Key properties

Whether you need to cultivate a stubble field, or use you disc cultivator for seedbed preparation, 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 field operations. According to the proper agricultural procedures, it should be done as soon after harvest as possible. For this operation, SWIFTERDISC XO_F can be equipped with notched or aggressive discs with a diameter of 520 × 5/ 560 × 5 mm, providing excellent cutting, mixing with soil and incorporation of crop residue. The rear packers consolidates soil and close the soil profile to ensure even emergence of weeds and unwanted cereal seeds.

The optimal disc 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 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 SWIFTERDISC XO_F, for levelling unevenness and breaking the rough furrow.

INTEGRATED AXLE AND PACKER LAYOUT

Extremely stable even at higher working speed.

The two-row layout of rear packers provides better stability at high speed than one row design, and also eliminates the gap in disc cultivators with two rollers in one row. The integrated axle ensures even distribution of the machine weight and eliminates its swaying. Moreover, it ensures safer transport and reduces the turning radius of the tractor with the cultivator at headland.

EASY WORKING DEPTH CONTROL

Mechanical or comfortable hydraulic setting.

The working depth of the disc cultivator is easily set on the rear rollers. If the machine is equipped with front support wheels, they are set automatically using the mechanical connecting rods.

TRASH CUTTER

A cutting roller for tough crop residue.

The SWIFTERDISC XO_F cultivator can be equipped with the Trash Cutter roller in the front, an ideal choice for cutting crop residue and hard stalks. Such cut crop residue decomposes better in soil and facilitates subsequent soil cultivation, preventing machine clogging.

CRUSHBAR LEVELLING BAR

Use the disc cultivator for soil preparation as well.

To increase the all-year-round utilisation, SWIFTERDISC XO_F 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.

ALFA DRILL SEEDING UNIT

Establishing catch crop in one pass.

The SWIFTERDISC XO_F 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 400 litres.

HYDRAULIC DRAWBAR

Perfect terrain contouring – always and anywhere.

The SWIFTERDISC XO_F disc cultivator is equipped with a hydraulic drawbar. We use this technical design as it facilitates the connection to the tractor, and above all, improves the quality of work because the disc cultivator perfectly contours any terrain unevenness.

SAFE TRANSPORT

Excellent stability and high working speed.

The integrated axle mounted near the tractor provides excellent driving abilities. The working sections are folded upwards; frames are comfortably secured using hydraulic locks. A smooth and safe transportation with a transport width of 3 metres and working speed up to 20 km/h.

Machine description

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

SWIFTERDISC XO_F Versatile Disc Cultivator

Take a look at your future machine.

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

The wide range of rear packers make it possible to adjust the machine to any conditions. Two-row packer layout prevents machine swaying during work. The packers help close the surface and reduce evaporation of soil moisture.

Tine harrow

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

OUR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

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

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.

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.

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.”

Accessories

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

Front equipment

Simple front support wheels

Maintain the set working depth along the entire machine width, help with terrain contouring and prevent machine swinging.

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 levelling paddles are reinforced. It is easily controlled using the hydraulic circuit from the comfort of the cabin.

Front cutting roller Trash Cutter

The front, screw-shaped Trash Cutter roller is equipped with sharp blades. The small roller diameter enables to achieve a high circumferential speed. The roller provides an excellent cutting effect in processing the stalks of oilseed rape, sunflower, or catch crop. Thanks to that, the crop residue is mixed with soil better, which accelerates its decomposition. The down pressure of the roller is controlled hydraulically from the tractor cabin.

Disc section

Aggressive discs

The specially shaped discs offer superior cutting and mixing, penetrating dry soil effectively. With aggressive edges along the circumference, they seamlessly incorporate a large quantity of crop residue. Sharp blades efficiently cut through residue, and the profiled shape ensures optimal soil residue mixing. Available in a diameter of 520 × 5 and 560 × 5 mm.

Notched discs

The disc section is usually equipped with notched discs with a diameter of 520 x 5 mm; the diameter of 560 x 5 mm is available on request.

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.
