Key properties

SWIFTERDISC XE cultivators offer a series of technical solutions that make them suitable for both shallow stubble cultivation and seedbed preparation

VERSATILITY

Its true name. See for yourself.

Stubble cultivation after harvest
Seedbed preparation

Stubble cultivation 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 the SWIFTERDISC XE can be equipped with notched or aggressive discs with a diameter of 520 × 5 mm or 560 x 5 mm, providing excellent cutting, mixing with soil and incorporation of crop residue. The rear packers consolidate soil and close the cultivated soil profile to ensure even emergence of weeds and unwanted cereal seeds.

The small disc diameter in combination with a high working speed provide a high circumferential speed of the discs, which leads to excellent crumbling and mixing effect of the disc section. If you are planning to use the disc cultivator for soil preparation more frequently, we recommend adding the front Crushbar levelling bar to the SWIFTERDISC XE for levelling and breaking the rough furrow.

HYDRAULIC SETTING

Easy and fast disc cultivator working depth setting.

The required working depth is set precisely using hydraulics. The machine working depth can be easily set using tipping clips on the hydraulic cylinders of the disc cultivator.

CRUSHBAR LEVELLING BAR

Use the disc cultivator for soil preparation as well.

To increase the all-year-round utilisation, the SWIFTERDISC XE wide cultivator can be equipped with the hydraulically controlled Crushbar levelling bar in the front. This combination provides perfect soil profile levelling, clod crumbling, and soil preparation.

TANDEM AXLE SHIFTED FORWARD

Contributes to ideal weight distribution.

The SWIFTERDISC XE wide disc cultivators have the transport axle shifted forward, in front of the first disc section row. This design contributes to ideal weight distribution and allows it to achieve higher working speeds. The telescopic connecting rods help stabilise frames where the disc sections are mounted.

EVEN WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION

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. The SWIFTERDISC XE cultivators provide the same pressure on discs along the entire machine width thanks to the axle being 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.

CONTINUOUS AND FAST TURNING AT HEADLAND

With the support wheels and rear rollers.

The SWIFTERDISC XE wide disc cultivator is easily manoeuvred at headlands. The machine turns on the rear rollers and front support wheels at headlands, 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.

FORWARD MACHINE FOLDING

Provides compact dimensions and safe transport.

Even with the working width of 12.4 m, the SWIFTERDISC XE cultivator is very compact in transport mode, because it does not exceed the transport width of 3 metres and the height of the machine is just below 4 metres. Such parameters are achieved thanks to the forward side frame folding, towards the drawbar.

ALFA DRILL SEEDING UNIT

Simple and easy catch crop establishment using a disc cultivator with a seeding unit.

The SWIFTERDISC XE cultivator can be equipped with the BEDNAR ALFA DRILL seeding unit while in production, for seeding catch crop and small-seed plants during stubble cultivation, all in one pass. The time and fuel savings are considerable. The seeding unit has a capacity of 800 litres.

THINK BIG

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.

Machine description

A concise summary of the main working parts of the wide disc cultivator.

SWIFTERDISC XE Disc Cultivator

Take a look at your future machine.

Axle shifted forward

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

Front double support wheels

Provides excellent terrain contouring and maintains the set working depth along the entire width of the machine.

Crushbar levelling bar

The hydraulically controlled Crushbar levelling bar is especially suitable for initial surface levelling and for breaking the rough furrow before the disc section. The individual leveller paddles are reinforced. It is easily controlled using the hydraulic circuit from the comfort of the cabin.

Disc section

Disc section with notched or aggressive discs, with a diameter of 520 / 560 × 5 mm, and high throughput thanks to the Twin-Disc system.

Long drawbar

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

Rear packers

The wide range of rear packers and rollers makes it possible to adjust the machine to any conditions.

OUR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

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.

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.

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 disc cultivators 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.

Accessories

We know that everyone has different requirements for the optional machine equipment and its expected use. Therefore, you can specify your own SWIFTERDISC XE versatile disc cultivator to precisely match your needs.

Front equipment

Double front support wheels

AGRONOMICAL GUIDE

STUBBLE CULTIVATION
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.
