Key properties

Whether you need stubble cultivation or want to use your compact disc harrow for seedbed preparation, the SWIFTERDISC XO_F is the right choice.

VERSATILITY

Its true name. See for yourself.

Stubble cultivation after harvest
Seedbed preparation

Stubble cultivation is one of the most important operations. According to proper agrotechnical procedures, it should be performed as soon as possible after harvest. For this operation, the SWIFTERDISC XO_F can be equipped with notched discs or aggressive discs with a diameter of 520 × 5 or 560 × 5 mm, which ensure excellent cutting, mixing with the soil, and incorporation of plant residues. The rear packers then consolidate the soil and close the soil profile for even weed and volunteer seedlings emergence.

The optimal diameter of the discs, combined with high working speeds, allows high circumferential speeds of the discs to be achieved, ensuring excellent crumbling and mixing effects of the disc section. Especially for more frequent use in soil preparation, we recommend equipping the SWIFTERDISC XO_F compact disc harrow with a front levelling bar – Crushbar, which is used to level unevenness and break up rough furrows.

INTEGRATED AXLE AND PACKER LAYOUT

Extremely stable even at higher working speed.

The double-row arrangement of the rear packers provides greater stability at high speeds than a single row, and also eliminates the gap in compact disc harrows with twin rollers in one row. The integrated axle ensures even weight distribution and eliminates swaying of the machine. It also makes transport safer and reduces the turning radius of the tractor with the harrow at headlands.

EASY WORKING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

Mechanical or comfortable hydraulic setting.

The working depth of the compact disc harrow is set easily on the rear packers. If the machine is equipped with front support wheels, their adjustment is automatic using mechanical connecting rods.

TRASH CUTTER

A cutting roller for tough crop residues.

The SWIFTERDISC XO_F compact disc harrow can be equipped with a Trash Cutter cutting roller in front, which is ideal for cutting plant residues and tough stalks. The chopped crop residues decompose better in the soil and facilitate soil tillage without clogging the machine.

CRUSHBAR LEVELLING BAR

Use the compact disc harrow for seedbed prepartion as well.

To increase year-round utilization, the SWIFTERDISC XO_F can be equipped with a hydraulically controlled Crushbar in front of it. This combination ensures perfect leveling of the soil profile, crumbling of clods, and seedbed preparation.

ALFA DRILL SEEDER

Establishing catch crop in one pass.

The SWIFTERDISC XO_F compact disc harrow can be equipped with the BEDNAR ALFA DRILL seeder 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 litres.

HYDRAULIC DRAWBAR

Perfect terrain contouring – always and anywhere.

The SWIFTERDISC XO_F compact disc harrow is equipped with a hydraulic drawbar. We use this technical solution because it facilitates connection to the towing vehicle and, above all, improves the quality of work, as the compact disc harrow perfectly follows the unevenness of the terrain.

SAFE TRANSPORT

Excellent stability and high working speed.

The integrated axle, positioned close to the tractor, ensures excellent driving characteristics. The working sections of the machine fold upwards, and the frames are conveniently secured using hydraulic locks. Smooth and safe transport with a transport width of up to 3 meters and a transport speed of up to 20 km/h.

Drawbar

A hydraulically adjustable drawbar contributes to perfect terrain contouring and levelling any unevenness.

Crushbar levelling bar

It is used for levelling the rough furrow and for initial levelling in front of the disc working section.

Disc section

Disc section with notched or aggressive discs, with a diameter of 520 / 560 × 5 mm.

Integrated axle

Distributes weight evenly and contributes to the machine stability.

Support wheels

Help maintain stability and process soil evenly along the entire width.

Rear packers

A wide range of rear packers allows the machine to be adapted to specific conditions. The arrangement of the packers in two rows prevents the machine from rocking during operation. The packers help to reseal the soil surface and reduce soil moisture evaporation.

Tine harrow

It perfectly levels any minor unevenness and evenly spreads clods along the entire machine width.

OUR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

TWIN-DISC MOUNTING SYSTEM

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.

RUBBER SEGMENT DISC SECURING

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.

MAINTENANCE-FREE BEARINGS

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.

DOUBLE-ROW REAR PACKER LAYOUT

The two-row layout of rear packers provides better stability at high speed than a one row design, and also eliminates the gap in machines with two rollers in one row. The machine must work in a steady and stable manner to achieve a levelled field without waves.

HYDRAULIC DRAWBAR

The hydraulic cylinder of the drawbar provides excellent terrain contouring. It removes tension affecting the machine drawbar and absorbs shocks, even at high working speed

WHAT DO THE FARMERS HAVE TO SAY?

“We are very pleased with our purchase of the BEDNAR machine. This is going to be the second season. Last season, SWIFTERDISC processed over 1,000 hectares, it is a very versatile machine that can be used basically throughout the whole season. It is very stable thanks to the integrated axle and the hydraulically controlled drawbar, which can be set to a floating position. I also appreciate the low fuel consumption, about 6 l/ha. My neighbour has also recently purchased SWIFTERDISC after he saw how well it works at my farm.”
