cultivation is one of the most important operations in tillage. According to good agrotechnical practices, it should be carried out as soon as possible after the harvest. This will ensure the optimisation of soil moisture management, the rapid emergence of weeds and thus prevent the later weeding of land.
